Switched out my roof box! Thule Roof Box installation, HOW TO!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2021
- While I was visiting my Mom & Dad in CT and getting Camper the snip snip, I found a sick deal on a new roof box so I swapped mine out. A few of you were wondering how to install, so here's a fun, entertaining & quick, how to! Should only take you a couple minutes. Also, send good vibes, Camper is pissed his box fort was taken away and hasn't looked at me in 3 days. What a guy.
PS. I don't love this box or recommend it if you have a choice of roof box, closing is it not fun, and you have to make sure the front and back are completely clear or it wont lock. Which is a process in its own. Great budget box but if you have the money, pay it out.

I gotta say, you are just too much fun. Love how you love your dog, and how you are making the most out of your life of 'CHOOSING' to live full time in your Prius! You Rock!
I own a home, but there’s just something appealing about your videos...
I have been using one of these for 4 years- easy on and off and really allows you to carry everything
Your positivity and energy are contagious! 👍

@@NikkiDelventhal your welcome ma'am. Snow here in north Carolina. But spring is on the way.
Your how to videos are interesting you should do a lot more of them its interesting listening to you explain all the stuff.
Great video... you're a great teacher. I don't even have a roof rack, nor do i need/want one yet. But you're instructions are very clear and precise.
Big koodos to the camera person/editor, too.
Yay thank you!!!! I do everything myself. Filming on a tripod or voice over with b roll, and edit my own videos! Tho, I will recruit friends I make if they’re around heheh in this instance my mom crushed it! Was visiting for a week and she’s a natural haha. :-)
@@NikkiDelventhal amazing how she placed the shot precisely where it needs to be. GJ mom.
You have quite a amazing life by yourself. A true free spirit !
Love how enjoyable you make your videos! Had me cracking up when you walked into frame with that on your head. 😂
Hahah thank you. I really want to make them fun to watch so even if you don’t need it done, you will know for the future and walk away smiling! And hopefully deep belly laughing(cause those are the BEST)!
I have a Prius and love this idea hahaha no more excuses for hubby truck vs Prius road trip 💪🏻 ♥️
Love your vids 😊 ty I'm about to go on some prius adventures cross country and your vids have been helping me prep
Thank you for the video, I’m literally about to purchase a similar roof box so this came in very handy.
Nice wind defector.
Love the bloopers
Hi nikki! Thats a huge roofbox. Now u can put some of ur items on top and free some space in your prius, yay! Hope thule would sponsor you. Haha... Stay happy and stay safe. Wishing you an amazing journey soon!
U are a good teacher.. I think your DIY are good ..
You're adorable! Responsible! Resourceful! A great pup! A terrific smile!!!😁 What's not to like?!🤔👍
I agree. She is so fun to follow, as if we’re sharing the adventure.
strong healthy robust lady gettin out an enjoying the world so cool !
Nikki: I used to have similar rooftop box on my Volvo XC-90. I loved the storage box but hated my SUV :) replaced with Jeep Wrangler 75th edition. I sold my roof rack for $50, this was made by Sears. Love your videos as always.
What roof box did you have? I don't love this one it was just a sick deal - both the ones I had of this continually get stuck and don't lock! CRAZY!
@@NikkiDelventhal I had one made by Sears and sold it for $50 only four years ago when I bought my Jeep Wrangler. Mine worked like a charm, I do have the picture of this rack installed on my Volvo. I can also forward you the photo. BlackBranch at att.net
@@NikkiDelventhal silicone lubricant in lock hole.
Nice to see you're back again!
Loving that box!!!!!
I love the residual cheerleader moves, kicks, and special effects. 👏🏻
You get better lookin every time u post.Cant wait for the next one.Keepin evrythin simple and fun.Glad I found your channel 💗
Awww thank you! Camper and I are in Florida and have some fun ones rolling out soon!
@@NikkiDelventhal At least it is warm there (my brother is there), but in Montana (here) it is -8.3F currently (02.13.2021(5am))
That’s awesome!!! We definitely need one of those!
