I've seen a few things members have in their jeep as "normal everyday" supplies that I hadn't thought of, so how about we make a list of the things you carry everyday in all the storage spots around your vehicle. Not special items you add for special occasions or events.
Things like:
Flashlight.
Toolbag with sockets, wrenches, and torx bits.
Tire repair kit and compressor.
Fire extinguisher.
Binoculars.
etc...

What are the things that you would consider "standard jeep equipment" that isn't part of the vehicle itself? Maybe I'll see something I want to add to mine!

  • Batteries, and power bank. In small pouch attached to MOLLE panel of seat back.

  • Air compressor. In one of my gear pods of my Leitner rack.
  • Recovery boards mounted to rack.
  • Shovel. In gear pods of my Leitner rack.

What's the deal with the groundhog? Pet or mascot? Is it mechanically inclined?
