New truck, New member

What's up fellas. I just purchased my first brand new vehicle a new 2015 DCSB pre runner last week so it only feels right that i join you guys on here. I'm looking forward to spending a long time with this truck and this forum.

I upgraded from a 2006 reg cab colorado and i'm still getting used to all the hidden storage in the double cabs. I only have one question for you guys, what essentials do you keep in your double cab tacos? Besides obvious things like a first aid kit, jumper cables, tools. I would be willing to bet some of you guys have some creative (and useful) goodies stashed away.

 

Welcome, and pics or it didn't happen. Personally I don't carry anything in my storage bins behind the seat, I have the JBL and the bass from the sub would just make it rattle anyway.

 

Welcome to TW

Besides things you mentioned, hi lift jack, smaller shovel, recovery straps and shackles; especially now that winter is coming. Good chance to make some money recovering friends and stuck motorists

You carrying that in a Ford, Chevy or Dodge?

 

Carry them for me but used to help others, I'm a giver and like to be prepared on the trail and almost all of it fits in a bag on one side othe the under seat back storage. Also tow straps shackles dildo and some chain

 

Guess the engine hoist will start coming with me now

 

If that's the case, I'll have a good list to go off of for my next wheelin trip..gonna have a Chevy and potentially one if not 2 jeeps..sigh..

 

I don't touch trannys

 

I know, for a minute I thought I was on a vintage Ford or Chevy site. Maybe he lives in an area where he helps a lot of Ford & GM guys?
