Loaded it up to the gills and went to the beach. With the 2.5 OME medium kit and about 1,000 of people and cargo it rides great at 75mph on the highway. Back roads are still a little choppy, but much better than when it's just me in it.

It's great. I got 2 pack n plays (portable cribs), 3 beach umbrellas, 2 beach chairs and a couple smaller items in there without too much trouble. There is no wind noise at all. If I didn't open the sun shade and look up I never would of known it was there.
But we took this trip without our 90lb lab. We plan to bring him with us to Florida later this year, so that means more stuff needs to go up or out in the back rack. I have an 18 month old and a 3 month old, so I have 2 car seats in the back, plus my wife sits back there to tend to them. Then we have the baby bag and our little cooler in the front seat. So that means everything else goes in the back (minus the 3rd row seats which I leave home). I was shocked at how much fit in there, but I had stuff piled to the ceiling. So I am considering selling this roof box and getting something bigger. I need more than $50 for mine if you're interested. But if the neighbor is dumping theirs for $50 I'd say jump on it, they're very useful.

@maxse01 - I've got a slightly bigger Thule box you're welcome to borrow for your trip. It is pretty wide but might be a bit shorter than yours? We fit our tent, 4 sleeping bags, 2 or 3 duffels, our stove and usually a small bag with beach towels and shoes up there.
To the other poster, for $50 jump on it! No wind noise from ours either. It is nice to have and an absolutely necessity for a family of our size.

Thanks Ben! I appreciate the offer.
Ouch
Nicely done!
Do you have a build thread on your drawer / sleeping platform set up?
There is a ~$200 bypass now available that does not code with no down side.
For those with only off road use in mind
here is a link to plug and play version that requires not modification to original wiring and is undetectable.Air Induction Pump Bypass Kit

I haven't put together a thread, no. I did take lots of photos though.

Ordered tires this morning. Install will be Wednesday. 275/70R18 Toyo OC AT2. Even found a buyer for my Michelin take-offs so even better!
All I have left to do is install my Slee AHC over-ride and find some sliders and I will be done.
