    I keep tools, a tire inflation compressor, and a thorough tire repair kit in mine, as well as bungees, a knee pad, and a large blanket that I can use to wrap items when hauling, or to lay on if/when I break down. In 36 years of driving, I've had ONE flat tire (a recap). Between those items and AAA, I'm not too worried about a flat; also, I buy REALLY good, name brand tires...

    In the location for the spare, I carry a tool bag, a roll of paper towels, a blanket, a jacket, a flashlight, a cupla short 2x4s, a bottle of Mother's back to black ... but the most important thing is a can of silicon spray for the window tracks.

    Rumor has it that there is also plans in motion for a 12V Chocolate Monkie blender for Moab 2010 with flip down mini bar ... all cleverly concealed in the OEM spare location.
