so what tools does everyone keep in there trucks ? I'm going to start putting together a bag of tools for my bed box and looking for suggestions.

 

Chain, ratchet straps, cheap ratchet set, adjustable wrench, vise grips, axe, sledge, spade, screwdrivers, bottle jack, blocks... that's about it for me, unless I've got something specific to do.

 

same as above except add fix a flat,long jumper cables,penetrating oil,starting fluid and a grease gun.

 

Enough tools to install a Time-sert after a popped-out sparkplug.

 

if i had a gas job that to.

 

Actually, sandman, I carry that exact stuff as well, haha.

 

I have a small tool box with basic ratchet/sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, etc. I also carry a tow rope, 4-way lug wrench, tie down straps, fix-a-flat and jumper cables. As for non-tools, don't forget gloves, rain jacket, tarp and the all important TOILET PAPER and BABY WIPES!!

 

lets see i carry all my handtools(ratchets and sockets) a breaker bar, jumper cables, pb blaster, my 8lb chevy (i mean sledge) hammer, extension cords, A/C gauges metal bender, shop vac, extra wipers, head lights and marker lights, trailer ball, d-ring and 4 ton floor jack.

 

A 1911, two clips, and a dip cup....

High viz wear, just a Carhartt tshirt, a sweatshirt, and a pair of rain bibs with reflective tape on them. And everything ya'll mentioned, but not just a bottle jack for my truck, also a 3 ton floor jack for cars, and 3 jack stands (2, 6 and 6 ton). I have a bunch of $8 saddle blankets in there too, they're always handy for something.

 

Most of the stuff mentioned along with a decent first aid kit, a shovel or two, 2 ton comealong and some recovery gear(shackles, straps, etc.) and usually some food and drink type stuff(jerky, trail mix, soda, gatoraid, etc.) that usually lasts until the kids climb in.... I also have 1 7/8" and 2" trailer ***** on seperate hitches(you can use one on a stuck vehicle's receiver hitch for a recovery point while you have the other on your truck) with pins for both.

 

Now you're talking

 

It must be nice to live in a 2A friendly state

 

You bet it is.
