This is an easy one. I did some reorganizing of the Jeep recently to save some space, and ended up with some tools that wouldn't fit into my Fat 50 cans under the rear passenger seat: A breaker bar, several wrenches, and a dead blow hammer. I can't leave them loose in the Jeep as they'll rattle like crazy, and in the event of an accident- they'll become nasty projectiles. Nor could they continue tp live in the rear trunk anymore, as that's where my compressor and air up system live now. So I grabbed one of the fabric grocery totes I had removed from the back of the Jeep (because it was ripping on the seam), a few cinch straps, and got to work.
What you need:
- Fabric Grocery Tote (These seem to work better than the plastic ones, doesn't matter if it's ripped), or even an old towel or two.
- Something to Fasten it with: cinch straps, an old belt, even zip ties will work (although you'll need new ones whenever you use the tools)
What I did:
- Bundled the tools up, and put a cinch strap through the looped end of them.
- Placed the opposite (loose) end inside the grocery tote
- Wrapped/ rolled the grocery tote until it was tight(ish) around the tools
- Took the second cinch strap (long one), and wrapped it around the middle part of the grocery tote, then wrapped it back, pulled it through the buckle onto itself until it was tight
- Slid it under the rear seat with my HiLift jack.
(Slid in farther after this picture so it's secure behind my jack)
Cheap and easy. Doesn't rattle. Secure in the event of a collision.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
