Default tool storage help

Anyone have a good way to store some tools in a Discovery? Right now I have them in a Bucket Boss bag. Besides that I have an air compressor in a similar bag. I'm concerned that they're loose in the back of the car. The tool bag is 60 pounds.

I need about three or four cubic feet of storage. I can't do a typical drawer system because I need the low cargo floor height.

I have my tools split between two containers. The larger tools go into a Husky brand tool bag. All the smaller stuff fits into a smaller Pelican case.

so how do you keep them from flying around in the car?

I'm thinking about getting a 1430 and seeing if I can strap or bolt it to one of the jump seat brackets. I have some super quick fists but not sure I'd use them there. Ideally the case top would open while still secured.

I really want to keep the floorspace in the loadspace so I want some tall skinny storage but nothing that blocks the windows.

I actually built a shelf. I think drawers waste too much space with the slides and you also lose all the nooks and crannies for storage. I can store all my tools, spares, and more underneath the shelf, and really don't lose any of the floor space.
