I don't have a 4x4 but I used those plastic fold-up crates (one on each
side at the tailgate) and use an adjustable bed bar to keep them from
sliding forward.
I use one crate to hold all the tools that I need at the track. The
other holds jugs of fluids, bottles of oil, paper towels, clothes,
bungee cords (well not now ... but that's another story), etc.
Probably can get the bed bar and crates from Canadian Tire. You might
be even to colour-key the crates to match your truck.
What I not sure of is whether the plastic crates are sturdy enough for
recovery equipment.
