In my bed box:

A length of pipe
Tow chain taken off a rollback when I used to tow
Tow strap
25 ft. length of chain with hooks on each end
Toolbox with sockets, wrenches, and screwdrivers
Heavy duty scissors jack (Don't trust my original bottle jack)
Two blankets
Knife
A Power Probe III electrical tester (very useful tool)
Old pair of overalls
Gloves and ski mask
Magnetic flashlight so I don't have to hold it
Rope
Bungee cords
Ratchet straps
Hose clamps and other small parts
WD-40
Starting Fluid
