    One time my Ex GF locked her keys in her car out in the middle of nowhere, I ended up cutting a piece of wire out of a fence to get it open so now I keep a coat hanger in my truck for just such an emergency.

    LOL, I had a 1985 Nissan 4x4 with a Smitty Built rear tube bumper. I kept a bent up coat hanger in the rear bumper. I locked my keys in the truck about once a month.

    I always keep a couple packs of hand warmers. Just incase I forget em if I go hunting, or we’re to get stranded somewhere.

    I’d add that an extra old sweatshirt or jacket is a good idea this time of year, if you need to fix a flat or something always good to have an outer layer in case you’re wearing something you don’t want to get crap all over. Also never know when you may just need it to keep someone warm.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    I have to say that on my last wheelin’ trip I should have had more Valve Stems.
    My buddy blew two on the same trip, figured out the ones that were installed were BS. But I must say, having a set of 4 was the only thing that saved our day.
    We were at a huge OHV park, and I think we were 2.5hrs from camp.

    What is that under the phone charger, a Ka-bar ice scraper? A tactical masonry chisel?

    What brand are the black and tan tool bags? Being tall and narrow, they look like they would be a nice fit behind the rear seat.

    No recovery gear of sorts since I haven't really started hitting the trails, but I do keep:

    -Spare waterproof jacket
    -Blanket
    -First aid kit
    -Ratchet straps
    -2 flashlights
    -2 knives
    -2 lighters and matches
    -Battery bank and charging cable
    -Jumper cables
    -Magnetic work lights
    -Light fishing rod and tackle
    -Factory jack
    -Gallon of water
    -Water filter
    -Various small snacks light protein bars, crackers etc.
    -A few different diameter accessory cords and carabiners
    -Shop towels
    -3/8" 6' cable lock with two masterlocks
    -100pc socket set
    -Small tool bag with pliers, screwdrivers, couple of wrenches etc.

    Having the center console and glove box organizers makes good work of the smaller items while the rest live behind and under the rear seats. I usually keep the fishing rod broken down into two pieces behind the rear headrest.
