I've been researching & googling & trying to find out if I can & how to hook my 100 wt renogy to a separate battery as well to my pickup battery..I want to put my panel on my tool box is it possible to hook up this way?
 
solar panel --> charge controller --> "house" battery
and

truck battery / alternator  --> battery isolator --> house battery

It will work, though depending on location of the panel on the tool box could be affected by shadows from the cab or other structures.  Maybe park facing north?  Some isolators have a manual or automated way to feed power from the house battery to the truck battery.

Here is an intro to solar that may help put the ideas together.
