Thought I would start off showing the storage system I built, As it is the single biggest project (in time) I've done on the wagon.
I looked at buying an 'off the shelf ' storage, but none were what I really wanted. I could never understand why they put the fridge on top of the draws, for an example. The missus and I are not vertically challenged, and the wagon has only a 2" lift, sitting on 32's, but I wouldn't want the fridge any higher.
I decided to carry a second spare on my last trip, so I built the case with more structural integrity than I would have otherwise. I.e. 36x10mm bolts were used on brackets, including brackets on the sides joining to the steel second skin. These brackets also double as supports for the side pocket lids. The anchor points are rated 500gk.
