    I got a nice big socket set, 2 hatchets, 2 machetes, 2 shovels, some fireworks lol, jumper cables, 8000lbs cable winch puller thing, another bag full of tools, tie down straps, bungee cords, some oil, transfer case fluid, first aid kit, sleeping bag, flashlights, batteries, and a lot of other strange things

    seems like anytime i use something, or can think of something i need i just throw it in there

    my tool set sits in the back of my cab..mainly cause it doesnt fit in my ammocans. think i might try to consolidate it (read: put all the metrics in the cans, and leave the standard sockets in my apt.)
