Lets see the things that LIVE in your Tacoma!!

Im curious what people KEEP in their trucks that are not vehicle recovery, tools, or actually related to trucks at all. But the other things that live in your trucks at all times!!

Ill go first...

Sorry for the bad pics... Cheap phone and it being dark doesnt help...

First, start with essentials. Knives and light. Im a knife guy, but even if your not, a good blade should be in EVERY truck if you ask me. All these live in my truck...

Swamp Rat Chopweiler, Ka-bar globetrotter, Ka-bar BK11 (bottle opener on rear of handle), Daizee birudashi (beer dashi, bottle oepner on handle), Leatherman, Ka-bar spork with built in knife, And fenix PD35 flashlight.

All this fits in the center console except the 2 larger knives. The largest goes under my seat, the 2nd to largest goes by the parking break. Always.





Next survival gear, Sawyer mini water filter. I have used this in rivers, creeks, lakes, swamps and all and im still alive. Never got sick using one. I have used the lifestraw many times before getting the sawyer and I will never go back to a lifestraw....

Portable fishing pole in hard case, hooks and sinkers, firesteel firestarter, and a mini survival kit that includes a few things that may help in an emergency SHTF situation... All this fits in a small backpack with hydration bladder behind the rear seat... Not pictured is a roll of toilet paper thats also in the pack.



Last... I do a LOT outdoors, from fishing/bowfishing, camping, hiking, to just exploring, so i keep bug spray, sunblock, paper towels and a small trash can in the truck all the time as well.

The bug spray, sunblock, and paper towels fit in the driver side rear door cup holders, all 3 fit no problem. The trash can goes on the floor in the rear right behind the center console.

This is great for when one of the kids get sick... I know from experience how much it sucks to clean throw up off a brand new trucks interior LOL




Your turn, Lets see some of the things you guys keep in your trucks!!!

 

Sorry, this was the first thing that popped up when I saw the title to the thread.

 

I always find stray fries in my '03 when I do get around to cleaning it.

 

I keep to much random stuff that I think I need, but will never use. But it's there

 

Probably falls into recovery but not really since I don't do that steep of stuff...
Winter time I carry a tote box of chains, blanket, snow shovel, bag o sand, some food...
Summertime my backpack gear is always at hand for who knows what. I also carry my SAR bag at all times because... SAR...

Other than that, flashlight, blade, hand sanitizer, tire gauge, a couple dozen maps, camp chair, a soft side cooler bag (lunch size), small tool kit, leather gloves. I'm sure there's more...

 

Glock 23, Thrunite flashlight, a couple Smith blades and a pack of sunflower seeds!

 

Hope you have a lock box bolted to the floor or something

 

Always in:Flashlight, sun glasses, ice scraper, tire gauge, flares, reflective vest, gloves, lug wrench, WD40, tire inflator, jumper cables,
first aid kit, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, pen and pad.

Sometimes in: Tire chains, shovel, axe, weapon, poncho liner, 72 hr bag...

 

Here's a good starter kit:

 

Lotion eh?

 

And are those tube socks?

 

If you ain't worried bout nothin yet, don't. I only do it as a 1st responder and SAR and having lived in hurricane, tornado, and wildfire areas.

 

Tow hitch, a couple of towels,a clinical body bag, Ruger sr9c with two extra 17 round magazines loaded with Hornady Critical Duty. Oh, and a bed extender.

 

Most essential is water, I will throw shitpaper in next and everything else is mission specific with the basics taken care of....good start grasshopper...

 

Playboys, Lotion, socks, old spice "swagger" what a combo!

Hold on to the playboys they might be worth something someday

 

I like the addition of the private property sign...that's planning ahead! Wait a minute, darn near every dirt road in Texas is posted as private property...

 

Sweet fap fap kit. Although I dont see what the knife or sign is for.

 

The only real tool I carry is a 12 mm socket and wrench I bought from Harbor Freight in case I need to remove my factory tonneau cover while away form home.

 

Body bag?

 

Always be prepared
