Truck essentials?

For $10 it's worth a try.

It does, but a tire repair kit is used 1st and then that. If I were you, I would seriously look at on board air.

 

Man, this essential stuff is getting a little up there in cost haha. Maybe I'll look for a little compressor on CL.

 

It can for sure. Most of the stuff have has take years to acquire and is a never ending constant battle with adding more stuff. CL is a good source and since you still have some time it will probably yield some good stuff.

 

This is how I feel about my garage and tools.

 

at the rate this thread is going i think you should ditch the stuff in the truck and just get a trailer to haul it all around!

 

Maybe a box van would be better?

 

Like one of those dodge or mercedes tall vans? I drove one when I picked up bodies. Even had a sleeper in the rear. It would make the perfect mobile trapping/fur shed if it was 4wd and more ground clearance.

 

If on a budget, why get a compressor. Just get a foot pump.

 

I like the way you think. Just got done cutting up a bunch of 4x4 lumber with a hand saw. got my exercise for the day

 

I only have a few essentials.

A variety pack of bungee cords.
6 light-duty ratchet straps
A bungee-net to cover the whole bed if its filled with soft stuff
A trailer hitch and 7-pin adapter

Haven't had a need for much else.

 

Once I buy all this crap to keep in my truck, I'm likely to get bummed if I don't get to use it. I can't win.

 

Trust me, you'll find any excuse to use it lol

 

gallon of quick set JB weld....done and done.

 

Might as well throw some condoms and Vaseline in there as well.

 

This is a nice little trick from my friend who grew up in PA. Get an empty metal coffee can and keep a big candle in it for the winter months. Then if shit goes real south, it'll provide a little heat and light.

 

I have two tow straps -- one with hook and one with loops- jumper cables (I've jumped more vehicles than I can even remember), a craftsman three drawer toolset, another craftsman tool box with assorted ratchet straps, spray lubes, hammer, crow bar, a clay thrower and two reactive target cubes. Not really survival ready, but it's a mobile tool shed more than anything. I DO need to get a high lift and put a spare CV in the truck

 

Sounds like Red Forman's winter emergency kit.

 

Box of condoms. Cause bitches love tacomas

 

Probably not going to come across bitches while out running trap lines...

 

JB Sucks, its failed me time and time again... Epoxy is better (when zip ties are out of the question), but fiberglass mesh/resin is the ultimate fix! Not too practical for the "truck 911 kit" but in general... Just had to represent!
