You guys ever wonder about how the gear you keep in your truck handles the summer heat or freezing winters? I have my battery jump pack, cell phone battery charger, miscellaneous glues and tapes, my tire air pump, all those sort of electronics (especially ones with batteries).
Do you think that stuff ends up dying faster sitting in what is basically an oven in the summer and a freezer in the winter?
I also always like to keep some food in the truck for emergencies but that never ends well. Right now I just have packets of saltines and little packs of Cheerios cause those are the only things I've found not to melt lol.
I'm just bored and pondering while I reorganize my truck.. Discuss... Do you care? Have tips for keeping things safe in extreme temps? Do you take your stuff inside at night like a weirdo?
I really need to take pics of my gear when I'm done. You would be shocked how much crap I have stored in my regular cab. I'm a master of Tetris with the 4 inches of space behind the seats.
I have a full size wool blanket, tire compressor/plug kit, tool roll, jump pack, full size emt med kit, jack, wood plank, and pipe/breaker bar, 4 bottles of water, a lantern, tire chains, a bag for ratchet straps/rope, strobe lights, my OBD2 scanner, jumper cables, and a fire extinguisher all behind the seats. Try and wrap your mind about that after looking at the space behind a regular cab seat.
