Post your small stuff storage solutions!

[carbon60]

How do you keep your small bits organized in the cab? I'm referring to the things you want handy, including, but not limited to: sunglasses, hats, gloves, binoculars, lighting, lighters, keys, some tools, crap-in-the-woods kit, water bottle, maps, batteries, sunscreen, bug dope, jacket, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I seem to be struggling with this as I've easily filled the built-in storage compartments like the glove box and centre console, and even the stuff in those is not well organized.

I ordered a set of cordura seat covers with molle backs. When I get them installed, all the small miscellaneous crap will go into individual bags stuck to the seat backs. New covers also have sunglass pockets on the side bolsters and velcro detachable pistol pouches on the front of the bottom cushions. Those pouches hold all the cell phone chargers and headsets and USB cables and patch cords, and spare battery packs.

set of zippered pouches form the hardware store. medium sized one, about the size of a standard business envelope has all the small electronics support stuff. USB cables, 12v->USB chargers, earphone jacks, bluetooth earpiece etc.
Smaller red pouch has crap like chapstick, eyeglass wipes, couple bandaids, and some small pill containers with aspirin, ibuprofen, caffiene and benadryl, few other medial / body items. There's a more complete family-sized 1st aid kit in the back. This puch is just for immediate convenience.
Both pouches are in the center console, with a bunch of other stuff, including a small 110V inverter, bottled water, disinfecting handwipes, kleenex.

I had unused space under the seats, so I made some lockable drawers for small things.

That is really nice, I wish.

The seat-back method is nice, but I'd like to have front-seat access to a lot of stuff.

you do, particularly if the stuff is on the back of the passenger seat. Unless your arms are as short as a T-Rex's


eta I never realized just how many T-Rex short arm joke illustrations there were until I just looked

I'm planning on buying a fabric "shoe hanger" like this to put on the roll bar of my JKU Wrangler.

I'll turn it horizontal, and sew up little "flaps" to cover each opening. Each flap will have velcro so they can stay closed, and they'll have all those little things that are nice to keep handy.

I have not taken the measurements for length yet, but I figure I can always cut a big one down if I need to.

Has anyone seen anything similar?

I use the seat covers like Rocket Box has on the passenger seat but with it turned around the other direction.
Works great of traveling by myself. I can reach all the small items needed.

some outfitters (511 - i think) offer police shift/ duty bags that sit on the front seat and are held by the lapbelt. for solo travel, that might work.

like this one: http://www.511tactical.com/patrol-ready.html

I have a shelf-it installed. Mounts to the sun visor mounts and the sun visors relocate onto the bottom of the shelf. I love it.
