Pelican Cargo Case - RFMT2 Roof Mount Kit (Compatible with Cases BX140R BX55S BX85S BX90R)

Let's be clear: the Pelican Cargo Case Bracket does exactly what it's supposed to do. It grips my Pelican case like a bulldog on a bone, securing it to my vehicle's roof rack with unwavering tenacity. I've taken it through bumpy trails, high winds, and torrential downpours, and my precious cargo has remained safe and sound. In that respect, it's a five-star product. It's built like a tank, with thick, powder-coated metal and robust hardware. You can tell it's designed to withstand serious abuse.However, and this is a big however, the price of this bracket set is, frankly, insulting. It's highway robbery. I understand Pelican makes high-quality gear, and I'm willing to pay a premium for that. But the cost of these brackets is disproportionate to what you're actually getting. We're talking about a few pieces of shaped metal and some bolts. While the design is certainly functional, it's not exactly rocket science. I can't help but feel like I'm paying a massive "Pelican Tax" simply for the name.There are other cargo case mounting solutions on the market, many of which are significantly cheaper. I opted for the Pelican brackets because I wanted the peace of mind knowing my expensive Pelican case was absolutely secure. And, I have to admit, the integrated look is appealing. But the nagging feeling that I overpaid persists.If you're on a tight budget, I'd strongly suggest exploring alternatives. You might find a perfectly adequate solution for a fraction of the cost. If, however, you're flush with cash and demand the absolute best (and are willing to pay a king's ransom for it), then the Pelican Cargo Case Bracket will do the job admirably. Just be prepared to wince when you see the price tag. It's a fantastic product that's tragically overpriced. It's a testament to the fact that sometimes, the best things in life come with an absurdly inflated price.

unless in my case

-1 star only for missing parts!Ordered 2, had them past the return date, went to install to find one missing brackets ... had to order a 3rd. For the price ... costly mistake!

Make sure to have some flat steel, drills and taps available. I do not trust the fasteners that come with it: the holes were pre drilled too big/or the tapping was not correctly done. Screws end up not straight and the thread is not biting enough. The quixk release pin is also mediocre: ball not functioning and not holding the pin in the bracket. I used to trust Pelican's. I am a bit disappointed this time.

The price is ridiculously high , how do you pay almost 300$ for a mount when you already paying 300$ for the actual cargo box smh that’s just crazy

So first off, I LOVE the cases, but I HATE the price for these mounts! Price gouging at it's finest. These should be $80 max, but if you have the cases, there is no aftermarket alternative to mount them with (at least not that I found).Just feel ripped off, but is what it is.
