Switched out my roof box! Thule Roof Box installation, HOW TO!

- While I was visiting my Mom & Dad in CT and getting Camper the snip snip, I found a sick deal on a new roof box so I swapped mine out. A few of you were wondering how to install, so here's a fun, entertaining & quick, how to! Should only take you a couple minutes. Also, send good vibes, Camper is pissed his box fort was taken away and hasn't looked at me in 3 days. What a guy.
PS. I don't love this box or recommend it if you have a choice of roof box, closing is it not fun, and you have to make sure the front and back are completely clear or it wont lock. Which is a process in its own. Great budget box but if you have the money, pay it out.

I gotta say, you are just too much fun. Love how you love your dog, and how you are making the most out of your life of 'CHOOSING' to live full time in your Prius! You Rock!
Your positivity and energy are contagious! 👍

@@NikkiDelventhal At least it is warm there (my brother is there), but in Montana (here) it is -8.3F currently (02.13.2021(5am))
Nice wind defector.
Love the bloopers
You are hilarious and your videos are great!😄👏
Love how enjoyable you make your videos! Had me cracking up when you walked into frame with that on your head. 😂
Hahah thank you. I really want to make them fun to watch so even if you don’t need it done, you will know for the future and walk away smiling! And hopefully deep belly laughing(cause those are the BEST)!
Great video... you're a great teacher. I don't even have a roof rack, nor do i need/want one yet. But you're instructions are very clear and precise.
Big koodos to the camera person/editor, too.
Yay thank you!!!! I do everything myself. Filming on a tripod or voice over with b roll, and edit my own videos! Tho, I will recruit friends I make if they’re around heheh in this instance my mom crushed it! Was visiting for a week and she’s a natural haha. :-)
@@NikkiDelventhal amazing how she placed the shot precisely where it needs to be. GJ mom.
Your how to videos are interesting you should do a lot more of them its interesting listening to you explain all the stuff.
I love the residual cheerleader moves, kicks, and special effects. 👏🏻
Love your vids 😊 ty I'm about to go on some prius adventures cross country and your vids have been helping me prep
Nikki: I used to have similar rooftop box on my Volvo XC-90. I loved the storage box but hated my SUV :) replaced with Jeep Wrangler 75th edition. I sold my roof rack for $50, this was made by Sears. Love your videos as always.
What roof box did you have? I don't love this one it was just a sick deal - both the ones I had of this continually get stuck and don't lock! CRAZY!
@@NikkiDelventhal I had one made by Sears and sold it for $50 only four years ago when I bought my Jeep Wrangler. Mine worked like a charm, I do have the picture of this rack installed on my Volvo. I can also forward you the photo. BlackBranch at att.net

