luggage carrier options for 2006 honda pilot factory rack crossbars

[shortfuze]

Whats a good inexpensive solution for carrying my entire family's luggage needs on a weeklong trip we are taking in a couple of weeks. I ideally want to attach the luggage carrier to the factory roof rack bars that are on my 2006 Honda Pilot EX. I've been browsing around on the internet and am pretty blown away by the high prices of the hard plastic shell luggage boxes. I think they are out of my price range but if thats the only option i might settle for one of them.

The Thule 867 Tahoe roof bag is an excellent option for your factory rack. Attaches directly to your 06 Honda Pilot factory rack bars. This is an excellent cargo/luggage gear carrier that offers great carrying capacity, is all-weather resistant and quickly attaches & removes and folds for easy storage when not in use. The cargo capacity of this bag is larger than any other roof and most hard shell cargo boxes, providing a whopping 17 cubic feet of cargo space for luggage and cargo gear. Plenty of room for the travel gear needed for an entire family on vacation. It is a considerably less expensive option compared to the hard shell luggage boxes.
