Howdy from Houston

You roll thru Pearland this morning? Pretty sure I passed ya

 

[Anathollo]

Yeah, my k9 has the slots for bolt heads. So I can mount with bolts just about anywhere. I suppose with the nut inside the case, that'd be pretty tamper proof. While the Pelican cases look great, I'm thinking something simple like one of these might be a good place to start and get some experience: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilit...vailable-in-Case-of-2-or-Single-Unit/44785752

I'd have to use ratchet straps to keep the lids down during transit and obviously they wouldn't be secure from thieves, but they're a cheaper starting point.

Buy once, cry once. Pelican cases are the only ones worth a damn.

@bakerla - Yes, I took 518 from 288 over to Dixie Farm Road this morning. Were you the silver Tacoma with the roof top tent over the bed that I saw going the opposite direction?

 

[Silverback]

that would be his

Yes. That a short way for you or 288 have an accident?

 

[darenwelsh]

I'm not sure what you mean. I was driving directly from where I live over to the Clear Lake area where I work.

I've had my eye on Front Runner's Wolf & Cub packs...something to consider

I believe that's what @bakerla is running .He doesn't have them mounted to the roof rack but they're super nice!

 

[bakerla]

I've got their storm proof bag and the 2 smaller boxes that fit in the bag. I'm happy with all, the bag has done well.

Thought maybe beltway 8 would be quicker since 518 is so slow.

They are slick!

Ah, ok. Yeah ... 8 is always an option. It's not that much more time to take the streets and I prefer to avoid the maniacs who drive so aggressively on the highways.

Well yeah...anyone who has the property you live on now wouldn't come back to Houston...

Pelican can be had for cheap when you buy them from a used military surplus store. They may have a few scratches and dings, but for 50-70% off it is what it is if your on a budget.

Yep, I buy mine used off Craigslist.
