I was going to post this in the 100 and less thread... but my posts aren't showing up there. So I'll just start a new thread! Came up with this on my own, and it has been handy.

When I'm out on the trail, I obviously take more tools with me, but this is also my daily driver, so I need the room daily. I hate having junk stacked in my Jeep, and I keep my compartment under the carpet full with a chain and some rope.

So to start I bend the tab (or break off as I did) that keeps the jack from sliding all the way back.





This allows for about an extra 2 inches of room. Tighten the jack to make sure it doesn't rattle or move.




Cut out the bolt holders on the plastic tray. (everything falls out of them anyway)




I use a roll up tool bag and can actually fit quite a bit of tools, have also used a regular tool bag in the past, tough doesn't work as well.




Completed, it fits right in there! And allows you to have some basic tools all the time




Total Cost: $5 for the bag

I hope this helps someone, I know I use the hell out of it as my daily driver, I'm often the only one with some tools with them! Even if its not everything I would take on the trail.

Cheers and hope it helps!

 

thats a great idea . out of the way and doesnt rattle . hell any tools at all beat no tools .

More room to store things; just what we need.
