In this video, we also do a weather test, to see if the 23Zero and Roam Adventure Cases withstand the elements.
Also we go over the different mounts that can be used for a Roam case to secure to your Roof Rack, whether it's a Prinsu roof rack, Front Runner, roof rack or any other style.
You can use cam straps, Bungi Cords, Ratchet straps... but these are all the budget ways to get it done. The better long term solution, is the Sherpa T bars, the EO (2) mounts and the new ROAM Rugged mounts. Each have their benefits.
Ultimately it depends on your budget, and if your want to drill holes in your case, and if you want ease of removing your case if you plan on doing so often.
The 23 zero case has limited options, as they do not make a mount for their case, and rely on the fact that you will be resourceful in making your own. You could make a T-bar like Sherpa's, or buy an extension bracket to add to the 83L Sherpa Mount. Also the EO2 mounts would work, but this is the most expensive of them all, and soon to no longer be in stock.
At the end of the video, I cleaned and protected the Case with Cerakote, which made the Case look better than new, as it makes it deep Black.
I laughed when you said "23Zero, you can get it in any color you want...aa long as it's grey"
Every now and then you can find used military auctions that sell Hardigg (Pelican), Zero, and ECS cases for crazy low prices. Especially when you consider how overbuilt they are.
yes, I did for Zarges cases K470.
They used once for transporting Lithium batteries for the fixed wing drones. Now I have 70 cases.. Anyone want one?
Where you located and how much you want for one
@@CruisingTheLandhow much?
@@CruisingTheLand ill take it
Real talk, for lifestyle products like these, why haven't Yakima and others come out with more rugged looking options for roof storage? There is clear demand.
Very True.
Glad to see alternative versions of the Roam case
Hopefully with some competition
One of them might lower their price 😅
Sorry to say but prices are not likely to come down anytime soon. It's too expensive with the cost of the cases and shipping from overseas
Thank you for sharing your experience/ opinion of those cases. I think I’m going to go with the Roam, on my future build.
The Newer Roams have a better hinge/strutt as well. There's a link in the description of that video, whereas you can save 5%.
Excellent review. Thorough, detailed but not overlong. Thank you.
Both great products. Both with advantage and disadvantages. I’d be happy with either… maybe next year truck budget lol. I’m literally using a rifle case from Princess Auto in Canada (think Harbour freight style) with a bunch of modification and drilling. But ultimately it’s doing what I need it to do
Nope. Roam is a sh1t product with worthless customer service. I bought one that the lid does not seal. Wrote to Roam. Never heard back.
Interesting comparison. It looks like they have reached some sort of agreement whereby they're using the same molds/supplier b/c the 23Zero 132L and Roam 132L are identical other than the fact that the Roam has pistons.
Very interesting. I checked it out and you are right. Quite the premium to pay for the 2 struts, and have a couple more color options. Has same recessed gasket which is something I like with Zero23.
The best part of plastic case’s is you can paint them to what ever color you want
Awesome comparison! I still think I have to go Roam just for the Rugged Mount. I would like the 23 Zero in black and you are correct in it having the better sealing design. Truly good stuff Brother!
Glad you liked the review!
Yes Black Roam with the Rugged mounts... Maybe next is a 83L low profile review, vs 95L Roam and 102L 23 23Zero..
@@CruisingTheLand That would be awesome! Roams 105L looks HUGE! I do like the way it opens however. Low profile is the only way to fly on a roof rack in my opinion. We have had kayak racks provide drag and a bunch of noise in the past.
Great videos, very informative. Let me know if you’re still selling recovery boards.
yes, I have new invetory of boards. You can message me at cruisingtheland@gmail.com
Dude, I really like Chemical Guys Hydro Shield. Works really good on my Jeep plastics.
Hi great vid, very detailed. Do you know if a hi lift jack fits inside of the 83l one? One is 45.5 x 10.5 x 5 inches
If length is not an issue, why not just use several Milwaukee pack out boxes? Why saddle yourself with a big old box when if you have a bunch of pack out boxes they can stack and you can take them with you so you don’t have to leave them on the truck for them to get stolen or broken into? Plus you have the flexibility of using them for lots of other options given their smaller size.
Milwaukee pack out box, on your roof rack? Will blow away at 75mph, het destroyed by weather, sun, rain.. Nahh pass on that.
Maybe inside for a few things, but definitely not on top of your rig.
Can you do a video on much less expensive cases, Roam and 23zero are to costly for me , I like the larger size 23 Zero
The corners on the side of the Roam look like they are warping up. I’ve seen this in some other reviews of this older style of Roam
yes, newer is imported. But nature of LLPE plastic , is sun can warp over time.
OD you have any titanium grey maxtrax available for cheap?
