Here is my setup. Pretty standard storage box, but it definitely does its job and comes in handy!

Sweet set up man

Where can I get that mount that's holding up your fire extinguisher?
 
awesome, gonna order me one right now.

Thanks buddy

No problem! If you are going to use it to secure a fire extinguisher you will probably need 2 straps like I have in my setup. I started out with just 1 strap, which help the weight just fine, but eventually the vibrations from driving caused the extinguisher to slip out. So, I ordered another one and supported the extinguisher with 2 and it completely solved the problem.
 
So here's my official truck layout lol.. I keep a big crate in the back filled with tools, parts, engine, diff, brake, etc etc fluids, few tow straps, tie downs, d-rings, bungees, and maybe a few other things. I keep a med kit and other personal needs items in the pocket on the side. All that and no full size spare, I really need one. I'd like to make a corgo box with sleeping platform eventually. Just not enough time in the day.

Thanks a lot guys and keep them coming. It seems a low profile draw system is the way to, but is there any noise that can be heard from the draws bouncing around on the trail or even the road? All you guys have given me ideas, and im glad a few other members found a few ideas. Hopefully I will be able to add my layout pretty soon.
 
As promised here are some specs for the cargo storage drawers that I built:

BOX: 38" wide (side to side) X 39.5" deep (front to back) X 7.5" tall. The top and bottom the the box is made of 3/4" plywood and the sides and back are made of 2X6's.

DRAWERS: 17" wide X 39" deep X 4" tall. The bottoms of the drawers are made of the same 3/4" plywood. The sides of the drawers are made of 2X4's. The back and front of the drawers are made of 2X6's cut down about an inch to 2X5's so the drawers fit in the box. Finally I put a piece of 3/4" plywood on the front of the drawers to make the install look clearer.

As far a rattling around on the trail, it was an issue at first, but I added some fasteners and used the factory tie down loops to keep the box from moving around. I don't have any pics of the fasteners but I will take some and post them when I get home.

Fridge swallowed up most of the back end of my truck. The tow/recovery bag, and tool box aren't pictured here, but currently just get strapped around the drivers side wheel well. I need to work on a new design to get everything more organized, and keep the fridge from getting even more beat up.
