    just for fun, I started loading up the tool box today, and this is what I have so far.

    recover strap with 2 shackles and tree saver.
    scissors
    knife
    hammer
    hatchet
    emergency blanket
    lighter
    measuring tape
    road flare
    safety vest
    trouble light that connects to the battery for power.
    power inverter


    I think that's it for right now, any good ideas?

    All great things to have...but keep in mind, anything over the bare essentials is a lot of wasted gas and power, IMHO. I'd definitely grab that box for an off-road trip, but for day to day stuff a basic tool kit, the factory jack (if it still reaches), a roll of shop towels, and some basic electrical items are light and useful. Try to grab things that could do double duty...IE, wire can be used for wire, or to tie things up in a pinch.

    I keep a set of sockets and a ratchet in my toolbox along with most of the stuff you had listed, it's in a hard plastic case a little smaller than this laptop i'm using right meow. I've also got pliers, vice grips, screwdrivers. I figure it'll come in handy when my friend's danger Ranger breaks down. (We all know a Taco isn't gonna crap out anytime soon)

    thanks guys! I agree, i don't wanna load it up too much! I think I'll throw some ratchet straps, and a first aid kit and jumper cables, that'll be about it!

    What model is that? I've never seen the UWS like that. I know Delta makes one.

    its the tbs54spla. actually its made for the stepside midsize trucks like the s10 that has closer rails. turns out to fit like a glove on the DC wheel wells.

    There was a toolbox on my truck before my grandpa passed it on to me. But I took it off. Still have it though, thinking about eventually putting it back on.

    Kept going back and forth on a black 42" UWS chest that Amazon had as an open box special for $262. I saw last night that they dropped the price to $229 so I grabbed it. Hopefully it's in one piece!

    Well, my UWS 42" wedge chest finally came in. Fits PERFECT, like it was made for the truck. Wish it was about 2" shorter to be flush with the bed, but it'll work for my needs, the extra space is always nice. Bolted to the front of the bed.

    Most places say this won't fit a 1st gen taco, but my tape measure said otherwise. Here's the final answer!
