What do you keep in your Pelican 1650 Case?

Just like the title says, my van has a U-Joint rear bumper with a pelican case. Currently it just has a bag with a set of jumper cables in it.

I would like to get it set up to keep some tools, spares, etc in but I am having a hard time visualizing how best to use the space. I can make up some wood or metal shelves no problem, would love to see what others have done.

One thing I would like to get is a decent jack. I probably don't need a high lift for what I do, but I would like to get something better than stock that will raise an Econoline on 37s a decent height for doing tire changes.

How do you use your Pelican case?

Loaded question, but the simple answer is if you are confident and have some mechanical aptitude, there is a lot...if not, a current Credit Card!
This may help identify some of the stuff people carry:

You have more space in the large Pelican than I do with the smaller Aliminess box; Bulk of the room in mine houses a Honda EU2200 generator, some oil(s), Diesel fuel additives, couple tarps, and a small step ladder. Other than the Generator I rarely use, it's immitted to toxic stuff I prefer not stay in the van.

Hummer scissor jack w/ agile off-road adapter, shackle receiver, soft shackles, kinetic rope, tow strap. No shelving yet so everything is kind of tetris-ed in such a way it mostly stays in place when I open the door.

And then I use a quick fist mount on the back side of the molle panel for a full size shovel.

Speaking of molle panels, Pelican offers a bolt on insert for the lid of that case. Might be another useful organizational tool.

^^^^good point- Owl Vans also offers several box bolt-on’s that you could explore (for both inside and outside the box). Theirs were designed more for their aluminum boxes, but don’t see why they could be bolted internally as well.
