What does everyone keep in their rear cargo panel?

Before I consulted my manual, I thought this area was for a missing factory jack kit.

After I found that under the seat, I knew I had a convenient hiding place for my macgyver items.
In here i have..
4"x30' strap
Assorted clevises and frame hook
ABC type fire extinguisher
Ratchet strap
Zip ties
Electrical tape
Roll of nylon rope
Slip joint pliers
Knife
Spare Ice scraper

I am going to have to learn to pack better, you got lots in there.

30' tow rope
Tree saver
couple of shackles
receiver hitch for shackle
 
Do you really think you are going to be able to get that fire extinguisher out in time to put out the fire?
 
Damn OP you have that packed nicely. I just have my recovery hitch bouncing around in there pissing me off

2 ratchet straps, 12'
1 " " , 4'
1 cam lobe strap, 8'
1 Gerber folding shovel
1 pair sand gaiters
1 #2 spring clamp
1 #1 spring clamp
1 of those long snakey grabber things with the four little claws
1 bungee(adjustable length)

You asked...
 
Tow strap, jumper cables, leather gloves, winch remote, pair of shackles and some bungies. I think that is about it. Got the unfortunately small panel so to get anything out everything has to come out with how tight it is.
 
Jumper cables and ratchet straps. I'm working on putting a tool bag together to go there too. I'm tired of having a massive metal tool box in the back.

Yes, to me it is more accessible then extinguishers on service trucks which are inside toppers, in tool boxes, etc.

I agree with you on this. Access to your fire extinguisher could mean the difference between a salvageable rig or a total loss. Here's mine, in the wasted space in front of my seat. Fire engine red.

My installation is here. Fire extinguisher installation

Back on topic: Some of you guys pack a lot of stuff in that small cargo space. Pretty impressive.

That's exactly where Toyota put it in my '97 Brazilian HiLux SW4, where a fire extinguisher is required original equipment. A triangle, also required, goes in the racklet in the back compartment along with a (required) first aid kit.

The extinguisher law goes back to the tendency of air-cooled VW bug engines to catch fire in the Brazilian heat. Happened all the time.

I have a telescoping fishing pole, reel and bait kit, to bad I have never gone fishing. But that is not as bad as having a 4x4, and never going 4x4ing.

That's not true lol. Neither one of them are bad but buying straight up equipment that has one use that you haven't used it for is a little worse than buying a vehicle that had one feature you haven't used yet but you still use the vehicle everyday.

Neither are a big deal so you don't need to try to justify it, really.
