Default how do you load your rover?

this question started while out on the trail. xb70valkarye and myself were discussing ways to keep all of the stuff we take off road from banging around the back of our rovers. i want to know how you guys and gals load your rovers.

here is mine.

not pictured is the case(12) of MREs, ratchet straps, random extra fluids for the rover, survival blankets, bolt cutters, pry bar, and etc. that i use on every trip.
the other items in the truck include my pistol, a mondo first aid kit (i am afterall an army medic...), tow straps, shakles, tool kit, and 20 gallons of shell premium unleaded.
also is my drysuit (i seem to end up in the water a LOT) an artic rated sleepingbag with bivy, goretex jacket and pants, jump-it pack with air compressor, fire extinguiser, and extra ammo.

WHAT DO YOU CARRY IN YOUR ROVER AND HOW DO YOU PACK IT?
please include pics cause im a visual kinda guy...

Sweet set-up man! that makes me want to go on an adventure! I wish mine was that exciting, but all I have is a hi-lift jack, a tool box, and a tow rope... I'm thinking about installing some hooks to wrap the tow rope on because it slides around and comes un-done which gets annoying.

I just have a cooler I strap (strap style bungee cord kept permanently to the back of the seat) to the back of the back seat when I go out. I keep a fold up shovel and a medic kit under the driver seat at all times as well as a gallon of drinking water, coolant, and washer fluid in the cargo area at all times (I just use the jump seat seatbelt to keep those secure) That is pretty much it, as I have not taken an excursion for more than just a day yet.

what is a scepter can? the fuel cans i have strapped down? those are kinda easy to acquire.
and this is the stuff that lives in my truck every day. when im packing for a big trip it involves 2 military duffels on the roof - but then im military so overpacking and over planning are kinda expected...
