I went a different route. Even though I can afford to spend the money, paying $800 for two ROAM boxes was out of the question so I gave the Harbor Freight 9800 rifle boxes a try due to their low profile. Even after a year on the roof of my Suburban in the extremely hot Texas summers and sub-freezing winters, they're still nice and tight and leakproof. Picked them up on sale for $119 each, and just picked up two more for actual rifle storage use on the Memorial Day sale for $99 each. Very underrated box. If you don't have money to burn, it might be a good option for many.
I have 2 of the Planos. added weatherstripping to make them essentially waterproof. they are good for what they are. I keep my recovery gear in one. I believe that Magellan has now eclipsed them. their 92qt version, while 2x the price of the Planos, are significantly better built with more features, and are still under $100. Lots of folks like the Frontrunner (now the Pro version), and they are very space efficient, and you can put legs on them to get them up to waist level. but they are SMALL. need more of them. Some things won’t fit. If you have a Jeep or other limited space vehicle, they do pack well in the rear. Roam is simply overpriced. if you need the absolutely best protection, Pelican is a better way to go IMO. Not familiar with the Sterilite.
@@roamingwithjosh I would not mount the Planos externally, nor ship them via airlines. They simply aren’t robust enough. Amazon reviews are replete with photos and complaints of broken Planos, when folks try to use them those ways. They are absolutely great in truck/SUV beds. Frontrunners seem to be just water resistant, but not fully waterproof. If you need ultimate protection, Pelican is still the gold standard, with newcomer Yeti a very close second. There are reviews of Roam hardware rusting - which seems REALLY odd to me, not sure how credible or widespread that really is. Roam seems to make high-quality gear. With Roam, you seem to be buying a LOT of plastic/ weight to afford lots of protection. Just my impression. The Sterilite cases seem emblematic of that class of low cost, quality trunk/bed-only solutions. I would also recommend Rubbermaid’s classic Actionpacker and Husky’s Pro line of bins (their lids are transparent and watertight, but seem to max out at 20 gallons) are two other good choices in this category. I have several of the Husky bins and they have performed well for me - in the truck bed and campsite, not roof-mounted.
Great point about overpriced boxes. I found a no name plastic box in a supermarket, ultra robust, for 20 euros (!?!) and a metal cantine for 12 euros in a years end sale. Im very happy with it and no need for overprices stuff, often wanted because its the actual hype. As you said, its just a plastic box. Stay safe. You have a new subscriber. 👍👍
Good video but just a suggestion.....put those products in better lighting and give views from various angles on both the inside and outside.. Keep it up...I am a subscriber!
I have two Plano and two Sterilite. Both are wonderful. Both are enough for my camping trip. Plano seems a little flimsy to set on the roof rack. It's thin, frasile but I don't do any tough offroad tesk in my trip. Sterilite set into inside cargo area. Thus don't need to be heavy duty. I'm not a rich. I don't wanna spend crazy money for plastic box.
I have that green Roam box. It sits in the garage when I’m not out on adventure and all three hinges are rusting already. I’ve had it for less than a year. It’s a nice box but I don’t think it was worth the price. If it was made in the USA, I’d say it was worth it, maybe, but all of Roam’s junk is made in china. I have their awning too and it’s made just as poorly as every other awning on the market. I ended up being smart and buying Plano boxes. I love my Wolfpack box too. The roam looks cool on the trail but that’s about it.
I've tried to use my roam boxes multiple times and they just end up getting in my way. The only time I will ever take one on a trip again is it's on my rack.
Great video! I love the honesty and you just saved me $650 as I was going to pull the trigger on a Roam, however similar to you I don’t really need one and I use a set up with similar cheap boxes for a tenth of the price that works perfectly 😂. Subscribed 👍🏻
I took the bite on the Roam case, too (without the discount). They are heavy, but it’s mounted to my roof rack, so it’s not a problem for me. The locks make it super convenient, since it’s always out in plain sight. Plus, with it being on top of the truck, it’s nice that it just stays open. I’ll be honest though, I mostly bought it because I liked the looks of it. Just ordered the Roam awning and the lid organizer for the Roam box… I think it’s safe to say I’m hooked on Roam!
me and my gf have 4 plano(2 108qts and two smaller ones) and we love them, when we take off and put on our RTT, we use the plano 108 as roller carrier since it has wheels, we stand on them, we used them in the rain and snow, no problem!
