Good question.
Could you mount the Thule Rod Vault 4 Rooftop Fly Rod Carrier - Locking - 4 Fly Rods # TH87YV underneath the crossbars? It is possible but this mounting style is not its designed use and not recommended.
The thickest part of the unit is 8 inches tall and the mounting legs are going to probably push it into the vehicle roof or body. So I think you could definitely slide it under your rails but you will need at least an 8 inch gap to be able to mount it between your rails and your vehicle.
