    Easily behind the right rear passenger seat in the trays. I forgot a few things on that list that are behind the left rear passenger seat:
    Jumper cables, Orange flashlight attachment for directing traffic (my dad and great-grand-dad are/were LEO, so I spent a lot of time helping direct traffic around accidents as a kid). Beneath the left rear passenger seat is a camping pillow and camping blanket.

    Some vendor should pay attention and make a TW custom kit!

    And like, I'm not a fear-monger or Prepper or anything, I just sat down when I had a day off and made a list of all the things I've needed in the past, and might need with kids, if we ever got stranded in bad weather.

    Cool! If it fits in the storage compartments then it looks like I have some Home Depot trips to make and maybe some Amazon shopping to do. I'm always up for that...

    No, I understand and this is exactly what I want to do. I just go blank after flashlights and toilet paper...

    Oh man, I have a family Bug Out wishlist on Amazon. It's easily $1,200 worth of stuff for a family of four to make it 7-10 days and get to our family's mtn. property.

    My wife walked in a few days ago and said "why is there a sandwich bag full of whiskey shooters next to the bug spray? (I made a roadside kit for her car too). I told her "in case you get stranded somewhere and it's cold, you'll need to stay warm."

    One thing I frequently see left out of people's emergency kits is a reflective vest - you know the bright green vests with reflective tape on them. If you are disabled on the side of the road, or end up walking along the road to get assistance, you really want one of these. They are cheap and compact. Make sure you get something big enough oversized to fit over any jacket or rain gear you might be wearing.

    Most important? How about a 21mm and a 22mm 4 way so you can change a tire if needed. Lug nuts vary in size on these trucks.

    Ditto! Good point. I keep a bright orange mesh one with reflective strips. Something's I wonder how colorblind people see dayglo stuff like this.
