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!

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)
