    Is there another way to mount these bad boys to the roof rack without drilling and running the mounting screws through? I was hoping to not drill holes in case I want to use it as a regular case.

    You could use some eye-nuts on your roof rack and then ratchet strap from there. Would mean you would need to unratchet strap it to open it though

    But these have been going up and down in price before this experiment started. Not as valid IMO. Short answer on the 36 is, hasn't worked yet.

    I think it has a solid chance at working, but it will require better coordination / participation to work. If we all agreed to 'save it for later' on a specific day, I think we can play the algorithms.
