Essential Truck Stuff

[Pooge]

Everyone has bragged about their trucks and all of the exterior features they have added so how about sharing what you keep in your truck. Essential gear so to speak. MBeeler and I joke about it alot because we are freaks when it comes to this kind of thing. So I will start with the contents of my mobile command center: (Once a Boy Scout, always a Boy Scout...) lol :)

14ft Jumper Cables
15ft 7000lb Tow Strap
Bungee Cord Assortment
Multi Purpose Cable Ties
Duct Tape (of course)
Electrical Tape
Rope (a few different styles actually)
Fuses
Knive / Multi Purpose Tool
Thermos
Coffee Mug
Ear Plugs
Travel Alarm Clock (because you just never know when the old lady might make you sleep in your home away from home)
Sleeping Bag / Camp Pillow
First Aid Kit
Power Inverter
Flashlight / Extra Batteries
CD's
Shop Rags
GPS
Gloves / Hat / Rain Gear
Water
Matches / Lighter

Believe it or not, all of this does not take up much space at all... Packed nicely in all of the nooks and crannies and in a rubbermaid box in the back (thanks to my new locking removable tonneau cover)

What am I missing besides the kitchen sink?

Jumper cables, fix a flat, 1 gallon anti freeze & stop leak, flashlight (several), several ratchet straps & tie downs, bungee assortment, plug in tire inflator, my favorite coffee cup, thermos, extra gloves, jacket, insurance card, cd's,....etc, etc........

I need a good dog.... Then my truck will be complete....

We are getting ready to buy a new house so I may actually have room to get a good dog. Of course, one of the kids will have to sleep outside but thats ok... :)

I go with calling people that own trucks like Pooge!

Let's see, my truck has a set of $5 jumper cables, $200 worth of ammo, about 20 different knives, camo, hunting gear of all types, 7 gloves on dashboard (all left hand :confused: ), dog box, dirty coffee cup, leashes, flashlight and several cans of dog food.
I'm afraid to look under the seat. :eek:

You can comfortably sleep two dogs around each kid without any additional room.

WBBP, you are ready for bear season without a doubt.

[RUTNUT]

Keep Loading And Unloading Depending On What Season It Is. What Ever Season It Is I Load Everything I Need And Keep It In The Truck Until The Season Is Over.

[WBBP]

Highbow:

I didn't get all this stuff together for bear season. I got it together to fend of Multidigits :eek:

The secondary reason is to make sure Lab-Lover, Cornbread, Skindog, and Roostemfirst don't slip in on my property. I am working on a set of thermal sights mounted on a milk crate since I heard all these guys do their best work at night! :D

You forgot the SAW (squad automatic weopon) capable of putting out what 700 rouds per minute of .223 ammo. Also a dragon wouldn't be a bad idea or an AT-4 I think you can get them both in the guided versions now but the AT-4 is $4,000 a shot.

[WBBP]

Cobbhunts: Damn, I meant to add the SAW to the collection. I decided against the AT-4 since I had already added the hell-fire missile.

Keep in touch.

for a while I didn't think anyone was gonna mention TP! Thats the most important thing any truck could have!

[JP]

LMAO...you guys are too funny....but.....did you leave room for the beer cooler. If the truck breaks down, I get stuck, the ol' lady throws me out, and I need my SAW....there dam sure better be some beer. We're gonna need a trailor.

[P. Beyer]

Oh'.....I got Crew Packs From the railroad (Had a buddy work there a while ago), they got TP, handi-wipes, lotion, band aid, etc..........Every thing you could need in a handy pouch. I keep several in the truck, Turkey vest, 4-wheeler, and Deer day-pack.
