What do you have?

What all do you guys have in your trucks on a daily basis. I'm talking about any random stuff just in case, certain tools spare parts etc. Just thought it would be interesting to hear what everyone carries around in there vehicles daily. Just post your vehicle and what you normally have in it.

Here's mine

1996 Ford Bronco
Set of wrenches, screwdrivers, misc. Tools, extra coolant, old radiator hose that leaks but still works (just in case), jumper cables, basic tire repair kit, wd-40, hammer, 2 rolls of duct tape, 1 roll of tp, general purpose sealant, general assortment of nuts and bolts, shovel, baseball bat, old pair of shoes, spotlight, machete, headlamp, flashlight, funnel, work light, extra fuses, flare gun, tarp, sleeping bag, rope, and that's pretty much all I can think of right now.

I don't keep anything in my truck around town but when I travel I carry a tool kit, duct tape, jumpers, air pump, tire gauge, flash light in the truck and the tool kit, cell phone charger, a cig lighter my Garmin and a safety triangle.

I keep all of the these things in my daughter's car as she travels back and forth frequently.

When the temps dip, I place a blanket in each vehicle with a couple bottles of water.

In my 82 F150 I have two bottle jacks (last time I remember they are both shot), a quart of transmission fluid (recently found out the modulator is shot reason why the transmission fluid is going down), a breaker bar and thats about it.

What used to be my daily driver my 78 Mercury, as of now its just a bumper jack, tire iron, and a vehicle pack with jumper cables, first aid kit, road flares, etc. The spare has been on my 56 Fairlane for going on a year and three months.
