Default some pics of my brand new low-pro cargo box -

It's nice and low, but suprisingly roomy inside. it can hold four snowboards. I actually wish it was even lower... It's 9 inches tall, but I think I only need about 6.

I noticed less than a .5 gallon drop in MPG during my usual hour and a half long drive to Seattle.

I was going to paint it but the finish is nice and shiny and pretty darn close to the atlas, so I think I will just keep it as is. Plus that is just the color of the plastic so I'm sure it will be way more durable than paint.

When I look up through the sunroof I can see it shake (vibrate) at speeds over 70mph. I can not hear it or feel it, but I can see it... Does that happen to anyone else with cargo boxes?

(sorry for the dim pics, it was getting kinda late)

Looking good. My Thule vibrates as well but routinely hits 100mph with no problems.
