You might also want to consider using a soft cartop carrier. They're cheap (around $40) and I find them easier to load than the hard-case variety. As you should only place light stuff in them, for me, that usually means sleeping bags, tents, etc, items that are easily "squished" into place. I've never had security issues with them in Baja. I get two-three years of use out of them before they spring a hole. But, to be fair, they can let in a little dampness when it rains real hard.
Not saying that's the way to go, just another option to consider.




There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

bajaguy...

So when you get to your destination...do you unpack the cat and fluff him up? Or...do you have to re-hydrate him for an hour in some warm water??

Miguelamo :rolleyes: :lol: :?: :biggrin: :?: :P





Once she sees me getting out the air compressor, she fluffs right up.........but that's another story :lol:

bajaguy, I think he meant your cat, not your blow up doll. :)

MaryLyn - your existing roof rails, duffel bags and a cargo net. Cheap, fast, flexible and easy. Come to think of it - Just like Bajaguys doll.
