I miss my tool box I had on my pickup truck

Anyone think it would be a good idea to have some custom low-profile custom tool boxes made to sit on the roof? They could be made to bolt to Gobi racks, factory roof bars and even bolt directly on the roof rails.

I used to keep all of my off road gear in the truck tool box and I worry about getting out and not having some of the gear with me.

I had tools, tow chains/straps, shovel, hi-lift, etc., etc., etc....

I keep thinking a lockable low-profile roof box would be great. There are places out there that would do this. A black powder coated would fit the bill for me

There is just not a lot of storage in the H2 (worse even in my SUT)... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Up to four of these will fit in the back of an H2 SUV stacked two high:

I took out my 3rd row seat, as I figure I'll use that once or twice per year at most and can easily put it back in there. I have two of those tubs in my H2 right now. One has a bunch of emergency vehicle gear (inter alia, first aid kit; jumper cables; rope; shovel; tire-repair kit; tie-downs and bungee cord; tools; winching gear and tow straps; etc...). The other has a bunch of miscellaneous camping gear that would also be helpful if I ever got stranded. I have two other tubs (putting them in the H2 affects my rear field of view a little) loaded with most of the other gear I might need for camping, backpackign, hunting, or wheeling. Thus, I just have to load two more pre-packed interlocking tubs, throw in a few extras, and I can go hunting, camping, wheeling on about 1-2 hours notice.
