Hey Scott, welcome back! Tthe Thule Motion 3 cargo box part # TH59PN is a really great larger roof cargo box that will work great on your 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon. This has 21 cubic feet of storage space which is a bit on the larger side but if that's what you need it's perfect. Only reason I'd go smaller is if you just didn't need that much space. What are you planning on putting in the box?
Then for a roof rack the Thule Wingbar Evo part # TH54ZA is a really great option that I recommend. It's easy to install, higher quality, and quieter due to the bar shape.
