If you don’t find one, I could design and fabricate one for you. Like the idea, Would be a fun project to make a slim flat roof tool box to fit flush with that roof rack.
Lots of climbing tho.

I use two big old AMMO cans that held 2 120MM shells.



I got them super cheap when a local fireworks stand used to make up these big 75.00 firework packages stuffed inside them. I got 65.00 worth of fireworks & the ammo cans were nearly free!

I strap em to the rack with small ratchet straps. Zero issues. One has recovery gear like straps, shackles, and ****** blocks. Then the other one is strictly spare parts/tools. They seal up water tight & they can take a beating.

Is the link I sent the right ones? 19$ is insane compared to other storage solutions
