Time Tested Tips for Toolbox Tools?
This is bound to go down as one of the "least technical" threads on here ... 
But out of curiousity -- what do you guys choose to put in your built-in toolbox?
Mine came with a tow chain and lug wrench. Also a flare kit.
I've tucked 40' of rope and a large folded tarp. My toolbox doesn't lock so can't put anything TOO pricey in there.
What do you guys have?
Anyone ever have anyone mess with their toolbox???

The key lock can be replaced really easy... if you look under the handle it had a nut on the back of it. I bet replacements are easy to find anywhere they sell trailer hardware.

may want to pull yours and compare them, but they are out there.

I personally don't carry tools in my vehicles, but I'm **** about keeping my rigs maintained.
You should at least carry the minimum tools required to: 1) Change a tire. 2) Replace a V-belt. 3) Change a set of points. Remember to pack SAE and not metric.
