Cool thanks. I dont like to start crap.
I took the rear plastic panals out and bolted 2 inch angle to both sides. Then bolted 5/8 plywood to those. I will be running 1 inch angle on the front and back tomorrow. The big box is bolted down in all 4 corners. The stainless air tank is not bolted in yet but thats for my onboard air( soon to come). The spare tire, high lift, and cooler can come on quickly to still be able to sleep in the back. Spare axel shafts and drive shafts are under the rear seat. Its not the greatest but i think it may work will have to see when i take it to evans creek in a couple weekends.

I like the big metal box in the back. I was thinking about something like that in the future. Something along the lines of those metal gang boxes they sell for contractors. That way I could put all my bigger stiff in it and keep it together without it flying around the jeep. The only thing I thought might be a problem is it cant really open all the way due to limited height. Kinda like that one. So I was thinking about putting in a longer lower one like the ones they make for the back of pickups and maybe a false floor with some roll out drawers. I am not sure yet.

The box in the back of mine is just wood but it is held together on the corners with metal. I know it use to be my grandpa's and i think it was from when he was in the army. And i have it offcenter to the left that way it cuts down on the blind spot in the back right corner

For a bolting option you could use the tie down shackles already in the floor and use a bolt and large washer. I have seen it on some else's and I am thinking about going that route once I decide what I really want to do
