In the Jeep?  :icon_razz:

I have a bag full of recovery gear (tree strop / shackles / strop etc).  Usually kept on the floor behind the passenger seat, so is easily reachable if required.

Used to have it i an ammo case bolted where the spare wheel is on the door.    But... it always meant standing in the mud to get to some'at. So now have 2 canvas bags on passenger floor and no more probs.... always to hand.

I keep my recovery kit in the garage when it's not required. I store it in one of these tubtrugs and just grab it and chuck it in the back of the Jeep. I keep shackles, strops, saw etc in it and it's easy to load and unload. I also keep a couple odd small shackles and a recovery strop in the back of the Jeep.

OK and stop bickering at the back.... :icon_biggrin:

I replaced me old Wilkinsons storage crate with ...another one coz the ammo box wasn't ideal for my TJ

Roughly 22" x14" a 12"

In it is...big recovery rope rope , Explorer recovery strap (used Saturday) Bridle, One of those ropes used to anchor trucks to trees for winching  numerous shackles, spade, various spanners/sockets  Can  WD40, screwdriver

Bungee straps


Just need some more 19mm shackles...

And no Bull dog don't take fruit on laning trips...crisps and pasties possibly.... :hysterical: :hysterical:

so noone that stores their gear in a unsecured manor has had anything coming flying at them?
guess laning is too slow and uneventful for me. :003:

Good point. I didn't think about that either until a drunk hit us at 60mph. Even the smallest
object is lethal when it hits your bonce at 60, nevermind a wrench or suchlike. Whatever you use,
make sure it's strapped in good and the lid closed.
