    I go to Sam's Club/Costco and get 4 of those huge buckets of pickles, and I dump them in the toolbox. That way I have a fresh snack when hunger strikes.

    I put my cap on today for the winter :cool:...so the toolbox was taken off and replaced with a plastic foot locker-type box. The chainsaw with an 18" bar doesn't fit though so it's just in the back now, but most of the stuff that was in the toolbox otherwise got moved over.

    Recover straps
    Shackles
    Tie down straps
    bungee cords
    cable ties
    Misc bolts and wire connectors/ shrink tube and fuses
    misc tools (sockets, wrenches, pliers)
    A few lighters
    Misc ammo (lead/steel, 9mm, 243, and 30-06 usually)
