Do you ever go to clean out your car and find that your whole life has moved into your car’s trunk? Well, same. When it comes time clean your trunk, aka get a box and throw everything into it, there might be a couple of things you should keep in there! I know, I know, you’re probably confused as to why I’m telling you to leave things in your trunk that you probably don’t even know what they do. But, hold tight because you will and you’ll thank yourself for having them later!

 

  1. Mounted LED Light:
    • These are small but powerful (1,000-lumen lights) lights that work with a mount. You’re probably asking why you need a mounted flashlight in your trunk right? Well, this one is a whole lot more powerful than your cellphone light and it’s hands-free! Which means you can stick it to the side of your car to light up a campsite, change a tire, or work under the hood! And the cool thing about these lights are that the light runs off your car’s battery or an external battery pack so you don’t have to worry about it dying!
  2. Emergency Jump-Starter
    • You should always carry jumper cables, but what if you’re alone and have no cell service? That where having this guy is very handy! An emergency jump-starter kit comes equipped with its own cables and has enough juice on a full charge to jump most cars up to 20 times.
  3. Tire Gauge
    • Airing down your tires is one of the best ways to get better traction in rough terrain or even snow. If you find yourself stuck pull out this tire gauge and air down, then after your out use it to re-inflate your tires to proper pavement pressure!
  4. Handheld Radio
    • If you find yourself going for a joy ride in your Nissan and find yourself needing assistance but not having service this handheld radio will be your lifesaver! Use the radio to make contact and have someone come assist you!
  5. Synthetic Shackle
    • In the case that your car goes off the road and needs to be pulled out you’ll find yourself needing one of these. It loops through the recovery hooks under your car or around your frame, creating a place to attach the tow rope.

 

So next time you’re cleaning out your trunk remember to leave these few items in there! Don’t want them rolling around freely in your trunk? I wouldn’t either! I would recommend getting a small organizer for your trunk to help store all your necessary goods!
