I know what when we all go wheelin' most of the time we take other equipment with us. What I would really like to know is what you carry on your Daily Driver? Like me I carry 2 Jacks(My highlift and scissor jack), 2 Tow ropes(Regular 30'I think strap and a 35' Tug boat rope), Of course must have the tools to change a tire, Jumper cables, Antifreeze container that i use to carry Water, In my glove box i have a 7mm-18mm rachet set, zip ties, flat and cross tip drivers, pliers, my Mechanics Gloves, and a rag. Might have other little things i cant remember but those are the important things.

I carry my tool box (everything from wire nuts to wrenches ect.) My full socket set, gallon of water, 2 tow straps, small military shovel, toilet paper, bottle jack, pocket knife, and a quart of oil. All just in case... Most of these items have saved my a$$ a time or two on and off the trail... especially the full tool set, never know when you need nit-picky things...

Hmm, lets see. Right now the firebird is the dd and I don't think I have a single thing in it. I took the spare and jack out and the jumper cables are in the 4-runner. The only "tools" I have in it is the key for the lug nuts. If something ever happens to it i'm SOL.

THATS BS its bad enough your rig is stuck and after all the walking to come back to that there needs to be old fashion justice like a lynching or something

I didnt see anyone comming out, but that dosent mean anything because there are 2 ways in and out of where I was stuck, so they could have just taken the way out that I wasnt on And although I did loose 600+ dollars of stuff I am glad they didnt get the truck. Tools and stereos can be replaced, its a little harder to find another truck like the one you loose. Even if you put the exact same setup on it, it would never be quite the same. As for the lynching, lol, maybe a little extream, but maybe the old fashion removal of the hand for stealing thing, they would be alive, but think twice before taking anything again.

I keep as little as possible in my truck(81' Trekker) as I live in a crappy neighborhood full of punk kids and would hate to come out and find my stuff ripped off like Shibby's. I have to transfer what I need for the woods as I leave each morning. Although it is a DD I also use it to get back and forth to the deer stand. I think it may be a little short and not have enough horses for anything serious.