Great video
Great video!
Nice comparison. My roof rack has a length ( front to back) of 40 inches. Do you think the rugged mount have enough adjustability to work on the rack with of course adequate stabililty to support the roam 95L case?
The 95L case is 47.5 inches so the Rugged mounts will be sticking out almost 4" on each side, giving only the inner side of the to secure down. What type of rack..You would want to screw down the mount at 4 points, like a rectangle, and not just 2 points where it would teeter tottering. You may need 2 bars (Prinsu style) om each side to secure to.
Or you could make a metal bracket to lengthen the bar support and attach 4 screws each side. Once the case.is attached to the mounts, it should hold with its weight on the mounts.
Thanks, helps a lot. Have standard rack on 4runner offroad with after market crossbars. I would need to come up with a bracket system. Appreciate your suggestion.
Good morning. thank you for the comparison video. Can the Roam 95L Rugged (expensive, easily removable) mount be used with the 102L 23 Zero case??? I'm going back and forth between these companies and Pelican for a roof rack mounted case, but have not decided yet.
No, the Rugged mount only works with the Roam..And, there are 2 different Rugged mounts.. I for the 95L and one for the 83L. They are different!
@@CruisingTheLand Thank you. I paused it at 10:30 and left the message before heading to work. Now that I'm back, I just finished the video and realized you addressed my question right at the end. Sorry about asking a redundant question.
Why would you waste space of either box for traction boards?
Roof space, dirty boats that you don't want to put in the vehicle, multiple reasons. But you don't have too.. you can put whatever you like in the case.
Do you have a link for the T bracket to install the ROAM box? You said its by Sherpa
yes Sherpa
Your straps are worth $3.83 each: Thermo-Plastic Handles with Webbing
They are made by the same manufacturer. The handles cost maybe a dollar not 25-30 bucks.
I would like to order 30 handles.. Can I send you the 30 by Zelle or Paypal?
how come your link for roam 18% doesnt work
Milwaukee packouts using their baseplates to easily mount and switch out.
Great video man, i know its been a year now since you made this video. Do you still have any traction boards left?
Absolutely! I have all colors and the metal ones are with Yellow Zinc Grade 8
@@CruisingTheLand awesome! How much for 2 of the orange boards?
@714TRAVLES Orange with the yellow Zinc Gr8 is 340 (15% off retail) and with major uograde on the metal. Or 280 for thr normal boards. You can message me at cruisingtheland@gmail.com
Hey man how do I reach you for some Actiontrax hook ups?
text me at 949.966.4411 or email at cruisingtheland@gmaul.com
Hi! I just watched your video and I was wondering if you still have some action trax for sale? How much are you asking for ? Thank you!
Yes I do.
I now put Yellow Zinc Grade 8 hardware and still have it priced below retail.
You can message cruisingtheland@gmail.com
@@CruisingTheLand how much would you charge for 1 pair? Thank you!
Do you have any more of the traction boards for sale?
Yes I do. All colors in stock.
You can message at cruisingtheland@gmail.com
You still sell recovery boards?
yes I do..What color you looking for?
Good information in the video but a bit too long. Digresses often and by a great deal. Subscribed but looking for more direct and to the point comparisons.
Ok good feedback. I will be more cognizant of it for thr next videos. Or perhaps I can day fast forward to the 5min mark for summary...
I guess maxtrax patents has run out if they are copying design.
How much for the recovery boards ?
They are 340
(Compare to retail is 399 plus ship and tax, and that's with Silver Zinc, mine are with yellow Zinc which is 2.5x more the cost of Silver)
So the value is there. Plus these are new of course and have the 5 year warranty.
You can't break these boards if you tried. They are boards for life.
I don’t see the $100 off rot the 23zero
I paid for the 105 liter box and they sent me the 55 for the 105 price. No answer sent an email and I got an auto reply that they lost customer service employees so won't be getting a response for a while. Phone number goes to voicemail. So frustrating thank goodness I used PayPal so I will be getting my money back and if they want this box they are going to have to pay. For the price it's a great product for the business they are not professional
Ouch! That sucks.. to get it wrong in the first place, but to struggle to correct it is pretty bad.
Hi, how can I contact you directly?

@@CruisingTheLand Cheers!
Pelican 1770 is 100x better then both of these, pay to play
The Pelican is way too heavy. I have 2 1650s and their detriment is their weight.
@@CruisingTheLandhow is that a Detriment? Hit the gym bud, the 1770 is heavier then your 1650s and is the military choice to lug around in the harshest environment. But keep your roam with weak latch systems 😂
on Roof Rack.
However the Zarges cases are the best, light like Roam, sturdier than Pelican and sexy as hell.
