I am interested in buying Thule's Cascade 1700 cargo box. Do you guys have any opinions on this? Would really love to see a pic of it or any other cargo box on an H2. Thanks in advance.

Nice! With that on the roof, I guess parking in any parking garages is out of the question right?

It works great. I can take it off in about 2 minutes, weighs about 60 lbs. This is the biggest one I could find, looks tiny on top of the Hummer. I put it on my Grand Cherokee once, it extended past the front and back of the roof and was almost as wide. If you have a sunroof it will extend over it partway but it didn't bother me. It made absolutely no noise up there even at highway speeds. It held up to being bounced around a bit driving at the beach but it was empty at the time. It can be difficult to load, I had to stand in the second row door and on the tire a lot.

As for parking garages, I would stay away from them but where I live that is not a problem, I can't even think of where there is one near by. You do however really need to pay attention to the clearance at drive thru's, I think it's about 8' 6" with the box on.

After that Cold Sore thread, I was very hesitant about opening this one!!!!
