I know there has been a few post about what to have in your vehicle when going on trips or off roading. But, does anyone have some pics or ideas of what they have for storage in the rear? I am looking to do something in the back since I have my rear seat out. I would like to make or buy something that is removable so that I can put my seat back in if needed.

I bought a heavy duty storage chest that’s usually meant for trailers or RV’s. I initially bolted it to the rear seat mounts on the floor so it can’t be yanked out. It locks too which is a good deterrent. So far so good. I may have some pics.
I have one of the aforementioned Smittybuilt Vaults in my TJ. I got lucky and found a used one for $100 off of CL.
I also used a couple 2x3's on edge and painted black to lift my vault up to tonneu cover height. I now have a cover I can stand on, with 3 inches of space under the vault for slip in storage.

Thanks everyone for the ideas!
I think I may try something like this... https://www.wranglerforum.com/f282/tj-rear-storage-solution-241456.html

I built my own storage box that I can take down quickly and put back together just as quickly. Here's the link to my build on it - starts on post 4

I went back and forth about what to do for secure storage in the back. I took the seat out when I first got the Jeep and never looked back. I wanted versatility so a permanent mounted item was out. I found this security job box in the scratch and dent isle at Lowes for $100. I chain it to the seat bracket. It isn't going anywhere. I can carry just about anything and have never had to remove it. I just pile my camping gear around and on top of it.

i been lookin for a 1/2 sheet of 7ga. or 1/4" aluminum. i'd like to cap the whole rear from seats to gate, rim to rim. notch it around the rear roll bars so it'll tilt up with couple cheap struts. could rest on the tub side rims and not interfere with MY softop. material is stout enough to support a lock or latches.
I used a draw system from FrontRunner.. worked a treat..
The fotos was taken during the fitting of it, but you got the idea

I've got the Tuffy security enclosure in the back of my TJ:

The lid is load-bearing and can support 200 pounds, so I mounted my factory spare tire carrier directly to it:

For added weather resistance, I cut a hole in a duster and install it when the top is off:

This has worked very well for me. My 35" spare clears the seat backs as well as the rear soft window when it is installed during winter. Nice.
