For want of a roof box...

5 brave men and women of law enforcement are fallen in action in Dallas. And people are talking about something as trivial as roof boxes? :mad:
:laugh: See You Next Tuesday.

So I can fit the roof box to me new Land Rover, I need cross bars. So I can fit the cross bars, I need to get roof rails. This will be the THIRD set of mountings I have bought for the roof box, a box that cost about £100 and has now set me back in excess of £500 to get it on top of the cars. :mad: AND I need to find a replacement parcel shelf for the back of the car; another £150 or so.

Nobody WANTS a roof box! Some people NEED it, but they don't WANT it all the same... :doh:

I'd just like a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
Me, all the time -

Nurse: "You better stay in your bed too" :-\

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

Do stop it. It was bad enough trying to work out *what* it was called. I thought it would be something sensible like a boot cover, no that goes under everything, or a privacy screen, those are for the windows. Stupid names.

You probably should have bought an American made pickup. Just through whatever it is you have in the back. On top of that, it would also include a pre-mounted gun-rack.

Is it possible to get it delivered with a .50 cal installed too?

Chains / straps / cables. Let's not get into semantics.

There are many things I could have got, but considering that as each new generation of my family has come the genepool has widened I don't feel I have the right breeding for a pick-up.

Of course, you may also simply not be man enough to own a pick-up... But that's none of my business...

I used to have a 1985 Olds Delta 88... a boat of a car. When I needed to transport a quantity of items, I purchased a roof box, drilled holes, attached securing points and put it on top of the car. No racks, just the car top. I then used ratchet straps from the securing points; the straps when just between the doors and the roof. Low cost and effective.
