    Some really cool shit
    I started out trying to do that with my Plano, but I had too much shit. Had to take out most of the foam to get everything I wanted into the damn box.

    The foam also makes it easy to tell if you left something lying around on a trailside repair.

    How much are you carrying? In the tool box, I have an impact, 2 batteries, 1/2" impact socket set, 3/8" impact socket set, misc impact chucks and bits, 3 extensions, 35 mm impact socket, breaker bar, various ratchets, dead blow, and a large torque wrench. This paired with misc screw drivers and a smaller socket set in the car, I should be able to do most trail side repairs.

    The parts box will have a spare rear drive shaft, all ITR and OTRs, extra lower ball joints, misc. bolts(lower ball joint, alignment cam, wheel studs, etc.), recover gear and straps, extra alternator, and a bigger impact (Dewalt 899).

    With all this, I'm not sure what else I need to bring. If anything breaks bigger than what I have in those two boxes, I probably have bigger problems than just not having the parts or tools required to fix it.

    I'd say to add drive belts and radiator hoses. Cheap enough to buy and could be stuck without them on the trail.

    You have 2 though, yeah? I'm overall happy with it all, just wish I could've mounted it lower and closer to the roof rack.

    Anyone have a recommended collision center in the Bay Area? Preferably in or around Walnut Creek and/or Livermore.

    Prius. Wish it was the 4Runner. Either way, not too bad at all and neither parties were hurt
