Each of us transports our tools differently. One in a case, another in drawers, the next in boxes, yet another in rolls or bags. The possibilities are as diverse as the overlander community itself. All variants have their advantages and disadvantages.

Especially for all those who like tool bags, I have a little DIY thing. It is nothing new, many people did it before and I think its a good solution. I have been using bags made from old used tyre tubes for my tools now for years. A friend made them for me. I used to use these bags on my motorbike, now I use them in my rig. Cheap, super-simple and nothing rattles in them when the tools sit tight in the rubber. The tools are also splash-proof and dust-proof to a certain extent.

Pick a suitable old tube in the size you need for the specific tools, cut it to the desired length, sew one side to close it, shorten the half of the other and rivet in the press studs. That's basically about it and you're done. Here are a few pictures:
