The UWS Chest part # UWS01022 is designed to be used in a cargo carrier outside in the elements. The extra-thick aluminum construction is rust resistant. UWS builds their boxes from sheets of 0.058" thick aluminum. Then they weld the seams for moisture and rain protection. You will also not see very much fading or sun damage with the aluminum material.
The UWS Chest measures 48" long x 20" wide x 20" deep so as long as your cargo rack is big enough this box will work well for your application.
