Something you always have in your Tacoma...

No idea what that means, but now I’m hungry, and still want a luude. I’ve been informed that unless I find one in between an old woman’s couch cushions, I will never know.

 

Recovery strap, receiver hitch, 2 shackles, ball hitch, 5 tie downs, 2 moving blankets, 1 Chiefs blanket, a 5 C's of survival kit, road flare, jumper cables, tools with various misc items, tarp, glass cleaner, interior cleaner, microfiber and shop towels, and lots of CD's.

Center console has all the small stuff. Knives, pens, window breaker/seatbelt cutter, matches, lighter, flashlight, cleaning wipes, and condoms. (wrap your pp, y'all.)

All stuffed and stored into every storage compartment I got.

/e: Small hatchet in bedside compartment, a machete between my door and driver side seat, and a glock in my front center console when I'm not CCW.

A few basic safety items. Living in Canada its always good to have some extra warm clothes around and a tow strap.

Really though, trying to prepare for a dozen different scenarios is useless when the most likely scenario is someone stealing your truck.

 

• 2 first aid kits (one in the driver door, and one hanging off the rear center headrest) and multiple tourniquets throughout the truck
• multitool
• flashlights (two headlamps, one hand light)
• spare batteries (always rotating them out)
  
• chemlights
• signaling panel
• tarp
• folding saw
• large knife
  
• Etool
• tow straps
• tie downs
• bungees
• ball siphon
• fire extinguisher
  
• hammock
• sleeping bag
  
• lots of 550 cord
• tool kit
• mini air compressor (I need a better one) and two air gauges
  
• A small backpack with extra clothes and a pair of boots
• multiple pairs of gloves
  
• towel
  
• baby wipes
  
• zip ties, electrical tape, duck tape, garbage bags, ziplock bags
• a jump pack
• jet boil
• mountain house meals
• 2 life straws
  
• write in the rain pens/pad
• multiple ways to start a fire
• hand warmers
• emergency blankets (2)
  
• WD40
• Stuff for my dog (collapsible dog bowl, spare leash, poop bags, food that gets rotated, reflective dog jacket, Ect..)
• And a self defense item or two that usually stays with me

I'm sure I missed something but I think that's most of it. Now that I listed it all out it seems like a lot.

 

Fleshlight

 

Your truck must be bigger than mine.

 

It actually fits pretty easily. Most of it is small and fits under or behind the rear seats in storage. The rest sits on the floor in the back. I almost never have passengers in the back

 

ALL THE THINGS

 

Yeah, I got a bunch of items stowed away too.

While I never have backseat passengers, I still tend to try and keep things clear in the off chance I do come across some. Only thing in my backseat is my Chiefs blanket and tool box that won't fit anywhere else.

I want to get a storage box for the bed, but I would lose room for my truck bed tent.

 

Box of condoms and a credit card.

 

I try to adjust ass necessary. I wish I could come up with a better solution. I can't add anything to the bed because i'm normally carrying a bicycle or a couple dirt bikes back there

 

My buddy has a attic he attached to the hooks in back seat.

I'm not a fan because I want less clutter inside my truck.

 

Ya I get what you’re saying, and I most likely have too much stuff. But... I’ve been stranded 30 miles or so out of cell phone reception and it sure was nice to get some extra warm clothes on, start a fire, boil some water for hot coffee and make a meal. Then wrap up in my blankets and take a snooze until people realized I was still gone and came to help me out.

 

Not a bad thought but everything I keep in the back seat is a larger item that wouldn't fit anywhere else. Not sure that would work for me

 

Ah, bummer. I feel ya, dude.

It truly seems like we need a storage bed box, but since you're like me, you don't want to sacrifice the room for your bikes or me, my bed tent. Even if I got a bed rack and RTT, I don't think a storage box would still fit unless I had a long bed.

 

I have a similar logic. I don't really carry to much that I wont actually use. Either on my weekend trips or because of a previous situation that I've been in. I'd rather have it than not.

 

One item that someone mentioned on a similar thread that I think is quite useful.... a decent bottle of bourbon (or alcohol of choice).

- If you're ever late to a party, you're not empty handed.
- Running out of booze at a party, camping, tailgating, etc... no one needs to go on a run.
- any of the other reasons you might need some booze

 

i have it. it's ok, not great. can be used for soft things like blankets etc. i gave up all my space behind the seats for stereo, so every little bit helps. and i haul around my family and they like their blankets and warm items.

 

don't think you need any specific reasons for that! any reason will do.
