What are some must haves in your truck and where do you keep them?

[Sir Snacksalot]

I thought it would be fun to see what everyone thinks they need to have in their trucks at all times, and which storage spots are great for what!

LOL! I too carry emergency butt wipe. That is a must in all my vehicles.

Ditto on the emergency butt wipe, it's in the floor bin behind driver's seat (you never know when Taco Bell is going to strike back, you don't buy it, you rent it). 10K lb tow strap in passenger side floor bin. Ratchet straps (probably too damn many) under back seat plus some jumper cables, driver's side. Bungee cords and hitch sleeve under fold flat compartment under back seat, driver's side. Factory sub takes up back passenger side or I'd probably have more stuff!

I do not understand why anyone would waste space for TP. Leaves will surfice in an absolute emergency, and they are literally EVERYWHERE except in deserts! So I would carry some emergency TP, if I was heading into the desert.

Then you should double-up on either underwear or socks if you ever plan to visit Colorado. I frequent many areas where I'd need to hike for miles before finding enough leaves suitable for duty.

Usually where i go there is a ton of poison ivy or pine needles im not interested in wiping with either ......

Interesting to see that most of us truck guys carry a sidearm/ defense weapon in the truck. Dodge should jump on the wagon and offer a secure , easy access compartment for us.