My Plano case has been rock solid other than the lid separating from the box. That happened on a trip and it still held up just fine. I get paid zero by roam, but I must say their case is a well built piece of plastic.
@@roamingwithjosh yeah, i agree, Roam seem to be better made and will last longer. Funny talking about roam, I am looking to get one(105L) but only thing holding me back i can’t find a point that i can run my lock wire so it can prevent thieves to open/steal the box
@@pepper508 not sure how thick your lock wire is, but the clasps have space to put a small lock on them for security. You may be able to fit that lock wire through there. I would guess it's about 1/4-1/2 inch in gap.
@@roamingwithjosh really? I have not been able to find anything. Good thing you gave me this info, i started to look at some Pelican Cargo cases since security seems to be a huge priority for those cases. Illl go give Roam a call today so I can get the exact fitting. Thank you so much! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I was going to do this same comparison review. I have 4 Front Runners on my trailer roof rack, a Roam 105, Green Horizon totes as the cheap entry, and the wild card, a Hartage USGI foot locker. I think you nailed it. I may just be lazy and send people here to your video.
Is it worth it he asks on the $224 box. I’d ask, can you afford it? does it serve a purpose in your passion project? If the answer is yes to both of those questions - than the $224 box is worth it. It’s only money.
For those who are saving and on a budget check out the husky professional storage bins. 3 diff sizes fully water proof and dust proof dual hinged lid to open from either side and the biggest one is only like 30 bucks there stackable and tops are clear so I can see what's what. I have 8 that I use for general storage and then I will use them for camping as well.
I’m just getting into it all and I picked up a military medical transport container. About 33x20x12 and made of aluminum. Depending on condition, $50-$100 plus shipping which is usually a bit high due to the size.
Great video. I have used the Sterilite boxes for years and they have worked really well for us. They also come is various sizes - some in same footprint, but different heights. They nest/stack well too and have groves for tie down straps.
Just starting to build my over landing forerunner. I would love to know what’s the difference between certain products and if they’re worth it. There’s 1000 pop-up tents, storage boxes, etc, Seems like there are some that are extremely expensive but they do the same thing as the mid range. Very informative I appreciate it
Love the approach for showing a range of options. I think you’re right on that it is an important component, but at the end of the day there are lots of solutions for storing gear. It is always nice to have the premium stuff if it’s in the budget. I use both the Plano and Sterilite boxes on my boat. The Sterilite boxes are actually a little tougher in my opinion, but I do like the Plano’s.
I appreciate that! I think people forget that not everyone who starts a youtube channel knows anything about producing videos and we do what we think makes sense at the moment even if that turns out not to be a masterpiece. I appreciate the kindness!
Went to Sedona Arizona for my first over-landing trip in my gladiator on Christmas holiday. I used storage plastic bins for my camping stuff and dry foods worked great for me 👍🏼 initially I wanted the roam adventure cases but cost to much 😬
How was the weather out there?? I was there this time last year and it was fantastic. Trust me, I know what you mean about the prices. I was switching some gear around this weekend to the Roam cases and I might have to say they're worth the money. I'm going to hold off on saying that until I get some more use out of them, but so far they are actually pretty nice.
@@roamingwithjosh During the days it was beautiful sunny days not to hot or cold. It was just in the nights it was cold but good clothing to keep you warm was good. Looking forward on that video on the roam adventure cases.
I have 1 Steralite Industrial Tote that I picked up god knows where and god knows when. It use to be filled with random stuff, but about a year ago I emptied it out and started using it as our camp kitchen box. It has nice straight sides and holds everything so well. Fits perfectly in my 4runner in line with a 5 gallon Septer water jug all behind one of the rear seats. I through the tent and camp chairs in the middle, and a cooler on the other side. And then a random Rubbermaid tote on top of the Steralite for the rest of my gear. I keep checking out the Plano and front runner boxes online thinking that I can find something better. Maybe the answer is that simple. Just get another Steralite Industrial Tote or two. I wish it were waterproof though so I could throw it up on the roof if needed. I agree with you that the Steralite feels like the definition of nothing special. That is it’s major flaw. It has no flare or sex appeal. But it just works so damn well.
