I had a roof box fitted when the Jim was bought. It's even a quality one (found it online for about 700 EUR), was quite surprised. It fits on two roof bars across the factory rails and locks in place with a small "special" key, so it can't be stolen.
Quite a bit noisy on the road, increased fuel consumption by about 1 liter/100 km and couldn't fit in most underground parkings due to the added height :laugh: took it off and removed the rear seats (which might not be an option to you; maybe only remove one seat in the back and pack lightly ?

the speed/cornering/mpg and parking arent a problem, they're all things we knew
vaxxi - what sort of size was your box? 350L?
adamatdraycott - same questions bud, any ideas what size yours is?
this wont have heavy stuff in it, we have had them in the past just not sure on the size for the Jimny
thanks for all the advice guys

I fill it with kites... like real kites, kitesurfing kites
:laugh:
Have you thought about a box mounted on a towbar rack? Not actually towing... so none of the trouble with speed and they are actually high enough to use when on some tame greenlanes
Could be very expensive with a towbar, rack and bag

I have a high end rack from Thule... and its great for the kite buggy and bikes!
