    Hey All,

    I just bought a 2017 TRD OR DCSB yesterday and I'm already in love. The truck is amazing the adventures are soon to ensue. However, I believe in preparedness and am reaching out to all of you for some advice as this my first time as a truck owner. This is my daily driver so its pounding pavement a lot but on the weekend I'm generally getting out to the mountains of Colorado. So my question is what do you all carry in your truck as standard and non-negotiable "stuff"? I have already included things like jumper cables, duck tape and zip ties, but what I really want to know is all the other stuff. THANKS!

    Well if you're going to be pounding, you should at least pack some rubbers

    Sweet Jesus I haven't seen any of you guys say toilet paper yet. I think everyone needs to pause, take a step back, and re-evaluate their lives for their own safety.
