how are your drawers organized?

Right now, mine are a jumbled mess. I'm going to pull the drawers out of the truck tonight and work on organizing them, curious as to how others have them organized, and of course pics of such organization?

I have my underwear and socks in the top drawer.
Then we have double doors with a couple shelves and my shorts and work clothes are in there then the drawer below it is my wife's underwear drawer. Then the bottom drawer is more of her unmentionables.


Then the other dresser I have my t-shirts on the one side an my wife has her T-shirts and stuff on the other side.

I'd get pictures but my wife would get mad about the picture of her underwear drawers.

I have no drawers but a large tool bag. I try and arrange them by need. On the bottom I have my 2 wands 1 for metric and 1 for standard sockets. Then 3 tools wraps 1 for metric 1 for standard and 1 for combo ratchet met/stan. Hacksaw, 3lb mini sledge hammer, 16" ish pry bar, jumper cables, power tank fixa-flat kit, permanent marker, some various hardware, spoon, fork, 3/8" ratchet, 21mm socket, 11/15" (or whatever toyo drain plug size is), gloves 2 phillips screw drivers, and 2 bladed drivers, 1 pair channel locks, and I think thats it, in the spare tire jack and tool location I have a large ratchet with extension and 3/4" socket for the wheels, much faster than the tire iron.

I was wondering how long it would take for the :shakin: to start.:jump:

I have single drawer (link to build in sig). I use tool wraps and in the left most compartment is the wrap with my sockets and ratchets. On top of it is a survival knife, pry bar and a 18 inch breaker bar. Next compartment is another wrap with my smaller tools including a multi meter, butane soldering iron/torch. In the bit towards the front is some loose parts like radiator clamps. Next row is a third warp with screw drivers and wrenches. The compartment in front of that has clevises and above that is some assorted hardware. The right bin has my joint press for doing ball joints and u-joints. Gloves, bow saw, document tablet. spare socks.

My draw base has a storage compartment in the front behind the back seat. In it is spare hoses, Come along, some spare fluids like gear oil and other odds and ends.

Passenger side fender compartment is gallon of antifreeze, 2 quarts of oil, spare upper radiator hose that can be cut down to work as a lower and some 3/4 hose. Recovery strap and a tree saver. Yes its in the fender LOL big open cavity in there.

To the left of the drawer is a folding camp chair.

My last truck I carried WAY to much. I had everything you could imagine and I used it often...on everybody else's truck and stuff often disappear or was lost. That was a big K5 and it weighed 6640lb in trail gear. WAY to heavy.

This truck I made a conscious decision that only tools that would work on my truck would be in the truck. It's a 4 Banger so I simply must not carry excess weight. So no 11, 15, 16, 18, 20,21 MM sockets or wrenches. small assortment of multi use tools like Crimpers that also have a good set of Dikes. A screw drive with changeable tips that also has torques and a nut driver bit. One fixed flat blade and one #2 Philips. Basiccaly in just tools I shaved 40+lb over my last truck.
