O.K. now, besides condoms, list what you carry in your truck for emergencies. I'm gonna start filling my box with gear.


FIRST ON RACE DAY!!!!!

 

Basic tool kit, chain, first aid kit, and a bunch of stuff related to my work.

It might be a good idea to have emer.flairs,reflector kit. I think its still required in some states. I think they're a good
thing to have anyway. Just incase.

In mine I have spare parts, tools, oil and coolant. I also have a 26gal. fuel tank mounted under it with the filler tube in the tool box. I also put the jack in there.

 

Adjustable wrench, vice-grips, phillips and flat head drivers, decent set of sockets / ratchet, and some choke spray.

 

Tools of course, jumper cables, chain, jack and lug wrench, oil, jug of water, can of gas, set of work clothes (brake down one day in your nice clothes and that will make lots of sense to you) and a fire extinguisher (want to loose your baby to an electrical fire or something worse?). And that's about all I can think of for now.

Besides what everyone else has listed i allways carry bailing wire duct tape extra hose clamps and belts lots of water and I agree with the work cloths its nice to change into something to keep nice cloths nice! oh! a box of ruber gloves helps to stay clean too!
I mainly end up using most of what i carry helping out other people jumpers and water the most
but allways be prepared to have fun too! maybe somethings like a frisbee and swiming stuff is allways good
oh yeah fisrt aid kits a major plus!!

With all the gear everybody’s suggested, I think you’re gonna need another tool box! Seriously, the only other things I would suggest are some shop rags, paper towels and some waterless hand cleaner. Truck rope and a tarp would be handy. Maybe a bucket or container too. I like the Silver Bullet suggestion.

H'mmmm - the most IMPORTANT tool I keep in mine is an extra 6 pack of Coors light (California Kool-Aid). And don't forget ole' Sparky...

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 13-Jul-01 AT 03:12 PM (EST)[/font][p]Only got two tools in my toolbox, all I ever need.

A hammer and a big hammer.

If something needs fixin I go at it with the hammer.
If that don't fix it I go at it with the big hammer.
That usually fixes it but good.

 

Guys, its Colorado Kool-Aid, and the only things that you truly need in your truck is.....Duct Tape!!!!!
And everything else mentioned in the other messages.
