What tools are in your truck

so this morning I woke up with the Damn FLU but had it in my mind to rotate my tires and install my new Spidertrax spacers from @HeadStrong Off-Road so I powered through and got it done. While i doing it I thought it would be a good idea layout my tools and show what I had in my bag. That nice little compartment behind the passenger seat stores a great canvas bag I got from my local outdoor shop that fits perfect. So here is what I keep in my bag.

 

What is the item on the bottom row , 4th from the right ?
Oh , now I see they are L end wrenches !

 

All

Allen key set I think

 

In-between the electrical tape and side cutters looks like Allen keys.

 

You need a set of Torx heads for your wrench - HF to the rescue.

 

Yep , a set of Allen wrenches

 

Single torx with extension below 1/2” wrench in upper right

 

Didn’t take a pic of how it sat before but here is how it stands now. Flush with outside of fender well now looks so much better now.

 

What size Torx?

Small role of bailing wire and a Gerber multi-tool?

Fruit cocktail too!

 

None. A perk of driving a new vehicle

 

I just bought this metric mechanics set at Lowes for $20:



"Normal price" was $40.

 

This, plus booster cables, hatchet, army shovel, tow strap, clevis, flares, first aid kit, tie-downs, .......

That bout does it..!

 

A four way lug wrench and hydraulic jack.

 

I've gotta get some duct tape for the truck. I forget about things until I need it.

 

Mine:
That's all I need.

 

Totally Macgyver



BTW where did you get that knife?

 

These are the tools I had in my truck back when I was maintaining a mountain bike, dirtbike, and my truck, and all I had was barracks room:

 

I've got a lot of stuff.
Sockets from 8mm to 35mm in 1/4 3/8 1/2 drive. Whatever I have shallow I often have in deep as well. All deep are impact rated and will soon be carrying a 600lbs rated battery torque wrench

Two sets of combo box and open end wrenches from 10mm to 19mm one set ratcheting one non

Ball pein hammer
Two different pry bar. 16 inch and 24 inch
14" and 24" breaker bar
Multi screw driver
Linesmen pliers
Side cutters
Channel locks
Extending magnet
Ratchet extensions
50lb-130lbs torque wrench (when on trail)
JB weld high heat and metal weld
Allen keys sockets
Probably some other stuff I'm missing.

Everything is packed under the rear seats. I posted a pic in a previous thread on this.

 

Probably Amazon. It's a Victorinox and my every day carry. I use one for five years or so and then get a new one just like it. I've had red, orange, green (lost it because... green) black and now yellow haha. They sharpen, hold an edge and are a great little knife for $40 or so. It's also a lock blade. Been carrying one for 30 years.

 

Packin’ my bored/stroked/piped 3120xp on the trails. Big tree might get in the way. Na, but it does ride in the bed strapped down to a craftsman work mate table loud and proud when I take it to lumberjack jamborees during the summer season.
