    What is the point?

    Is to to be like "I have a rifle in here. Come steal it passerby. There is no padlock."

    or "I need to figure out how to make my loud roof rack make even more wind noise and reduce fuel economy/aerodynamics; let's add some large tall plastic containers"?

    Because it looks good on IG.

    Or because more storage is needed.

    What do I know, I don’t have a roof rack or plano boxes.

    Are we taking this seriously? To get at stuff without having to dig for it. Usually recovery gear. That and because it’s a great place for stickers.

    Great place to put recovery gear and tools with how small the interior of the cabs are. Especially when you have a wife and 2 kids that come wheeling with you.

    damn I must need more recovery gear
    the couple things I have fit under the back seats
    maybe a 1/2" electric impact to remove wheels goes up there for when the breaker bar is too hard to turn with the old bicep and I need to do a quick tire rotation on the trail
