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

[whitexc]

Where do you folks put all this crap, stuff I mean. I don't care for clutter! A bin in the bed under the tonneau would work but not sure how long some of this would last with temps being he way they were last week.

Let's see bin pics and organizational skillz.

Glove boxes, center console/arm rest, door cards, Ram Bins, behind the back seat, in a backpack that lives in the truck. Lots of storage in the cab for smaller items

I carry a couple of glocks and just hang them from my mirror on a lanyard kind like the fir tree air fresheners. Not sure why but people seem to pull over and let me by if they are driving slow, everybody is so polite to me as well.

I'll never keep a gun IN my truck again. Had one get stolen. It only has to happen once then you're pissed off forever about it. I carry, so that covers that anyway. Same goes for a pocket knife

Must haves:

Jumper cables - under rear seat
Windshield sun shade - under rear seat
Umbrella - under rear seat
Tow strap and shackles - in floor storage
Tire plug kit - center console
Tire pressure gauge - glove box
Ratchet straps, bungee cords, zip ties - door pockets
Flashlight w/ spare batteries - center console
Multi-tool - center console
Couple lighters - center console
First aid kit - center console
Box of Kleenex (I find it to stay cleaner and together better than a roll of TP and I use it for highway nose picking anyway, so Kleenex it is) - center console
Hand Sanitizer - catch all bin/cup holder
Fast food napkins - glove box
Purple crown royal bag filled with change. I try to keep a couple 20's in there too. - center console
Pens and a writing pad - center console
Copy of insurance and inspection papers with owner's manual/books - glove box


Good to have: I need to get
air compressor - back seat
floor jack - under back seat
tool kit - under back seat
flare/roadside emergency kit - back seat
fire extinguisher - under front seat
overnight bag (toiletries and clothes) - back seat
baseball bat. (I heard a lawyer once say, if you're going to keep a bat in your car, do the defense team a solid and keep a ball and a glove in there too) - under back seat

Brand new truck so still gathering items but

So far
1. 2-3 hanging folders in center console (Ram has special area to hang them towards rear of bottom center console). I put in gas/business receipts for expenses there and any other things I file.
2. Glove box top, phone cables/plug in fast charger, napkins
3. Sweater/blanket
4. Cowboy Hat hanging hat rack behind rear back passenger seat. I have mega cab so even if rear passenger leans back it will not damage hat/squish it The rack hangs from headrest. Easy access for sure.
5. Milwaukee Packout wheel tool box with handle removed, tool bag, and vacuum. All next to each other on front end of bed. Keeper cargo bar holding everything against back of bed, that way I have the rest of the whole bed for other cargo. Added another cargo bar to keep things from moving all over bed. For reference, I have to open up/fold up ALL of the Baklip MX4 to get to tools but if I am getting to them its because I got to jobsite and going to stay there and leave cover open. Bought an

On the way:
Swing Case from Undercover for Passenger side (to not block plugs on driver side)
Will put Hot Shot Secret EDT additive, funnel inside swing case, towels, knee pad(s), tow straps and idk what else.

Saw in most posts about carrying a first aid kit. Attended a first aid class at work some time ago (when I was working that is). The instructor emphasized this point and had a couple in his. Kotex.....he said there was nothing on the market that would soak up blood better. For severe wounds that were gushers, he said just start stacking them up until things coagulated. Let the jokes commence.

Why stop at pads? Carry some tampons, too. In the event of a gunshot wound you can just stick one in the hole.

Hello All, what are your thoughts on RHINO tow staps, recovery straps for Ram 3500 SRW
