tool bag.....?
OK so I've decided to make a tool kit for the truck, this is a list of tools to have in an emergency. Like I'll start and you can add.
3/8 long socket and drive for the glow plugs
Extra hose and clamps for leaking fuel lines
5/8 hex fuel line wrench if needed to help replace leaking install kit.
Tow strap/ winch
Extra IP install kit.
Fire extinguisher....
Extra drive belts

I have a truckbox and so keep a full kit with me. With this, I can do just about anything aside from the heads:
1. Stubby wrench set
2. Reg wrench set
3. Pliers set
4. Vice grips(2x)
5. Screwdriver set
6. Socket set with case - 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 drive
7. Hex bit to socket drive adaptors
8. DeWalt Impact driver, 20V lithium
9. Multimeter
10. Misc odds and ends: Wire, Zip-ties, screws, drill-bit set etc.
Of course, once you have this with you, you won't actually break down and /need/ it.

Add in wire strippers and electrical tape as well.
Strap wrench and spare fuel filter would be a good idea as well.
Spare fuses are a good idea, and a spare flasher too. Possibly some replacement fuseable links since at least the bricknose trucks have a lot of fuseable links at the starter relay.
A metal coathanger is a valuable tool as well. Not only can it be used to hang coats, but can also work wonders when exhaust hangers break. Or, it can be straightened out and ever so carefully used to hit the door lock button, or looped over the inside door handle on the occasion of locking your keys inside the truck.
