What do you carry in your 4R all the time and why?

I have a lithium jump pack, a few small bottles of water, and a sharp pocket knife.
Also, I have a heavy-duty tow strap, just in case. One point to hook it up on the rear hitch, and two hooks on the front.

 

Not the water itself but the bottle. If stored properly, unopened bottled water has a very long shelf life. Proper storage is cool and dark. Chemicals in plastics can leach out when hot, and algae can grow in a sunlit bottle. The longer the sun and heat exposure the more the chance of this happening.

 

Makes sense.

 

Boil water cool it off and placed in an aluminum water jug lasts years and tastes great

 

Things that I carry in my recovery bag most of the time I hit the trails.

Gloves: https://texasgoodgloves.com/collect...ine-american-bison-leather-driver-made-in-usa
pair of soft shackles: https://guardianofbravery.com/store/VEHICLE-RECOVERY-c75513002
Kinetic rope: https://guardianofbravery.com/store/VEHICLE-RECOVERY-c75513002
Recovery strap: https://www.bubbarope.com/tow-straps/black-op-tow-strap
Flashlight: https://www.surefire.com/products/illumination/flashlights/g2x-tactical/

 

Some of these are quite extensive, do you guys have a duffel bag in the back, or is everything scattered around. The third gen doesn't have one pocket that can fit what I carry, the knife is kept in the glove box with the radio, the flashlight and maps are put in the rear seat pockets, the tow strap is just thrown under one of the seats, the d-rings and jump leads are put in a wall compartment in the trunk area, and the flares are kept where the tire equipment is kept.

A small shovel. Got stuck in the snow on a trip to Yosemite when I was younger. Started digging with the tire chain box and swore I'd never forget to bring a shovel. Now I irrationally take it with me everywhere.

 

I hate having things rolling around loose in the back of the 4R. I chose to build storage to keep all of my junk neatly packed away.

 

Myself in the driver’s seat, otherwise it seems it won’t take any verbal commands, no matter how hard i tried. Useless pos.

 

I just pulled everything out last weekend. I didn’t see a point keeping the vehicle weighed down unnecessarily. I was probably carrying over 200 lbs in tools and gear I don’t really need with me most of the time.

Toyota Mac I get it but with the insecurities of today’s world flashing on every fing channel it’s playing with my mind!!!
So to soothe me I need to feel fully prepared
But my carrying everything but the kitchen sink has helped a few stranded souls so I will keep doing it I guess therapy is in my future LOL

I ended up building a box for that area with split compartments and lift cylinders to hold up the lids - but I LIKE the idea of your wheeled removable container. Wish I'd seen that before I went through the hassle of building my own.

 

Reading all the ideas of what to carry mostly mirrors what I have onboard. But realistically, how many times have you gone out with almost everything imaginable only to have left behind that ONE item you felt you would never need? Sh*t happens....

 

Which brand of lithium jump starter is recommended?

 

Noco boost 150 pro awesome so far

 

I bought the Audew 2000A model on Amazon when it was on sale,
based on this video where several brands were tested.
