So, I searched high and low for a low profile storage solution for my roof rack. The best solution I found was the Stealth Toolbox by Gobi. However, after waiting 3 months and completely unresponsive customer service I cancelled my order.
What I ended up with was an old safe deposit box. These boxes come in a variety of sizes. The one I chose was 21"L x 10"W x 4.5"H. They are a thin gauge steel and most come with a (very wimpy) lock hasp. These boxes are not weather proof although some small things can be done to keep the water out. The one I received was green with a couple of dents off Ebay for $30 shipped.
Here's what I ended up with...
I needed to custom fabricate some brackets and drill some holes in the bottom of the box to secure it to my rack permanently. Also painted it black. We'll see how it holds up but for about $40 total investment between the box and materials I felt it was worth a go.
