Tools that you carry in your truck

[Chrismnj]

Does anyone still carry tools in your truck for quick repair? or is too old school? Let's see who and what, could be a whole set or something you put (pieced) together by yourself.

Less tools, more extraction and survival stuff.

I have a 70-lb(ish) foot locker in the cargo area of my Burb.

Small set of basic tools - wrenches, sockets, pliers, wire cutters, screwdrivers, etc)
Machete
4-lb mini sledge

If I know I'm going to be in more remote areas, like the Upper Peninsula, or offroading, then yes, I'll pack a larger tool kit for possible repairs.

Biggest single thing I can recommend is carrying a spare serpentine and the socket/breaker bar for the tensioner pulley.

OBDII bluetooth Scantool, Diablo intune i3 programmer, tire pressure gauge, small extinguisher, small flashlight, loaded extra magazines for my CCW, and the factory jack/lug wrench/spare tire winch tool. Also a snow scraper/brush when in season

AAA card . Seriously tho, I don't have any room to carry anything but the factory jack and a portable air pump. But you should see what I carry around in my van!

I'm old dude!! Actually that was wishful thinking. Didn't do it this year.

+1 for Extra mags

Not necessarily for the extra ammo, but you never know when you may have a mag/ammo failure, especially when needed most... Lol

I live in St. Louis (a few miles from Ferguson... Lol)

Not sure about that area. When I used to carry, I had a 40 cal with an extended round mag for a total of 18 rds. If I couldn't hit my target within 18 rds, I had no business carrying lol. Hopefully one of the requirements for carrying concealed is qualifying with said weapon--at least once a year.

Camden, yeah--Lakewood that bad? Granted, I'm mostly on 9, so I'm not too familiar with the rest of that area.

Camden because is bad and Lakewood for aggravation.

Lol, true, true--1,000,000% agreed. They drive like shit!! Lol, the land of duct tape and black hats.

I carry a few different pistols. It all depends on what I'm wearing and the season. I only keep one extra mag (for each) in the console, thus the plural "magazines"

I bought a basic tool kit, has sockets, screwdrivers, and I put a pliers and a few other odds and ends, including a pair of mechanics gloves. I have not had to use it, just the gloves. I searched for some time to find something I could stow under the rear captain Chairs...

Thats why it's better to do your own kit with stuff that you need. If space if important.