Love the life you are living🐕
You are hilarious and your videos are great!😄👏
Very informative! Superb teacher!
Thank you!!! I needed this info. Great video!
Great video, thank you and have a great day
Awesome!! Yeah I'm sure having that storage option is super nice, I'll be getting one for my Jeep soon I'm sure. Great vid 👍
Soooo nice! The first 10 or so months without it made morning and night routines so much slower lol!
love seeing your videos
So I guess campers voice hasn't changed since getting fixed. 😁😃😆😅🤣😂😉 Campers looking good. Glad he is doing well.
Hahahahaha!
Super helpful...just ordere a kit with the soft box for my Prius V...was worried it wouldn't work...but after seeing this...I shouldn't have any issues
Great wheel kick!
Nikki now 36 lbs that’s impressive. TFS blessings from California 💕❤️💕🙋♀️
I’m going to start a channel about living, working and traveling in my Toyota RAV4. I found your channel during my research. I love your channel! Thanks for sharing :)
Great! Best of luck! Thanks so much!
Good video. Good thinking on the plate
Awesome video
Gorgeous smart fearless and capable with the courage to follow your dreams! How is someone as fabulous as Nikki single? You inspire me to get a Prius and leave the city for the wild!
RUclips isn’t real life. We don’t really know these people. As a person who has done my fair share of traveling and alternative living, I can assure you these kind of people have many issues lol (yes, that definitely includes me)
Wow Saw some pretty good shots already 😎
Just keep posting... More everything that you do and feel.
Them squats just got you a few Subs
Shower video was the reason I subscribed but, my favorite video is her Presidential mountain climb. Amazing
Facking simps...
guilty
because men sexualize?
@@dancemonkeydance538 Because nature.
I have always wonder about this...thanx a bunch😁...
Love your videos!! They were super helpful in preparing for my two cross country drives in my 2004 prius from east to west coast and back! I’m now thinking of doing another even longer cross country road trip so definitely interested in adding a Thule box. Which model is this (I know you said you don’t like it but I’m still curious to know)?
HAAH - the reg number "blur" cracked me up :D Good Job overall! :)
Thanks! Hahah
YASSSS. love it sister, We are twinning prius pals for sure!! this is great :)
Yayyyy! ❤️
"Shirt on backwards all day." Been there and done that. Your very real, and Camper reflects that. Please be safe Nikki.
And that is when I knew you were awesome...Ok, really it was the president's trail... Ok, really it was the first video (all about Nikki)
You are awesome and very entertaining. Say Hi to Camper ❤️👍
Knockout gorgeous. I mean your attitude.
It looks sharp.
Nice box! 👌
Make a patreon account, that'll help your funding..
She has one
@Gordy N/A hope she never do that
Love the dog
Me too!
I'd love to meet you on the diving board on top of half dome for a picnic! I love your adventurous spirit! Keep chasing your freedom
Half dome for a picnic! Epic!
I was born New London, CT. Fond memories of family life.
Can’t believe I’m the first one this time LOL, love your videos and love camper
HAH! Thank you, AJ! You rock!
PRO TIP: Thule carriers might be different, but I was surprised to read in my manual (forget the brand, I too got a great deal second hand) they do NOT recommend using it empty!
I guess it’s kinda flimsy and needs weight for rigidity.
@@NikkiDelventhal You’re welcome
@@MrTh3B0b maybe they need volume to make it more rigid, not necessarily weight. It's like sitting on a cardboard box that's empty vs has something in it. You shouldn't sit on either one, but the one that's full will likely survive the weight put on top of it?
@@fradee2830 basically what I meant
Still got the cheerleader moves! All grace, no grunt 😁. ❤🐶
HAHA! Love it.
Pretty!
Love those quads .😅😅😅
Great Balance! Your Beautiful Strong Woman!
love it.... thank you
If you come back to Utah I can teach you to alpine ski, cross country ski, and snow board. Snowshoeing is easy you’ll naturally do it!
Loving your videos, just have to say you would make a great Lara Croft 👍✌️You and Camper take care ✌️
Always wondered how these things work.
