baboon's Review of Pelican Storm Cases Custom Rifle Cases (No Foam) with FieldPak Soft-Sided Bags - Black
I suppose this is designed to carry a couple of military assault rifles, but we are using it as a low-profile roof cargo box for a car. The common Thule/Yakima boxes use very thin plastic and are way too tall for the look we want on our Mini. We looked around for various things we could misuse, like truck bed boxes, and eventually settled on this. I drilled four holes (sorry) and attached it with two U bolts and four butterfly nuts. It doesn't have a vast amount of space, but it still looks cool while giving us some semi-secure out-of-sight storage. We bought the FieldPak so that we could pack up indoors and just drop it in when we drive away. We're thinking of getting another for the other side of the roof rack (disclaimer: I'll get 7% off for writing this review).
The holes for attaching padlocks look pretty vulnerable. I believe someone could just cut them with a decent pair of wire cutters or a coping saw. Maybe I'll glue in some metal washers as a deterrent.
