#63198 - 06/02/01 07:38 AM Looking for a good roof cargo bag
Dr. Xtreme Member Registered: 01/02/01 Posts: 100 Loc: Columbia, MO, USA	I used search to look for a previous thread on this, and I didn't find one. Please don't flame me if it's been covered before.... I am looking for a roof bag that will work with the stock roof rack. I have found a couple on the internet, but I don't really want "UHaul" printed on the side. Does anyone have a bag that they especially like/hate? I am going to Estes Park, CO in June. The bikes and fly rods are going in the back of the X, so the bag is just to hold whatever won't fit. Thanks for your input. ------------------ 2001 XE V6 Auto Super Black 3 pk. _________________________ 2001 XE V6 Auto Super Black 3 pk.

( I saw it in one of my catalogues, but they should have it at their site . www.steelhorseautomotive.com ) waterproof fabric bag, I'm guessing the dimensions were 48 x 48 x 18 ?, I'd have to check, has a latch tie down system to fit the bars, bullet nose to it for wind resistance, and when you don't need it, you can fold it away. ------------------ member of http://www.soxc.org http://www.geocities.com/x_canuk _________________________ member of http://www.soxc.org member of http://www.nexterra.org

xcanuk Member Registered: 17/08/00 Posts: 2808 Loc: Mtl. Que. Canada	I've seen the other bags around.. I key in on the words.. "water resistant" and "waterproof".. most of the cheaper bags are water resistant. Not too sure how they would last on top while driving a few hours in the rain ? ------------------ member of http://www.soxc.org http://www.geocities.com/x_canuk _________________________ member of http://www.soxc.org member of http://www.nexterra.org

FSRBIKER Member Registered: 16/08/00 Posts: 1001 Loc: Oak Ridge, NJ	The Steel Horse bag is water resistant, after driving to Colorado for GOX last year I had water in the bag plus it was not very durable....I guess you get what you pay for. ------------------ _________________________ FSRBIKER 97 TJ, 2" lift, 32's 69 Bronco, locked Dana 44, 35" MTR's, 5.5" lift EOE...Opening Soon!

Or, you could go with one of these babies: http://www.altrec.com/shop/detail/6226/9 ------------------ Thanks, Pahnutmanem _________________________ kjw & the PNUTMNM The liver is evil, and must be punished...

Anonymous Unregistered	Do a search under suv parts or truck parts and it brings up a specialty shop that had a pretty good one, that wasn't too expensive. I'd look it up again but I can't right now. ------------------ Do you smellalallalalala what Xrock is cookin?
