Garage tidy: where to store road gear

3 min read · ADR Gear

Gear is only useful if you can find it. A little order in the garage means no hunting when you need something.

Here are simple storage ideas.

Hooks for bags

A strong hook by the door holds a zip bag like the Oil and Fuel Spill Kit Bag.

Keep it at a height you can reach.

A shelf for chocks

Chocks are heavy.

Put the Rubber Wheel Chock Pair on a low shelf by the door, with the rope handle facing out.

A flat spot for mats

Store the Neoprene Drain Cover Mat rinsed and dry.

Keep it flat or rolled on a shelf, where it is easy to grab.

Label it

A bit of tape and a marker makes a shelf easy to read.

See our spill kits for more.

A weekend plan

Spend half an hour on it. Clear a shelf, put up two hooks and lay down a bit of tape for labels. Move everything for emergencies to the same corner, and keep daily tools elsewhere.

The bag is $49, the chocks are $39 and the mat is $39. Shipping is free over $75, so a bag and a pair of chocks reach that. Keep the rope handle of the chocks facing out, and keep heavy things low. Browse all vehicle and trailer gear.
