How do you secure your toolbox in your trunk?

I usually put my tool box behind my passenger seat since it fits perfect. When it's in the trunk it's between wheel wells and wedged in with other stuff.

I put some nylon u-bolts through the trunk wall to the passenger compartment. Nylon nuts on both sides of the wall. Did it back in the 80's during a gas shortage and had a heavy duty plastic rv tank as an extra gas tank - doubled my fuel capacity - nylon straps through the u-bolts to secure the tank. They're painted the same color as the trunk and they look like they came with the car. I can run a horizontal bungee or strap between one set and a vertical through the other. They stick about an inch into the trunk so there's no lost space.

Well I use these wide-based wedge bookend things - not sure what they're called - got a bunch a while ago. But they velcro down to my trunk carpet, and you can place them anywhere, in whatever direction, to keep things where you want. They hold everything in place. Neat stuff - use 'em in all my vehicles. BTW, they can take a whole lotta Gs ;-)

I got two motorcycle 'tank nets' used for strapping things

to your bike, wired them together in the middle, and screwed them

to the floor just in front of the tank/spare bar in the gap in the

floor panels.

Then I hooked the top 2 hooks on the rear shock mounts.

Effectively, it makes a small 'truck net' that keeps stuff against the

front firewall. Holds a lot, too, pretty well, including M20 heads when

I forget they're back there and go driving like a stupid hooligan.

Ought to take a picture sometime, 'cause it was easy and works really well.
