Hey Stephen, I use a milk crate similar to this one: http://ow.ly/7cWfm

Helps hold everything together and doesn’t slide around. If you still have sliding problems, use some of that bumpy rubber they sell to line shelves. http://ow.ly/7cWhO

Does anyone have any ideas about how to organize all these things in the trunk? I can just throw things back there, but inevitably they get beat up, torn, dirty, or squashed as time goes on. Any good ideas about things that might attach to the side of the trunk to hold these things in place? My little jumper cable pockets back there are useless.

Thanks for the help.

I think the “freshen up” tools should really be in the glove compartment (in my opinion). There is only so much you can fit there but I would (not that I do) keep my deodorant and skin cream there.

I’d also add that you should have a box of essential car cleaning tools too (paper towel, mother car wax, windex, etc etc).

Great list though!!

In a pinch, floor mats are good to use when you need to kneel beside the car to change a tire. I also keep an old cell phone that’s not in use in my glove box. Even though it’s not activated, all cell phones are required to be able to make emergency calls–good to have if your current phone dies or you don’t have it with you in the car for some reason.

Great list.

Don’t forget a suitcase or duffle with shirt, pants, underwear, socks, toothbrush and toothpaste.

[...] If you can swing it, a portable AC/DC power system is a great way to ensure you’ll never have to depend on the kindness of strangers and/or the chances of someone having jumper cables when YOU need a helping hand. …[Continue Reading] [...]
