You can always get a former military Pelican(Hardigg), ECS Loadmaster, or Zero. These are all made in the USA and are built to higher specs than the civilian cases.
A few things.... first I need to start by thanking you for your service to our country..... me and you are total strangers and before I found your channel (yesterday 10/15/21) I had no idea who you even were but I’m honestly and truly very grateful and thankful for your service 🙏🏼🇺🇸 your channel was recommend on my homepage... it was your molle truck bed video...

The one thing I find in most boxes/cases is that they are deep and that lends to stacking things on top of each other. I use a surplus aluminum medical chest. It’s durable and air tight, just shy of 12” deep. It’s not perfect but it’s about half the price.
Thank you for this video

I put a $12 kayak bungee kit from Amazon in the lid of my pelican. You can configure it any way you like. It's almost like it was made for it.
you can definitely mount the roam in your truck bed if you have a bed front molle like I do. Drill 2 holes on the back of the case and get you a u bolt. bolt it onto your molle (with the nuts on the inside of the case for security).
This is the first video of yours I've seen. I have to say mate, I like your bar setup ... !!! ... I think Pelican is the go to case, even though they're expensive. Here in the UK, you can't get all the models, only some. So when I make my trips to the US, I'll sometimes get the big ones to bring back with me. Shipping empty cases is hard to do as you're just shipping air.
I use a Husky large tool container in the truck for solar battery, tow, battery cables. Not as cool but weatherproof and has wheels for $80.
Enjoying your content mate 🇬🇧

👍 for the algorithm. Roto-molded means its hollow inside = not very strong, but light and semi-flexible. Consider looking at Milwaukee Packout toolboxes, they are built from composite resin, are waterproof, have die cut Kiazen foam inserts available, have a couple of nice mounting options, have a couple rolling versions, they interconnect, come in multiple sizes, Less expensive than any of the boxes in the video, and are available in your favorite color (as long as your favorite color is red).

You can fill those with insulation foam (like Good Stuff brand) too. A couple small holes, pump it in and your good. Makes for a good cooler.

Great video! Was looking at the roam rugged cases as they’re a “decent” case but wasn’t fully impressed by the quality. The pelican in the size I want from local dealers (Canada) are between 20% to 30% higher price compared to similar size roam but as I’m not selling my truck anytime soon, the increased price isn’t as much of a problem for me. Actually disappointed in yt as your channel is in my wheelhouse and should have been suggested. Great video! Liked and subscribed!!!
Thanks for your service from Canada ✌️🇨🇦🇨🇦✌️👍

I went with the 125BX and the Tacoma brackets. I have the Retrax MX Pro so I’m gonna stuff this box just in front of the box that holds the reel for the Retrax. That way I don’t have to worry about shit banging into the Retrax box and I’ve got a space in the bed that’s 100% truly waterproof. The Retrax is pretty good but not waterproof…I wouldn’t put a pistol in a bag back there for instance. For over the cab on the rack I’m prob gonna go Roam because they have (although the price is breathtaking) the very best quick attach/detach system around.
I would suggest looking into the modular tool boxes like Milwaukee DeWalt and rigid. Supposedly they're made by keter
Have you considered the Milwaukee packout boxes? They are pretty durable and your pretty much able to mount them anywhere with the attachements that they sell.
I have heard good things about ROAM boxes, especially they have like a 80 something liter that’s real low profile and flat for roof racks and stuff, so it will be interesting to see how it does because I had contemplated getting one next time I need another, I currently use a really nice Hardig case.

I have two of the ROAM 83L on my roof rack. They are great but I live where the summers get well above the upper 90°f and 100°+f. The lids warp in that kind of heat. ROAM replaced the boxes but they are not going to hold up after this summer. It's a nice box if you don't live where the summers aren't hot.
Be nice if they had a high vis interior so you can find your stuff in low light
Love my Roam box..gas struts/organizer are worth ever penny, and the box is a tank.
Semper Fi!!
Not hating on roam but after buying it and feeling it in hand, it does feel cheap for the price. Also, the box looks big but inside is too small for my liking. Had to return it for the pelican, which was a better decision
Marine X - Semper Fi!!! But why would anyone spend so much money to put their peanut butter and jelly sandwich in. I have that storage under my seats in my R1T. I thought this was a review of 105L case to go on my vehicle. Again, Semper Fi!
FYI... In March ROAM will release a quick detach mount for the roam 82 and 95... Pre order now 😂
Left outside long enough, ROAM's lid will warp.
Harbor freight apache ftw lol Not on the same line as roam but no lie they make a decent rifle/pistol case. As far as trunks and stuff go the cheap plano's have been ok. I need some of that high $$ roam stuff. Great video as per usual

Which one is made in America? I'll buy that one.
what about Ironman4x4 cases?
I like my roam and it sits on my roof rack
FYI... You said pelican cargo case was made in the USA ...From the pelican website, it says they are designed in the USA and made in China
Enjoyed watching this comparison. Interesting to hear that the Roam felt cheaper then the others. Couple of gripes: you said the word accessory about 20 times so I have to say this - it’s pronounced AK-SESS-ORY. First C is hard. Are you sure that Roam cases are made in the USA? I doubt it because they are extremely shy on their website about country of origin. Almost without exception, made in the USA is a big selling point and is splashed around liberally. Overall this was a helpful guide. Keep up the good work 🍻
I have the BX50 nice case just not 50L is only 34.5 liters. Pelican list it volume in ft3 and the BX50 has 1.22ft3 = 34.5L

Just to be clear. ROAM does not make any of their products in the United States. They are all made in China. I believe the YETI case and Pelican cases are American made but I do know that Pelican does source some of their products from overseas.

Non of them are really that great! You loose too much space between the boxes when packing them side by side!
There's a lot of feelings, seeming & assumptions here. Are they actually waterproof or not? Not what the company says. If tour going to review something, then Test it.
