Toolbox List

Thanks, dude. I've been looking for one like that but don't make it so Sears much. I'll be buying one this weekend.

 

you wont be disaponted, I cant believe how well its set up. It was perfect for what I needed

 

Have a good american made or columbian machete handy. A machete can be used for all kinds of cool stuff. blaze trails, clear campsites, harvest sugarcane and pot, dig, overturn thrid world dictatorships, and etc. Don't buy those three dollar ones, they suck, get an Ontario knife or have one brought back from columbia. Those guys know their machete shit. I also carry a Wyeth-Scott power puller for recovery: https://www.wyeth-scott.com/index.asp

I also like to cary a chain and a strap. Chains dont get cut.

 

Thats true about the machete hahah. But those look sicker when the leather cases are mounted to the side of the seat where it's easy to reach. Ive seen a machete in a case set up like that in a z71 tahoe before

 

ive got more of a recovery box.(its a rubbermaid box)

recovery strap
bloody tarp
hatchet
axe
shears
rope
string
knife
extra wires??
4 way lug wrench
some misc. tools that dont fit anything on my truck
spare lug nuts for my old jeep
fire extinguisher
come a long
recovery strap with hooks(pulling trees out of the way)
i think my remote for my stolen winch is in there also..lol
military fold up shovel

i think thats about it. As you can tell, this thing has just moved from vehicle to vehicle, and i dont clean it out

 

When I had a toolbox on my Dakota I had the following:

Jumper Cables
Hi-Lift Jack
2 - shovels (so a buddy can help dig out )
MRE's
Bottled Water
Tow Strap
Air Tank
12 volt air compressor
12 volt impact wrench
Chain
4 way lug wrench
Tool bag (sockets, wrenches, hammer, screwdrivers, etc)
Blanket
Rope
Shackles

 

I have just a shoe box locked to a tie down but it's got plenty....

• Recover Straps
• Bungees
• ratchet straps
• 100' of P-cord
• assorted sockets (metric and SAE)
• Screwdrivers
• pliers/vise grips
• very comprehensive 1st aid kit
• a couple of lighters
• a couple of knives
• firestarting materials (cardboard, sawdust and even shotgunshells for the powder(or to kill shit with))
• Flashlights
• planks of wood to set bottle jack on
• jumper cables
• various electrical connections & electrical tape/fuses
• gloves
• E-tool

I'm sure there's more in there but I just can't think what right now

 

I left one in my backseat onetime and was coming home from work. The trooper that pulled me over ran my ar15 and my carry pistol to see if they were stolen. When he found the machete, he shit in his pants and called his boss. Apparently its illegal to keep one in the cab in Texas. So check first.

They let me go. I apparently matched the description of a drug dealer in a white dodge dually with a cattle trailer on the back with a roping horse in it. The hardware freaked barney out a little.

 

my dad got him and I each one of these:


well made tool

 

I just remembered that astronaut had a bunch of supplies in her car too. Do not wear adult diapers and carry ductape, rope and sleeping pills. If you wear adult diapers just join AAA.

 

I always see them in american rifleman, how much do they run?
they look cool

 

A shovel, I always have one cause I didn't like getting stuck.

 

A shovel is great. Its not considered a weapon either.

 

I'd love to see someone keep a machete in their truck around here. After the cops stop shooting to reload, maybe you'll have a chance to surrender.

 

that's sad. this isn't somalia yet.

 

I'm no cop hater by any means (I outgrew that phase about 20 years ago) but some of the dumbest cops on earth are right here in Horry County. Even the 3 cops in my family would agree.

 

I really like the fishing pole. You also you might want to consider an emregency supply of drinking water.

 

I never have been. I would just hate to be somewhere where the police shoot first. I dont think we have that here yet.

 

the wood handle one is about $90, the leather handle one is about $100. Ive used it to cut small brush and big limbs too works great.

 

here's what I've got in mine thus far:

-road flares
-2 boxes of chem lights
-hammer
-bolt cutters
-fix a flat
-tire repair kit
-an extra set of belts for the engine (ran about 45 bucks)
-heavy duty gloves
-tire chain
-ratchet straps
-sawsall (that kinda accidentally got in there lol)
-mag lite
-poncho (always a good choice)
-550 cord
-duct tape
- extra bottle of power steering fluid, brake fluid, gallon of antifreeze, and an extra quart of 5w-30
-adjustable wrench
-socket wrench w/ sockets
-20ft jumper cables
-50ft extension cord (for the block heater)
-high temp silicone gasket stuff

....thats about all I've got in mine, but always adding little odds and ends to it

any suggestions?
