emergency roadside kit ideas

i need help with emergency roadside kit storage ideas

in my ext cab taco I just threw all this shit in the back behind the seat because nobody but kids and dogs can fit back there lol.

now that I have a Cadillac 4runner I don't want a bunch of shit laying around the passenger seat floor area so it needs to go "somewhere" and my first and only though is in the rear cargo area.

well I need something I can move around easy and not take up a lot of room so I figured a simple storage tote like this would do, but I wanted to hear what you guys did, maybe you guys have better ideas? https://www.walmart.com/ip/HMS-7103...trategy=TIC&visitor_id=QTcWM9ypoaVRrbiHdKzwsM

it fits a portable 2-ton floor jack, jumper cables, 4-way lug wrench, and i'll throw in 2 flashlights (because if you just have one, it always has dead batteries lol) with a rag and some leather gloves. that's just about all I need for fixing flats which is all I am concerned with. but I don't know how well it will hold up.

I got a second one for use as a spill tray if I need to haul something messy

so I guess im really asking if anyone has any better or more creative storage ideas to put all this stuff away out of sight somewhere so I don't need a storage tote to use as a make shift trunk? I know the floor jack can go anywhere but are there good little storage areas hidden away somewhere that im not aware of?

A lot of people have made storage drawers that fit in the back of their 4Runner. Check them out here.

For factory storage compartments, of course there is the glove box and center console, and also one on the left side of the cargo area that holds the stock bottle jack and accessories, and an empty one on the right if you don't have the JBL sub and amp.

Since I have the shelf in back I use three storage boxes - tools, recovery gear & misc crap I carry. The height is perfect, no need for covers. Width is good, a couple inches between them for frequently used stuff like straps, OBA hose. Depth goes from the back seat to the lip on the shelf so they stay in place. Off road I tighten straps in an X to make sure nothing moves.

I use Bus bins. Those gray ones like TSA uses. Two fit under the cargo shelf with room in between for more stuff.
