I'm interested in seeing how others use their rear seat storage, be that the stock kits or something DIY/aftermarket. I've been using mine the same way for a couple months now but I'm always wondering if I can fit more or rearrange it in a more efficient way.

Driver side I have my First Aid Kit, a pack of battery powered road flares, some gloves, and a bank deposit box I found at a thrift store. Inside it I have my Spline drive, lug, and wrench, a couple microfleece rags, tire pressure kit (deflators/gauge), multi-tool Leatherman, and winch remote when not in use. Behind the box - not pictured - I also have a ~16 inch lead pipe for leverage on my 1/2" driver.

Passenger side I have a small backpack with jumper cables and a brush/ice scraper, and a large trashbag with a towel. You never know! PS: I removed the stock scissor jack and irons.

Bonus: did you know the slot behind the seat will perfectly fit a 48" jack? :like: And in that little net I just have a flashlight.

I keep electric blankets (powered via cigarette lighter adapter) behind the seats. I also keep a very small first aid kit velcroed to the back. Under the seats, I’ve got:

jumper cables
Ratchet straps
Flashlight
A few tools

… and presumably a bunch of random stuff I can’t recall because it’s full.

I plan to eventually install a powered subwoofer behind the passenger side rear seat. And I’d like to get the JCR under seat storage so I can lock it up if I ever want to get around with the doors off.

Having two kids in car seats I removed the storage compartment to utilize the space.

Tag for later. Will upload. I keep ALOT under the seats.
Under Seat:
  • Torque wrenches: 5-80lb-ft and 50-250lb-ft
  • Breaker bar
  • Roll-up tool pouch with socket sets (includes one for every bolt/nut size the JT uses, including 26 for the oil filter housing!), conversions/extensions, torx bit set, allen key set, various spare bolts/nuts/screws/pushpins (mostly spares from bumper/fender flares install)
  • Heavy-duty jumper cables
  • Siphon pump
  • Steel hammer
  • Rubber mallet
  • Large magnet that can pick up/hold 100-200lbs
  • Some spare fuses
  • Tray with magnet
  • Tub of high temp grease and white lithium grease. Yes I know I don't need so much, they are as much a place holder as they are for me being lazy and not putting in smaller containers
  • Metal wire/strips to hold up things to parts that get hot
  • Standing light
  • Headlamp
  • Sticky rubber gloves
  • Sticky/grippy nitrile gloves
  • Roll of shop towels
  • Instruction manual for the Smittybilt winch
  • Paracord bracelet with flint
  • The diaper is clean, I swear.
  • I have some things under the other side but there's a car seat in the way. Should be stuff I don't foresee needing except in emergencies that warrant removing the seat. Probably some rope and other survival gear
As you can see, I have more room for more stuff if I needed, but not much

I will be adding a printout of the torque specs on the driveline and common components. It's about 8 pages front-and back with diagrams on where the parts are.


Behind the seats, not pictured:
3 pouches of gear oil/differential fluid - I think it's 75-90. I think, still no clear answer even from this thread, on whether 75-85 or 75-140 should be used, but I'm keeping enough for both diffs with 75-85 as I have open diffs and Max Tow (not just Trailer Tow package). Anyway, I figure in an emergency I'll be ok with 75-90

GoPro gear for outings (inevitably I will forget to pack it so I keep mounts and such behind the passenger side rear seat)


I have also been able to fit: a set of armor and rifle with mags behind the seats. You know, for when you have that sudden desire to go train at the range ;)


Oh and behind the driver's seat: air compressor, tow strap, limb saver, tarp, blanket, jacket, fire extinguisher, large ratchet straps, tarp, chords, lug-cross wrench, and umbrella.

Damn it man you're making the rest of us look bad… Also can I get a list of what's in that tool roll, and a copy of the specs sheet :like:

Roll pouch has a set of metric and sae allen keys, long and short.

I keep a set of metric standard and deep socket sets, 12pc each I think, has to have 10mm, 16mm, and 18mm. All from Harbor Freight. Also have 3/8" and 1/2" conversions and extensions, as well as a 26mm socket, those I got from AutoZone
Torx set is also a HF buy, 12pc I think. Nothing here cost over $35 per set so it isnt the top of the line stuff. I can set out a list tomorrow.

I am happy to share a specific torque spec when I have it, but posting pages of information might run afoul of copyright with Jeep.

Y’all are so neat! I just throw stuff in there, sometimes the seat bottoms don’t close all the way. ?

Most of what I have are, biking stuff and first aid plus weather/seasonal dependent extras.

Weight belt for gym that I never use (who does legs anyway?), towels, spare swimsuit, underwear, shorts, and a couple extra t-shirts. I live in Florida and always want to be prepared for going to the beach. Also keep rear window storage bag under the seat or in the bed.