I couldn't agree more. I've spent a few dollars trying to find something better. The steralite boxes worked great until it comes to standing on them, sitting on them, or being waterproof, which is why I tried the others. Front runner is great for that reason, but they're just small and I ended up having 2 boxes for something I could have a single Sterilite box. I'll see how the Roam plays out, but only time will tell with that.
Like the video but how long have you had each box? I would like to know if you buy cheap are you going to have to buy again later? Or visa versa? And maybe a box with items inside so we can get an idea how much can fit inside. Thanks!
Hey there! The roam boxes are brand new and I haven't had them for very long, but the others I've had for a while and used several times. All of them have held up well so far, even the cheap ones. I will take that info into consideration next time when making a video and try to show more shots that give a better understanding of how much you can fit inside them.
My buddy uses the rigid boxes and he loves them so far. I'm hoping I can put my addiction to sleep for a while and not purchase any more storage container lol
I've used the sterilite boxes for many years as well but I continue to look for something better because they have one glaring flaw that annoys me to no end... When I stack them in my truck and the outside lip that the lid rests on is touching the box next to it there is a huge gap between each one. In other words they create a ton of wasted space in my vehicle. The wolf packs have been interesting because they seem to be one of the few where someone has created a perfectly square box that you can fit side to side or on top of each other without a huge amount of space wasted between each box.
I agree on the pace loss, but I have front runner boxes too and they sit on the shelf in my garage. I’m not sure if they’ve made bigger ones or not, but the wolf pack boxes I have are just too small to use regularly. They may be an option for me in the Subaru, but I’m still not sure if they will work due to their size. Appreciate the input!
@@roamingwithjosh yeah, the wolf packs are not the solution for me... Too small and they don't seal in your stuff. I need dust proof. So far I've had good luck with Ridgid tool boxes from home Depot. Water proof, dust proof and fairly cheap. AND, they stack and lock together
Great suggestions, I've use plano so far and after broken it too many times goint to frontrunner (in europe/uk sell with otrer 3 brand) after talking with a friend who is truck driver suggest me the box that use in his rig, very durable and thinking for stay outside explosed at the harsh enviroments (it's have keylock, hardware and mountingo point, sealed, ...) good dimension for all what I need, if need small case I will buy pellican case or wallmart clone
I've been considering the roam 95L to upgrade from my yellow top storage bins I bought at Walmart. It would go on the roof rack, and the bins obviously would not, but I would likely transfer some gear from the bins to the roof. The 95L is $369 everywhere I've seen it lately and yeah, that's a lot of dough for a box. Think I'll stick with the bins for now, and get a cargo bar to keep them in place when I'm on off-road trails while my camping gear is inside. Thanks for the review. It's been helpful.
No worries! Both of my 95L cases sit in the garage and no longer get any use because my Sterilite totes are just better for everything. I'd be happy to sell you one of mine at a discounted price if you do feel the need to pull the trigger on one.
I really have to disagree with your assessment of the ROAM boxes, I own like.. 5 or 6 of them and they are expensive AF but the quality is only matched by Pelican. I have expensive gear that I want to be kept dry & I want my food to be kept safe from bears. One thing I absolutely HATE about them is that the latch is only big enough for those tiny cable locks so I riveted a hasp onto mine so I can padlock them. The only reason I would say to skip them is if youre storing your stuff inside and dont need the water/dust proof features but I have a trailer that I store all of my gear on so the are exposed 100% of the time
I’m going to have to retract the statement I made all that time ago because we’re on a trip right now and I have my roam box attached to the tongue box on my trailer and it’s been fantastic. I guess it’s more of a hard pill to swallow. I totally agree with the latch size not being enough. Thanks for the input!
