No, this isn't a Capital One ad.

Just the obligatory thread-for-newbies (of which I am one). What tools do you carry around in your truck, and why? Do you think they're something 1) everyone, 2) trail riders, or 3) hardcore 4-wheelers who fix *other* people's trucks in the Mojave need to be carrying.

And, if you can, where'd you get it, and how much did it cost?

 

1-bottle Jack Daniels,assorted wrenches pliers etc,flares,tie down straps,tow chain,fire exstinguisher,glovers and coveralls,flashlight,duct tape and mechanics wire.(note JD is for emergencys only)

 

I carry enough tools to do just about any repair necessary, even have an ODBII scanner in there.

 

I carry a fox hole shovel, machete', recovery strap, tow bar for towing a trailer, fist aid kit, gloves, bungee straps, rope, safety glass's, roll of Duct tape.
All of this fits in the two side storage bins and the storage bin in the cargo door next to the sub woofer.

 

Sometimes I carry a shotgun if I'm out in the country at our property.
