This has worked out well for me, and I just got my Smittybilt tailgate setup today. I am going to put stuff I worry about exposing to weather or sneak thieves on the tailgate hanger since it is secured under my Tuffy deck.
Right now I am hanging my CamelBak on the passenger seat since the older milspec case for it only has molle webbing on the front and it would be a pain to refill. I want to find a better way to hang it, preferably on the molle.

Yeah the camel back takes up a lot of your molle space, there's gotta be an easy way to mount it. I'll take a look at all my equipment and see what I can find. If I figure somethin out I'll let ya know. Or if you figure somethin out let me know lol

Final setup... attached the Camelbak
The Camelbak is attached in two spots by bungie cord that came on some Maxpedition bags. I also looped the drag handle over a RolyPoly for additional support.
Also got my Smittybilt tailgate setup in the mail the other day. Now it carries first aid supplies (left) and recovery gear (right). It fits perfectly under the Tuffy deck and is secure...

Quick Quesitons
This mod is freakin' AWESOME!!! Thanks for the write up. Couple of quick questions:
Thanks for the insight and again...GREAT write up!!
- First Aid bag - what are the basics that you are carrying in it and do you have anything specific or unique you like to carry (e.g. splints, air casts, meds)?
- Smittybuilt on the rear gate - how is that attached (looks like snaps)? Quick/painless install?
- Smittybuilt on the rear gate - How much? Does it come in other colors? (just realized that this question made me sound like such a chick!!)
Thanks for the insight and again...GREAT write up!!

Preacher, I finally got around to seeing my version through. Went from scratch. I liked your idea of quick detach, so I kept the straps long enough to double as an uncomfortable backpack if need be.
