Anyone built a rooftop box?

Post by comprex »

Having one's first post in Apres is probably a bit off, sorry 'bout that.

I have access to affordable 3mm plywood and West System, hence the interest.

If anyone has built one, I'd love to hear about solutions for light weight rigid lids.

Thanks.

Thinking of giving this a try soon.

Going to try vacuum bagged fiberglass against a fiberboard mold with wood stringers.

Have to fix the wheels first - Geo tracker with transmission problems and a leaky engine.

Comprex, Look up some info about stitch and glue kayaks/boats. For a plywood roof box that woud be a good method.

Watch the costs. I figured it would cost $300+ to do one out of glass and epoxy. Yakima's space boost 11 runs ~$250.
