Thread: What does Blknight.aus keep in the back of his truck?

This is the list of stuff that normally rides in the back of or under the rear seats of Big Red unless Ive stripped the back out to make room for moving stuff or becuase I specifically want to carry something bigger from one of the "mission kits".

Usually If Im doing that I dont need to be able to take passangers so theres a bit of a reshuffle the stuff under the seats goes on the floor in front of the seats and then the right hand side seat is flipped forwards.

Items listed in Red Always come.


In the back under the frame or in front of the fridge

• the aircompressor,
  
• the firstaid kit,
• exhaust bag jack,
• toolbox with airfittings+tyre inflator gear
• toolbox (same as airline box) with drag chain, shackles, snatch strap, rigger gloves
• tyrepliers and rubber mallet
• jaffle iron
  
• 2 fire extinguisers
• welder/rigging gloves
• .30cal liner with drag chain in it
• 12 can cooler with elecritcal gear in it (multimeter, wire, fuses, bulbs, generic soldering/electrical crap)
• milk crate (jumperleads, tow rope, snatch block, 600w inverter, spare gloves, toilet rolls, small wheel chocks, spare gas can for the stove)

Under the seat bases

• normal rover higlift like jack
• real highlift jack
• bolt cutters
• 2x mattock heads
• mattock handle
• 2x shovels
• axe
• dustpan+ brush
  
• generic vehicle toolbox (aka the GO box)
  

not in the pic is the baseplates for the jack, the gas cooker, foodstuffs, water containers + entertainment gear. If they come and the seats are up they go under the lids for the back wooden frame with just a little space for rags to spare. (you can just make out one of the baseplates in the second pic

If the Bed is setup they ride in the front of the rear seats on the floor.

with the rear seatup all of the stuff fits in the back (along with the fridge) under the framework and normally the right and center seats would be free and the Go box lives in front of Alex's seat on the floor.

we normally have a 75mm thick single matress that is a perfect fit ontop of the frame setup as seen above and we throw our echelon bags behind the drivers head rest and the toiletries ontop of the go box in front of Alex's baby seat. Theres at least 3 pillows and 2 sleeping bags that lay out ontop of the bedframe

Worst experience of not enough space.

Driving the twins around for a nap when they were about six months old. Cedar sideboard, 'bout a hundred and fifty years old in the chuckouts. In beautiful condition. Giant pram in the back of the subaru, the 130 was sitting outside the mechanic busted. No roof racks.

Drove to mechanics, just in case I could drive the couple of k's to get it. No go, got about a km before it all went bad.

Drove past a few minutes later, some ar*e in a hatchback was stuffing it in through the hatch and bits were falling off everywhere. Nearly jumped out and killed him.

Cheers
Simon.
