Flying Boxcar just right for Weeklong Overland 4x4 Trip in New Zeland


Flying Boxcar just right for Weeklong Overland 4x4 Trip in New Zeland
This Bags End Handles Ease Handling

G'Day. Our Flying Boxcar did a tiki tour overland for a week in Kiwi-land and handled it with out a whinge. Just ask Marcus.

Hi Jim,
Here is a photo of my Flying Boxcar on a recent trip around the NZ south island. Feel free to post on the website with credit!

As you can see, it faithfully carried a week's worth of clothing and junk Around in my 4x4, including this trip up to Mt John in the McKenzie Basin.

A week is the max load for me in this bag traveling in this way if I leave room for comfort - I need to get something about twice as big for longer trips I reckon!

As always the bag performed flawlessly and the end handles are so useful for lugging in and out of the truck. It even spent a couple of days up on the roof rack (in a waterproof case) when space got tight and there was no issue with that.

A great piece of kit!

Kind regards,

Marcus

P.S. My only feedback is that it would be nice if there was a way to lock the zips on trips to less reliable destinations than NZ!

Good on yah, mate! We've tested out our Flying Boxcar down in Colorado for the National Land Rover Rally and we agree, those grab handles are a sweet addition. Oh and by the way, through popular demand, our Luggage Cable Locks are now available. And that's a really great shot of Aotearoa Marcus. For honoring us with his lovely image and adventure journal submittal, Marcus gets his choice of Rigger Wallet or Market Tote. When will we hear about about YOUR adventure?
