Roam adventure box (1 Viewer)

[Oldsman71442]

Curious if anyone has ordered or has their hands on the roam adventures rooftop box? I am curious about the tie downs. YouTube everyone drills holes in them and bolts them to the rack. I do not want to do that. But the roam website says they have 1” strap tie down which is what I’m wanting but I can’t tell how it works. I have reached out to them and got no response so far. so I am curious if anyone here has one and willing to send me some pictures? Thanks!

No, but they look really functional.

The tie down is right at the handles.

I don't own one, but I'm sure it works just like a Yeti tie down.

I've got the long skinny one, and it ties down exactly like this. You can strap by the handles, and Roam include more holes along the body of the case for better/different configurations.

That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks! Now trying to figure out if I order one or two? I live in Hawaii and right now Amazon says they will ship them to Hawaii for $20. Ha ha just have a feeling after I order one they will up the charge if I want a second one once they realize their shipping charge is insufficient

Tie downs are at the handle openings. Kinda a pain to thread past handle and could use ones front and back also.

How do you like it ?

It worked well to keep dust out on dozens of trips through the UT deserts, and water out through a few trips through the PNW. Growing family though, so I sold it and now use a big boring skybox (and hope it'll put up with the abuse).

sorry I meant that the feet will work with their cross bars for the truck. Not the Roam box. But looks like one! What do you like cargo wise?

Hey @saucebox, interested in what types of things you most often put in the Roam case?

Looking for alternatives to my hard mounted aluminum box.

It really depended on the trip! I still park inside a garage (barely), so it had to come off every time. For the most part, we used it for things that were weirdly shaped and otherwise hard to tie down...stuff we really didn't want flying around a car seat in a hard crash. For a more solo kind of trip, I tossed stuff in there that I didn't need to access often. Spare parts sometimes, or tarps, etc.

Thanks for the feedback. I've got a Plano storage box in the rear of the LC which stays in it mostly 24 x 7. But would like to get most or all of the off road gear out of it and put it up top and free up some room in the rear compartment.
