Roof storage options

[BBQ BOY]

I am debating on wether or not to buy a Yakima Skybox 21 or just get a BajaRack, Gamavitti or a Pioneer Platform like you see in the link.

Originally, I was going to just get the Skybox because I can just throw it on the wife's Suburban for when we go on vacations. Storage can be an issue when we have the jogging stroller and pack & play. If we didn't have those two things, then it would be a different story.
Anyway, I am kind of liking the idea of being able to have an awning when needed and it would come in handy at tailgates too. They can hold a lot of cargo but weather could be an issue. I do not plan on getting a RTT, so I don't want to build around that. My only concern with the Rhino is it's completely flat. i would prefer some kind of side rail for better latching points. That is where the Baja looks to come in play.
So, what are your thoughts?

Front runner rack , I''ll put it on for you. Too many mounting options to list for gear and such. Im thinking of bolting a seat up there for the kids if we get into the Christmas parade. Its aluminum too so will look perfect for ages, and I can walk on it when I'm strapping down gear.

Pricey but I'll check it out. Thanks.

I won't have truck that long!!!!!!! I am looking at the Rhino Rack too.

if not Baja Rack I would get Frontrunner Wind Cheetah...

 

[FMKV]

A low mount frontrunner would complete that truck

I think I'm going to put the roof top storage on hold and opt for the Outback drawers or Slee steel rear bumper.
