Asking Santa for some stuff to keep in my Tacoma

On the list are ratchet tie downs, small tool kit, 12volt tire inflator and a tire plug kit. What else is everybody keeping behind the back seats of their trucks?

 

I would highly recommend getting a tire inflator that runs off the battery.

$100 NOCO GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Jump Starter Battery Pack, Battery Booster, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 6.0L Gasoline and 3.0L Diesel Engines

NOCO GB40.

$103 VIAIR 88P Portable Compressor Kit (12V, 120 Psi, Forup to 33" Tires)

VIAIR 88P under the seat. Tire patch kit (like you said you want) that may only just get me out of the far-beyond but is there. I should get a folding saw. A towel wraps a 4-D-cell flashlight to pacify unruly passengers.

 

Throwaway pistol

 

Golf clubs, lol. I have jumper cables, small socket set, paper towels, yellow jacket,
tie down straps and bungee cords
gloves scraper in the winter

 

Vacuum bag with spare clothes, jacket, socks

 

I put a GB40 in both my vehicles and got them for my adult children too.
Jumper cables aren’t worth a crap if you don’t have someone who will give you a jump. I learned that the hard way when me, my wife and kids got stranded in a full parking lot and nobody would help us.

My folding saw can make unruly passengers disappear.

 

Give yourself and your family a set of these as stocking stuffers:

$16 National Hardware N263-081 Bungee Cords with Carabiner 2 Pack Tie Down Straps with Adjustable Length, Useful as Car Hooks, Truck Accessories and Garage Organization, Black

I actually use them more often than my ratchet straps, but I always carry a set of both. (4 straps, 2 of those bungees).

Also, folding trunk organizer:

$17 Drive - Car Trunk Organizer - Collapsible, Multi-Compartment Automotive SUV Car Organizer for Storage w/Adjustable Straps - Truck & Car Accessories for Women and Men - Grey

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F9IS2Y8/

I carry it behind the rear seat along with grocery sacks. Again, a frequent use item and extremely handy for getting the occasional glass-bottled purchase safely home.



Everyone always chimes in with the recovery stuff, which is great to have and to show off ( I actually used my Viair88 to assist the boss yesterday), but dont forget the small organizationals. Those are lifesavers too ^^^

That's awful. I always try to stop and help, but I stopped lending my cables to do so, and now my GB40 is the first thing I assist with. I have run across so many people who will ignore advice and do the wrong thing with jumpers, and I don't want my truck toasted for being nice.

I still carry cables - the last person I jumped was a box truck making a delivery. I told him to get in his truck and push the starter when I give the signal - he happily listened, so I happily hooked up my cables. But the GB40 is still my first choice.

 

Stop raiding my glovebox. And no, you can't have an Oreo either.

 

I’m weening myself off Oreos and hitting the pecan shortbreads for Christmas, anyways. So, there

 

You know Santa isn't real.....

 

Yes he is.

 

Pack of smokes to pay homeless people to watch your shit. Give them a few loose ones, then tell them they get the whole pack when you get back.
