I have a CVT tent I mount to my Gobi rack for my JKU. I'm looking to add a small cargo box/bag in the area above the front seat. Are there any wide and short cargo boxes out there? The best I have found is the Thule Interstate http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/produ...ets/cargo-bags/thule-interstate-869-_-1683516 or Outbound http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/produ...skets/cargo-bags/thule-outbound-868-_-1683515 but those are soft (and I haven't measured yet to see). What are you using to take advantage of that extra space in the front that would protect gear from the elements?

It hasn't been all that noticeable to me on the freeway, but I usually have the radio on around 16-20 (volume level on stock stereo). I think I've also gotten so used to the constant din of wind noise from the Gobi, snorkel, and fishing rod tube that am able tune it out. I'll have to ask my wife if she notices a difference.
If you do go the Plano route, be aware that they are weather-resistant, not waterproof. I haven't had any issues thus far, but I do make sure to put anything I am concerned about getting wet in a waterproof stuff bag inside them.

I had the same setup with a Gobi Rack and roof top tent on my JKU. I found what worked best for size, weight, amount of space and weatherproofing were the SKB Cases. I have 2 of them and love the ease of use. Here is a link to the size I went with but they come in all sizes... http://www.skbcases.com/industrial/products/prod-detail.php?d=s17&id=723&s=s#.VIM1D4vIz6g
