First, I took my rear seat out. In that area is room for a cooler and a dog bed for "buddy".
Behind that, I built a wooden box that houses about 100 pounds of tools. No exageration! There is also room for my CO2 tank, 5 quarts of oil, an oil filter, a quart of tranny fluid, power steering fluid and brake fluid.

I bought a (roughly) 10x10x30 nylon bag with hard sides that was made for a quad rack. That stores my spare axle shafts, u-joints, spare hub & other miscellaneous stuff. It is strapped onto the left wheel well and attached to my cage. On the right wheel well is a net that runs front to back and allows room for the usual food junk.

I also built (by Tab) an aluminum shelf that hangs from my cage and carries jackets, video cam and other light stuff that never has a home.

Finally, I have a rack that is over the top of my spare tire carrier that carries the chain saw and other misc. stuff. On the side of the rack are 2 pieces of black plastic tubing that are mounted vertical. An axe goes in one and a pair of loppers on the other. All of that stuff is used for brushing in Canada.

I guess that covers it.

right now I just have a bunch of heavy duty canvas zipper bags that have my crap in them because I have to keep my seat so I can install the car seat for the kid. I'm thinking about getting another bucket seat like the ones in the front of the jeep and mounting it in the back for the kid, then build a box thingy next to it for tools and stuff.

Jim has a nice setup, so does Brian.

I put a small truck box in where the rear seat goes. I got the idea from a post on quadratec's forum (http://bbb.quadratec.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=27;t=005022). Pretty much copied it because it looked like it worked well.

There is enough room behind it to fit my fuel cell.

The box can also come out so I can put in the rear seat, which is done rarely.

When I get a chance, I was thinking of making something like this

Well, you've seen my junk, and that is the latest, but not greatest. So, I have no advice for you. :D
