Forgot to update this with a pic.

Ended up cheaping out on an Amazon setup but actually really pleased with both the quality and the look. 

I bought a shallow waterproof box which only needed to be tall enough to take some towels/hiking boots and fold up chairs. Drilled the bottom and used some U-bolts to affix it with rubber washers and used heat shrink over the U sections to blend in and offer a bit of protection.

It's not easily removable but I'll leave it unlocked and empty when parked.

Hi. Thanks for posting this. Can you please tell me where you got the iroko wood you used. I'm needing to remove my rack to reduce weight but need 3 of these to achieve what I need.
