    Who makes a good cargo box?

    I can tell you Yakima does not. I bought their "Carbonite " box for the Atlas, fortunately I got it at REI. The first one showed up cracked right out of the box. I got that replaced, and was pleased how light it was, but it did seem pretty flimsy. This week we had a windy day. Driving in...
