    I'm in the process of building a bag of tools to keep with me in the truck at all times, though mostly for off-roading. What are some essential tools and parts y'all'd keep with you in the truck?

    yep..
    I started making one of these too. So far i have some common metric sockets (10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 22mm and some more for good measure) a pipe to be used as a breaker bar plus levering on things, socket extensions, a big & small flathead screwdriver, ratchet straps, siphon hose, hose clamps, tire plug kit, pressure gauge, compressor, zip ties, duct tape, JB weld 5 min epoxy, rope, metal wire, fuses, some 12ga wire, electrical tape. I know I'm forgetting something else..

    A lot of essentials mentioned. I'd add a spare knife, pliers, and a vice grip or two. I've been pleasantly surprised at how many tools fit in soft toolbag behind my rear seat. You really don't have to be too selective.

    That’s a good list of items to carry with you. I carry a similar load out but adjust for where I am traveling. The new mini lithium ion jumpers are awesome. Tire plugs and small compressor are essential. Even for helping out others along the way. Long breaker bar and socket for wheels is 100 times better than the lug wrench supplied. Small first aid kit and headlamp. A reflective triangle or led road flare in case of hwy breakdown and a safety vest for you.

    Definitely need a 10mm socket.
    I also like needle nose pliers, Chanel lock pliers, phillips head and flat head screwdriver, and electrical tape.

    Pretty good list so far. I would add a BFH(big F@#$%ing hammer) for fine tuning of delicate parts that resist other forms of adjustment.

    I'd add a 21mm socket for the lug nuts, and a 24" breaker bar.

    That's actually the only tools I have in my truck, but I don't take it off road.