You are super cute.... I'm glade I found your channel I love your puppy Camper
Great vid thank you
Mmmm squats. Such good exercise. I was thinking of getting a roof tent and using the back seats storage for an event shelter . I only have a yaris so every mm makes a difference.
Just got my racks today. Waiting on a key in the mail for my found Thule box. Key west here I come.
Hello from New York City, I just suscribed, by the way I am in love 😍😍😍You are awesome 🌹
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this tutorial, I learnt how to pronounce Thule properly lol
My word nimble and strong plus stunning to boot
Hi Nikki,
Thanks for sharing these helpful tips .
Say hi to Camper for me,
Both have a great day
Very smart lady.
I am not a dog person. Would never own another but, that is one cute dog. He has a good personality too.
🥰
Your measurements look right to me 😎
Very nice , we need two videos a week please
Haha thank you - I will certainly try to deliver!:-)
Hi Nikki, I was wondering how much of a loss in your MPG did you lose when you installed you Roof Box or the first cargo roof box? I wasn't sure if it's the packed extra weight or the aerodynamics that reduced your MPG's. My Gen 2009 gets 49 highway and 51 city so far but I want to add a roof box later. Can you shed some light on what you've experienced? Many thanks and stay safe. Oh and hi to Camper.
Forcing me to binge watch...nearly out......h e l p meeeee. More videos :-)
Can’t beat 250 🤙🏻 excellent find!
Thank you! After years of bargain shopping and training under the queen of bargain hunting (my mother), I think was one of my better finds hah!
I've got the longest Thule on my Dodge Caravan, love it, more room for my large Doberman, I'm 230 ,shes 80plus, we wouldn't work to well in a Prius
I realize I'm late to this roof-rack party, but probably watched this video back when it was made also just due to following Nikki closely at the time. After years of a "no external cargo" policy on my road trips, I'm considering changing that policy. A few too many nights spent unable to fit into the bed in the car without an unreasonable amount of time repacking it when on special expeditions like the eclipse with extra equipment.
As I already have a receiver hitch on my Prius Prime, and a cheap HFT cargo carrier for it, I'm tempted to just bolt a mil-spec Hardigg or Thermodyne case on that and call it mission accomplished. Yet, rooftop Thule/Yakima/etc cargo boxes are so common, that I think they help retain stealth better than some oddball solution of my own. Enough people keep the Thule box on their car 24/365 that having one on, doesn't mean you are living in the car, on a camping trip, have anything desirable in it, or anything else in particular. It is the most anonymous and least attention-grabbing way to carry extra cargo, in my case to make sure I don't have to store stuff on my bed in the day or in the front seats at night when traveling.
Those crank-down bar grabbers sure work easily, but they intrude into the box interior volume very badly. The first thing I'd do is get rid of them and fasten the box down in a way that keeps the whole box bottom flat.
You should look into the habitent for the back of your prius.
I love your skills and that there is snow. 🤣 still not sure how you don’t freeze. I am cold here in the desert which isn’t actually technically cold. Stay safe and warm. 🤗
I will totally makes a video on this! ❤️ You too xo!
@@NikkiDelventhal we can’t wait to watch. You are amazing and fun to watch. I hope you start safe. My kids and I are in awww how brave this is. The window shades is smart. Thanks for taking the time to respond. 👍🏻
Hi Nikki - Which Thule roof box did you get? I'm planning on putting one on my Prius and I thought yours might be the ideal size that I'm looking for. Thanks a bunch for the helpful vids, and do stay safe!
Now you live in a full blown sprinter and aponcered to do so... Heckin props yo....
Nikki you are great
Nice back side view! 😂☘️
You’re just so cute. Take care always.
Just placed a order for my 09 Hyundai Elantra roof rack . Does that windshield really come in handy? Still don’t know what box to get but I do like that pulse design . Makes the small cars look good. Also looking at the motion one .
Good morning Niki
From Tucson Arizona
This is an invitation to come visit it's amazing
