Homebrew roof box...thing...
so i was drivin around the other night, and drive past a house with beige homebulit roof box for sale, including fully adjustable gutter mount roof racks with it. its abit better now that i have it sprayed black, but what do you guys think...use it for a while while i make something different, or leave it and mount some lights to it and cover it in stickers?
Oh, i payed $30 canadian for it, including the gutter mount racks.

that thing has to be huge and make your jeep incredibly top heavy. not very nice on the eyes either if you ask me. but hey if you like it stick with it if not keep the gutter mounts and build yourself a beast roof rack.

surprisingly, i dont even notice it up there at all (its made of wood) untill i get up over like 140kph and there is a good cross wind. Its really light...i can lift it on the roof myself. its kinda huge for my liking too, but i need the storage for a road trip im taking next week.
and i agree, its really really ugly. but for the rails, it was worth it. lol
