Must have items for your truck

LOL actually they are pretty good. The wife has had tires changed and for battery jumps. I would not hesitate to have them come and change a tire. I'm paying for a service and gwatdammit I want it......

 

In my truck at all times:

Surefire 6P LED
Ruger P89
Jacket
Water
Leatherman
Maps
Compass

I figure whatever else I don't have, I can acquire through use of the P89

 

I carry a lot of things mentioned here but I didn't see a bag of oil-dry absorbency pellets...very good to carry around during the winter

 

Lots of all the same stuff as everyone else; tie downs, simple tools, flares, couple rags, some bandaids, mouthwash....

and a full size Kong dog bed... complete with Cedar shaving filling. WAY BETTER THAN ANY AIR FRESHENER.

 

Nothing compares to the smell of cedar. It's glorious.

 

Thread revival...

I see a lot of people packing air compressors. Are you guys carrying to type that are built into those jumper packs?

 

I have added a machete under the driver's seat in case the need arises. Sharpened and lightly oiled.

 

I say the Weathertechs were a must, I really think the factory suspension is poop, so an Old Man Emu setup with a new set of uppers is tits, and rides like they should from the showroom. The foglights anytime mod is a must. I also really think the Weathertech vent shades are good to have if you live somewhere hot. there are other items that are only a must if you like toting your big dogs around with you, and kids... Seat covers, camper top and windex, as they both like to lick windows... A bedmat is also a must, once you get one you will wonder why you did not get it earlier. I say if you wheel alot and hit trails a cb is a must. Most of the items I have listed are relative to me

 

I just added a backpack to my truck. the contents are
-1 change of clothes, shirt, jeans, socks, boxers
