I have for sale the Wedge shaped Aluminium Roof Storage Box I purchased from N&J aluminium earlier this year
it is slightly shorter than this one shown on their website

Another company makes slightly cheaper verisons - but these are not 3mm thick aluminium for the whole box, just the lid.
and are not much cheaper once you add 2x gas struts and full hinge which the N&J box has as standard

Some photos
it measures
1250mm wide
700mm front to back
150mm front height and 300mm rear height
it has gas struts, a full length hinge at front and 2x locks
4x holes drilled in base for fitting on roofbars
and 4x holes for fitting underslung spot lights, which can be plugged.
It was a usefull storage space during our France trip,
holding the bike trailer we towed our puppy in
2x waffleboards
awning side panels, biking rucksacs, shoes and helmets and electrical hookup cables.
However my wife has always disliked it, due to shape conflicting with the shape of the Magg hardtop tent
I have come round to this now, these boxes look much better in front of a oblong shaped fold-out RTT.
Like the picture Chris took of the similar box he fitted on his 80 series

I paid £420 for it in August and shipping was £48
Selling it for £300 plus shipping
