The best mounting position for Roam's 95L Rugged case on the Front Runner's EXTREME SLIMLINE II ROOF RACK KIT that's attached to a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I position Roam's 95L Rugged case between an iKamper Mini 2.0 roof-top-tent and four stacked Max Traxs. For several years now this combination has worked very well for me.
There were several key factors in my decision-making process as to where to mount the rugged case; weight distribution, aerodynamics, and accessibility to gear. By a stroke of luck the height of the rugged case is lower than the iKamper's (Roof Top Tent) shell-top, and as a result, the RTT redirects air up-and-over the case and four stacked Max traxs. This is great on my gas mileage. Additionally, the weight distribution on a Jeep's roof is a huge safety consideration when traveling both on and off-road. For weight balancing across the Jeep's frame generally you want weight evenly distributed across the center axis of the Jeep. Therefore, I located the case in the center of the Jeep's frame and angled the case from side-to-side. With the case positioned in this location, I can safely load recovery gear inside the rugged case and know my Jeep will be well balanced.
