Question What do you keep in your cubbie compartment

What do you guys keep in the cubbie hole/compartment on you gen 3
4runners (I don't know if gen 1,2 or 4 has it, if they do post up).

This is what is currently in mine:



Soon to be added tire puncher kit and a small air compressor.

One side is blocked by my CO2 tank. The other side has my winch controller (So It NEVER leaves the truck) & Winch gloves. I have accidentally forgotten to load my winch recovery kit (snatch block, chain, and controller before) so I learned to leave the controller in that cubby. It is so accessible there too!

Oh and I'm a 2nd gen and I have one on each side...

Actually, I cleaned it two days ago and I'll be getting one of those thick rubber catch all type mats back there. I'm tried of my tools sliding around.

What doesn't fit in my cubbie hole: is my maglite, 3"x30' recovery strap and d-shackle, trailer hitch and jumper cables.

the thought of offroading and getting stuck kind of makes me wish i had gotten a pontiac aztek for ONE reason, and ONE reason ONLY: they had a built in tent. other than that i hate the aztek, and everything about it. i wonder how tools would hold up... prob not too well. maybe a one or 2 man tent in the 4runner as well?
