Tool Storage

[RW81]

I bought 3 tool rolls from https://linkpop.com/officialtoolrol...hJP63GYpMAO2LBW8Q4_aem_eeF6tF5kTpbyk8rOojh0qw all different colors so I can differentiate what’s what. And then they fit perfectly in this lil cubby

For smaller stuff I used to use these military tool bags, plan to probably keep one around still if I have the room

i got the first tool rool to try out last night. Worked awesome and so much better than throwing everything into a single bag. With all the crap i shoved in it, it just barely fit the space, but it was great. I now have $100 worth of tools and different bags on order for the rest of my crap. lol

Nice! I used a sharpie to write what is in each bag. That should help limit how much I have to go through each bag to find what I need

Amazon pouches
I grabbed these to separate wrenches and sockets inside my bigger harbor freight tool bag. I think I have a pelicon case at work I might S.tratigically T.ransfer E.quipment A.lternate L.ocation so I can consolidate some other stuff into it.

100%... think I talked about this in another thread but it's nice to have a big tool kit that's usually buried and then another " quick tool kit" that you can grab that's like under the driver or passenger seat with screwdrivers/ Mexican speed wrench and zip ties, tire plugs etc. So if you need something small you don't have to rip half the truck apart to get to it.

@4lowlance has something like this. I think it is a pouch with a crescent, vicegrip, channel lock, wire cutter, and probably a few other things. He has Milwaukee pack outs for everything else.

rad, i was looking at prp stuff, and this gives me another idea. I think ideally i might have a mix of a few different bag sizes.

I was looking at the PRP bags due to the $100 voucher... But then I read the fine print. I would have grabbed one of the rim center bags for sure, but the other bags looked to be good sized as well. Bonus that the base bolts down and the bag is on quick release.

My kid has been using the Milwaukee pack outs for the a while. All has been good. There are some companies that make metal mounts for them. Not the best pic.
Up front is the big open container with oils, Milwaukee tire inflator, random stuff. It is stuffed with some rags to keep the rattling down.
Then snapped on top of the big open one is a thinner one that has all the Drives, wrenches, sockets, and tools in pouches and in random compartments.
Then closer to the spare tire is 2 small Milwaukee ice chest. One for food and one for drinks.

As for the rattling in the mounts. its there. At one point I did bungee cord them down so they are tighter. But with the sound of the bypasses clicking and the rattles of it just being a Ford Ranger in general. You cant hear it out back. In a SUV that can be a different scenario.

I’ve got things refined down pretty good. Very similar to @59sled

2 packouts on a welded steel mount in the bed. With “heavy tools” and spare parts.

Then a medium tool bag on the cab that’s not too hard to get too.

Zip ties, crescent wrench and 4 way screw driver live in the map pocket of the drivers door.

Ah you guys are using the big tool bags, I use these little ones and divide them up by function/type.

I’ve been debating on what to do for tool storage in my XJ. I’ve always done tool bags and tool rolls but I’ve been debating on trying some of the packout stuff.

I came across these 3D printed u joint holders that I figured some of you guys would like. I’ve always done the vacuum seal method but I kinda like this idea more. They also make them to fit into packout cases.

I can confirm the Bucketboss tool roll is legit. Holds a lot of tools securely and well organized. My gripe is it goes into a hard sided tool case with other random tools and hardware, which then becomes really heavy and a pain to move around. If the tool roll lived inside it could be stored on its own, but I wouldn't trust it to keep out sand and water.
