What do you store under the back bench?

My daughter believes in being prepared when going off roading... oh anywhere really.
We both have a mega stocked EMS bag, disposable "pillows" for heads when getting EMS help(instead of jackets or whatever is easy to reach), 3-4 tow ropes(Rhino mostly), & tracks for getting traction when needed. It, also, hides my purse when needed.

I had to go take a look... it's been awhile since I folded the seats or looked under there. I found a pouch with cordless headphones and remote for rear seat entertainment (better check those batteries) - 110 inverter (from the last tailgate party) - rear seat cover/protector (never used, but good for muddy dogs) - a random towel (good for muddy dogs) - tons of reuseable grocery bags (I just keep buying new ones) - and a code reader.
 
nothing but the oem jack stuff and amp for front speakers.
2 towels

Keep it clear so easier to fold midgate
 
CSP12180 and snow scraper.
 
Both of my trucks have the jack stowed in their normal location.

Since I have a Mid-Deck Mod installed in each truck most of the time, the rear seats in both trucks are typically in the folded down configuration, unless rear seating is needed.

For that reason, I generally do not use the under rear seat area for much storage.

If I remember correctly, there is nothing in the under rear seat area of the EXT.

However, I do store the thick rubber OEM factory installed floor mats in the under rear seat area inside the Avalanche.

Those OEM floor mats got tossed there when I bought my new Weather Tech floormats.

The OEM rubber mats are pretty heavy and cumbersome so under the rear seat seemed like a good place to keep them.

I figured if I ever needed to knell down on some gravel while changing a tire or something, those rubber mats would come in handy.
 
I actually have a power inverter wired up under there. I have used is to power my laptop, power tools, vacuum cleaner, ever a TV and disc player.

Tools, mostly I like to be able to make repairs even away from my garage/workshop. Possibly kids stuff & trash they leave in my truck 🤦‍♂️. It sure would stay clean longer if just me.
Sidebox/= I keep oil,trans fluid, break fluid, extra oil filters, ductape, fuses, and any lil parts could fail to have extras.
Second rear box passenger side was straps, ropes, flashlights, first aid kit, & battery jump power bank. Regular jumpers should go back in as offered to assist stuck parent at school jump their battery. I tossed under rear seat girls were impatient to get home.
I love the storage areas as individual who likes to be prepared as possible 4 unknown conditions away from my home.
I do like the ram box trucks aswell.

Okay, since I asked the question, here's what's under my bench, plus my purse, which is perfect to hide it at. Even cooler, I've no problems putting the back of the bench down flat.
