Look How Much Water These Overlanding Cases Resist... 💦 ( Front Runner )

I run a simple 60 second water test to see if the Front Runner Wolf Pack Pro cases are able to resist water. My case has leaked bad since day one. I got a second case and it leaks as well. My last option was to purchase a replacement gasket. Upon receiving my order I noticed the new gasket looked different from the old one. With high hopes I thought this would solve my water issue. The results of the water test proved otherwise. These cases are great as long as you don't use them out in the elements or dry them out after every single rain session.

Bought 2 things from front runner and gave 2 warranty claims. Got a few kind emails back stating they were working on my claim and then ghosted.
That was a year ago.

[@DavidWaldrip]

That’s a bummer. I had to get two things addressed and they did a satisfactory job getting me squared away.
The rack and all accessory I purchased have traveled 10,000 miles plus with zero issues.

WARNING to anyone who is considering buying anything from Frontrunner. I recently bought the Slimline II roof rack from Frontrunner for my ikamper tent. Turns out that this roof rack is not compatible with the ikamper unless you buy additional parts from Frontrunner which cost hundreds of dollars. Trying to return their product has been a nightmare. Their website claims “30 days money back guarantee” but what they don’t tell is that you will be charged shipping both ways and a 20% restocking fee. By just assembling the roofrack it was considered "used". My fault for not looking at the fine print of their return policy before I bought and just believing their "money back guarantee." Will never buy anything from this company again and advise anyone considering buying from them to carefully review their return policy prior to purchasing. Hoping to save someone else the trouble of dealing with them.

Thanks for this video. I almost bought 2

Happy it helped

I'm disappointed they leak, but what else is there in that size that doesn't leak? I'm honestly asking. I was going to buy 4 of the wolf pack pro's, but I live in the PNW and rain/water is an issue. I'm having a heck of a time finding something in that size that doesn't leak.

[@DavidWaldrip]

Front Runner doesn’t claim that they are waterproof only water resistant. It’s very frustrating. Consider this option

There is a transit carry bag for these boxes that are waterproof.

[@TheOneMonk]

Water proof: Peli cases. Pricey, but I wouldn‘t put my expensive cameras and lenses into anything else.

[@TheOneMonk]

Thanks, nearly bought them but obviously not really ‚Pro‘.

[@DavidWaldrip]

Unfortunately they are not. Seem to keep out about 98.5% of water

[@whodoesnt271]

I'm looking for these contents because mine leaks, and it looks like i'm not the only one.

[@MrJblazejr]

Front runner is junk. Same shit quality and shit customer service as roofnest.

[@DavidWaldrip]

They aren’t junk. My roof rack from them is super high quality. The attachments they are offer are amazing.
However the cases do leave water 💧 BUT they don’t claim that they are waterproof. Only water resistant 🤠

[@TheRealLifeoutdoors]

Overpriced junk