strong healthy robust lady gettin out an enjoying the world so cool !
U are a good teacher.. I think your DIY are good ..
Nice to see you're back again!
Nikki now 36 lbs that’s impressive. TFS blessings from California 💕❤️💕🙋♀️
Thank you for the video, I’m literally about to purchase a similar roof box so this came in very handy.
Just got my racks today. Waiting on a key in the mail for my found Thule box. Key west here I come.
Thank you!!! I needed this info. Great video!
"Shirt on backwards all day." Been there and done that. Your very real, and Camper reflects that. Please be safe Nikki.
And that is when I knew you were awesome...Ok, really it was the president's trail... Ok, really it was the first video (all about Nikki)
Forcing me to binge watch...nearly out......h e l p meeeee. More videos :-)
Great video, thank you and have a great day
That’s awesome!!! We definitely need one of those!
love seeing your videos
Just keep posting... More everything that you do and feel.
Great wheel kick!
Very informative! Superb teacher!
Gorgeous smart fearless and capable with the courage to follow your dreams! How is someone as fabulous as Nikki single? You inspire me to get a Prius and leave the city for the wild!
TH-cam isn’t real life. We don’t really know these people. As a person who has done my fair share of traveling and alternative living, I can assure you these kind of people have many issues lol (yes, that definitely includes me)
Good video. Good thinking on the plate
I realize I'm late to this roof-rack party, but probably watched this video back when it was made also just due to following Nikki closely at the time. After years of a "no external cargo" policy on my road trips, I'm considering changing that policy. A few too many nights spent unable to fit into the bed in the car without an unreasonable amount of time repacking it when on special expeditions like the eclipse with extra equipment.
As I already have a receiver hitch on my Prius Prime, and a cheap HFT cargo carrier for it, I'm tempted to just bolt a mil-spec Hardigg or Thermodyne case on that and call it mission accomplished. Yet, rooftop Thule/Yakima/etc cargo boxes are so common, that I think they help retain stealth better than some oddball solution of my own. Enough people keep the Thule box on their car 24/365 that having one on, doesn't mean you are living in the car, on a camping trip, have anything desirable in it, or anything else in particular. It is the most anonymous and least attention-grabbing way to carry extra cargo, in my case to make sure I don't have to store stuff on my bed in the day or in the front seats at night when traveling.
Those crank-down bar grabbers sure work easily, but they intrude into the box interior volume very badly. The first thing I'd do is get rid of them and fasten the box down in a way that keeps the whole box bottom flat.
So I guess campers voice hasn't changed since getting fixed. 😁😃😆😅🤣😂😉 Campers looking good. Glad he is doing well.
Hahahahaha!
I'd love to meet you on the diving board on top of half dome for a picnic! I love your adventurous spirit! Keep chasing your freedom
Half dome for a picnic! Epic!
Awesome video
Nice back side view! 😂☘️
I’m going to start a channel about living, working and traveling in my Toyota RAV4. I found your channel during my research. I love your channel! Thanks for sharing :)
Great! Best of luck! Thanks so much!
Wow Saw some pretty good shots already 😎
Can’t believe I’m the first one this time LOL, love your videos and love camper
HAH! Thank you, AJ! You rock!
PRO TIP: Thule carriers might be different, but I was surprised to read in my manual (forget the brand, I too got a great deal second hand) they do NOT recommend using it empty!
I guess it’s kinda flimsy and needs weight for rigidity.
@@NikkiDelventhal You’re welcome
@@MrTh3B0b maybe they need volume to make it more rigid, not necessarily weight. It's like sitting on a cardboard box that's empty vs has something in it. You shouldn't sit on either one, but the one that's full will likely survive the weight put on top of it?
@@fradee2830 basically what I meant
Knockout gorgeous. I mean your attitude.
If you come back to Utah I can teach you to alpine ski, cross country ski, and snow board. Snowshoeing is easy you’ll naturally do it!
Nice box! 👌
I have always wonder about this...thanx a bunch😁...
Still got the cheerleader moves! All grace, no grunt 😁. ❤🐶
HAHA! Love it.
love it.... thank you
Super helpful...just ordere a kit with the soft box for my Prius V...was worried it wouldn't work...but after seeing this...I shouldn't have any issues
You are awesome and very entertaining. Say Hi to Camper ❤️👍
I was born New London, CT. Fond memories of family life.
Great vid thank you
Love those quads .😅😅😅
Awesome!! Yeah I'm sure having that storage option is super nice, I'll be getting one for my Jeep soon I'm sure. Great vid 👍
Soooo nice! The first 10 or so months without it made morning and night routines so much slower lol!
Pretty!
HAAH - the reg number "blur" cracked me up :D Good Job overall! :)
Thanks! Hahah
More storage woo hooo!!
It looks sharp.
Mmmm squats. Such good exercise. I was thinking of getting a roof tent and using the back seats storage for an event shelter . I only have a yaris so every mm makes a difference.
How does it feel to drive your Prius with and without? Like, on the highway especially, does it limit your control at all?
Hi Nikki,
Thanks for sharing these helpful tips .
Say hi to Camper for me,
Both have a great day
My word nimble and strong plus stunning to boot
Great Balance! Your Beautiful Strong Woman!
Love your videos!! They were super helpful in preparing for my two cross country drives in my 2004 prius from east to west coast and back! I’m now thinking of doing another even longer cross country road trip so definitely interested in adding a Thule box. Which model is this (I know you said you don’t like it but I’m still curious to know)?
I am not a dog person. Would never own another but, that is one cute dog. He has a good personality too.
🥰
Human nature is to fill whatever space you have!
I think maybe this behavior is called "home making".
Very smart lady.
Make a patreon account, that'll help your funding..
She has one
@Gordy N/A hope she never do that
Now you live in a full blown sprinter and aponcered to do so... Heckin props yo....
Always wondered how these things work.
YASSSS. love it sister, We are twinning prius pals for sure!! this is great :)
Yayyyy! ❤️
One thing you might want to check on, I know that it is this way in newer boxes, that the clamp tensioners are properly tightened. They have click kind of like a childproof medicine cap when they are tightened enough. I carry a ton of stuff in my box and like knowing that it is properly secured.
This one I don’t think has that but I’ve heard that in others tho, great suggestion - I had to go “upstairs” and check hahaha! The cross bars click tho when tightened fully.
@@NikkiDelventhal great! Love all my Thule gear, they are good people, located in CT! Safe travels. IG:MDewOD
Love the dog
Me too!
I've got the longest Thule on my Dodge Caravan, love it, more room for my large Doberman, I'm 230 ,shes 80plus, we wouldn't work to well in a Prius
Them squats just got you a few Subs
Shower video was the reason I subscribed but, my favorite video is her Presidential mountain climb. Amazing
Facking simps...

@@dancemonkeydance538 Because nature.
Nice
You are super cute.... I'm glade I found your channel I love your puppy Camper
Nikki you're too funny. But what a great yard sale find !!!
You should look into the habitent for the back of your prius.
Thank you.

Wow you got that large one for a good price! I bought a used large Thule box on Facebook marketplace for $400
Can’t beat 250 🤙🏻 excellent find!
Thank you! After years of bargain shopping and training under the queen of bargain hunting (my mother), I think was one of my better finds hah!
Good exercise.
