How do you organize your trunk

[Zubail]

Hi all, I'm totally newbie,  just few weeks how bought Expedition Timberline. 

Main question is how do you usually organize your trunk with essentials, recover kits etc. How do you store and fix it?

I have everything stowed in a toolbox, which is secured using ratchet straps from Amazon.

I also have some shovel rubber mounts which I have installed on the inside boot area so that during drives I can get quick access to my Shovel to dig myself and others out without having to disconnect all the straps and do them back up after.

 

See you on a drive sometime!

Can 100% concur with Luke, I have a large plastic storage box that contains recovery gear, tools, basic emergency equipment, etc. tied down with ratchet straps and shovel mounted onto the rear door of my Pajero with the same rubber clips. In my front cubby I have my quick deflating tool, pressure gauge and leather work gloves, along with a roll of toilet paper and spare bin bags.

Thanks for answers, thinking same, but don't know about sizes, need sometimes to keep 3rd row opened,  but still don't want to take this box home, and doing measures measures to find proper which will be ideal 🫠

@Zubail I suggest purchasing all the equipment that you believe should be in the box, then go to Ace or similar and find a suitable box or two that will fit in your trunk. Also need to size it and locate it in a position that works with the tie down points in your car. Using two boxes might make the packing of your trunk easier and make them lighter to remove if you need to use the 3rd row. The most important goal is to have everything able to be secured so that they do not bounce around over rough ground and fly around the cabin causing injury if something more serious happens.

just make sure you get something sturdy. Once I bought a jack for offroad it moved little by little around inside my plastic box i was using, and eventually cracked the sides. now i strap my jack down to another tiedown point so it cant move around at all but separate to the rest of my 'soft gear'

I've also seen some people use a small suitcase. which seems to work pretty well giving you two sides to work with and fits well into trunks, and can be strapped down easily.

One of these has done me well so far. Easy access, and can be tied down pretty well and fits most of my stuff (apart from the compressor)

My "temporary" solution... 😅

There is no more permanent,  than temporary 😂😂😂

@Matt - monkeywrench I went to ACE, they don't have in stock, but I like solution of bag, not box, which will be closed and have pockets(closed) for small staff
