Pelican Cargo Storage - Anyone using these?

[WhereRU_A-A-Ron]

I'm looking for a rooftop storage solution and have narrowed it down to ROAM cases and Pelican Cargo cases. Anyone running the Pelican solution or know someone who is? The mounting solution for the Pelican cases seems to be the most robust, by quite a lot. I don't want my gear getting five finger discounted while we're camping and hiking.

I mount the BX140R case to a Pioneer Platform utilizing the Pelican RFMT001LG Large Roof Case Mount. Very pleased as the case is impressive and mounting is very secure. I lock the case itself and lock it to the Platform with a cable and padlock that winds through the traction boards. As they say it keeps honest people honest. The only downside is the cost of the setup. Not cheap.

Thanks for replying. I haven’t seen a lot of real world reviews out there. And, like you said, these certainly aren’t cheap so I want to know these are going to hold up. Do you mind me asking if you bought local to you or online?

I bought it directly from Pelican online.

Don't know about using Pelican cases on Jeeps specifically, however my company uses them extensively to ship very expensive equipment all over the world and to every environment you can imagine. They are way solid.

Has anybody else installed these cases?

Curious about these as well. I just got my Gobi Stealth Rack installed and thinking about adding some Pelican Cargo Cases for stuff I need on most trails.

Did you need to get some kind of adapter to fit the front runner brackets onto your pioneer platform? Given that the pioneer panels run up and down while the front runner platform runs sideways, is this why your pelican box is mounted facing the front instead of the side? Am really interested in your setup. Just didn’t think it would actually work till I saw yours. Thanks.

I mounted it using the "RFMT001LG Large Roof Case Mount" from Pelican. You can mount is sideways either side, facing front or rear, or even mount two boxes side by side. I just leave the mount attached to my platform. As I have said this stuff is not cheap. But it is of very high quality.
