Re: External cargo storage question...
NOVA FJ,
I don't know if this helps any, but I was in the same boat as you regarding storage. (I have a roof top tent, so my roof rack storage is gone.)
Prior to our 9300 mile trip through the great north, I was planning on having a rear bumper to carry my extra fuel, hi-lift, etc.
Well, long story short, the bumper never materialized and I had to go with my back-up plan of using a stow-away swing out carrier.
The carrier held my extra gear I did not want in the vehicle. It performed well, but I did lose quite a bit of departure angle.
The carrier was watertight and dust tight, plus it locked so I did not have to worry about theft.
It also took a beating and pounding that I was impressed with, since the information for it says it is not built for offroad use.
I went with the swing-away model so I can open the rear door and access my stuff in the cargo area.
I had no problems with the exhaust melting anything.
If you want more info, let me know.
