Default Strapping Luggage Down - JKU

I have a 4 door JK and tend to carry round my camp chairs, flat packing bbq, shovel and tool bag with necessities (you never know when you may venture off onto trail! or veer off the highway and into the desert!!)

I currently just have some bungees to strap the gear to the back of the back seats. I will take a picture shortly and post in here.

However I am certain that there is a much better way to strap this gear in.

What are your solutions/suggestions or how to do this?

Thanks

I use cam straps as they are much more solid. I also have a piece of plywood in the back that is secured down to the floor and it has tie downs on it.

All are from Springtail Solutions Molle storage panels.
Left side I modded by welding in a steel battery tray for the Hawker battery.
I also bolted in a Kidde fire extinguisher mount for my 10gal CO2 tank, these mounts IMO are superior to any other mount for tanks.
Right side has a recessed pan which has my 2.5 gal Scepter water tank
I bolted in a old style GI 5gal fuel carrier base for my Scepter 5gal tank.
ARB is straped to JK hold down's.

I just finished building my shelf to provide a flat floor out of 1/4" 6061 T6, Tig welded to 1/2" stand offs that are bolted into JK seat floor nuts. Need to find some rubber backed carpet to match

Note: I have since sold the 2ea steel 5gal Wavian gas tanks.... pure crap. I'm looking for 2 more Scepter's.