Amazing my friend.. Great upload. Thanks for sharing i support your channel full keep safe all day. I waiting your New more video & visit me stay conected 💕🙏👍💕
On the comment you deleted you called me a "hoore" for promoting companies who pay me the most, but not one of those companies pays me a dollar. There are also worse ways you can waste 17 minutes of your life so you're welcome.
@@roamingwithjosh Well, I didn’t expect your reply right away. Anyhow thanks for your reviews on all this boxes. After another look at your video I realize I want the roam adventure boxes. I am sorry I called you a hoore lol

Looking at boxes now for our setup, timely video! Thx for sharing!! 🤙 -Josh
No worries! Hope it helped out!
my rule is if the items in the box cost less than the cointainer then you spent too much on the box
You’re not wrong at all. That’s a good philosophy.
All great boxes. Plano is hard to beat. I've used the Frontrunner but agree that they can be small. I use the High lids with them. Great reviews !

There's a lot of items out there and it's hard to decide what's worth the money vs not. Tents are generally all made in 1 place, China.

Can you jump on it (literally)?

No worries! Both of my 95L cases sit in the garage and no longer get any use because my Sterilite totes are just better for everything. I'd be happy to sell you one of mine at a discounted price if you do feel the need to pull the trigger on one.
@@roamingwithjosh where are you located and how much of a discount are you talking about?
@@jlj209 Im in columbus ohio. We can work something out. Send me a message on Instagram overlandingnow and lets figure it out.
I really have to disagree with your assessment of the ROAM boxes, I own like.. 5 or 6 of them and they are expensive AF but the quality is only matched by Pelican. I have expensive gear that I want to be kept dry & I want my food to be kept safe from bears. One thing I absolutely HATE about them is that the latch is only big enough for those tiny cable locks so I riveted a hasp onto mine so I can padlock them. The only reason I would say to skip them is if youre storing your stuff inside and dont need the water/dust proof features but I have a trailer that I store all of my gear on so the are exposed 100% of the time
I’m going to have to retract the statement I made all that time ago because we’re on a trip right now and I have my roam box attached to the tongue box on my trailer and it’s been fantastic. I guess it’s more of a hard pill to swallow. I totally agree with the latch size not being enough. Thanks for the input!
Dude your videos would be awesome if you'd also show the boxes as you are talking about them :)
I’ve learned a lot over the past year and that my friend is one of the many things. I get a little better every upload, I promise!
@@roamingwithjosh sounds good man. Hey do you know if the roam boxes are USA made?
@@Ryan-zc1tz I don't know for sure if they are or not. I hope they are!
reviewing boxes but not showing the boxes complete.. failed
Why are we doing a review in the dark? Why is the product in the background and not forward. Great visual 🤦🏻♀️
Just so I could receive warm and uplifting comments like these.
I dont think he could have worse lighting. Still dont k ow what they look like but he talked all about em lol
Unfortunately, not all of us are professional light and sound guys.
Imagine how the settlers used to live in these harss conditions on the top of everything getting raided by local Indians was not fun at all.
Amazing my friend.. Great upload. Thanks for sharing i support your channel full keep safe all day. I waiting your New more video & visit me stay conected 💕🙏👍💕
You kept talking instead of showing the box ,
I like to talk.
To much talk. I haven't seen the box
What i got out of this vid is, dont do a vid in the dark and actually show the product you are talking about....
Well, I appreciate the input!
I have Plano,Wolfpack and Home Depot special
Roam!? 😂😂
I just waisted 17 min of my life listening to an expert that can't even make up his mind on what box he thinks its the best...
On the comment you deleted you called me a "hoore" for promoting companies who pay me the most, but not one of those companies pays me a dollar. There are also worse ways you can waste 17 minutes of your life so you're welcome.
@@roamingwithjosh Well, I didn’t expect your reply right away. Anyhow thanks for your reviews on all this boxes. After another look at your video I realize I want the roam adventure boxes. I am sorry I called you a hoore lol
@@TigerNgtMare No worries! I don't take offense to very much. The Roam boxes are sweet, I think you'll be happy.
Great Information.
