I ended up getting a bog rubbermaid container to put my red tool box in the breaker bar oil radiator fluid all my needs and strapped it into the back of my jeeps cargo area

so i think i got an idea for bolting things down. going through the floor board... a large bolt going down, with a large washer (huge like 2" around) and coming up from the bottom will be another "huge" washer with a large nut. it is not the best you can do but it seems like it will work quite well if you do it right.
