Default Emergency tools, fluids etc. in your trunk.

Just wondering if there's anything I can buy to keep **** from moving around in my trunk. I would like to leave a qt of oil, coolant, misc tools in my trunk just in case, but it's annoying when they slide back and forth when making turns. I'd rather not keep the stuff under my seats either. Does Honda make anything like this? I have a 99 hatchback btw. Pics of your setups would be nice.

What exactly is the name of this part pictured so I can look it up?

Any other ones you guys suggest? I was kind of looking for a box type one.

I can fit a quart of oil perfectly in the trunk where the jack is.

you could make a little box that you could tie to something in the trunk, like in a corner or something. Milk crate seems like a good idea to me.

Yeah I might put my imagination to use and try to make something out of some wood I have laying around before I go out and buy something.

What about the OEM Honda Trash Can? Dont know if you could fit coolant in there, but like a quart of oil and a couple of wrenches should fit.

My other idea would just be the milk box

I ended up using a USPS 12"x12"x12" shipping box and attaching some velcro to the bottom. It holds great onto the carpet.

As far as tools go why not wedge them between the passenger seat and the rear seats(where a passengers legs would go).
