I just redid the interior of my Blazer and for the first time I feel like I can keep some valuable stuff in there and not worry about it getting stolen. Between the Tuffy console with the lock on it and the alarm I just installed, I feel tons safer. The question is mainly for the daily driver guys I guess. What I plan on doing is preparing a big box full of spare parts that I'll just have in the truck when I go offroad. What I'm trying to do now is figure out what to keep in the truck 24/7. I already gathered up some basic tools, fuses, duct tape, etc. What do you guys never leave home without? TIA

Chevy good...Ford bad
 
Never take my mag light out of my truck.. Come-along, Recovery strap, Hi-lift jack.. chained and locked down,
And extra fluids.. and a lockable storage box.. which I'm going to bolt down to the rear of the truck.


Round Rock, Texas I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work. <a target="_blank" href=http://www.rocko.rockcrawler.com>www.rocko.rockcrawler.com</a>
 
I usually carry a few light bulbs, some wire and crimp connectors, a roll of Scotch 33, a couple short pieces of heater and fuel hose, spare belts, a fuel filter, a cap/rotor/module, and most recently, I added a rear driveline to my spare parts repertoire

I also always carry 2 gallons of water, a forest service pulaski axe, an EMS jump bag, a couple blankets, fusees, a strobe light, a change of clothes, and a whole bunch of other stuff!

A basic tool set, Jumper cables, a quart or two of oil, a first aid kit to go with the tool set (my truck likes to see me bleed), gloves for after i need the first aid kit, jack, four way lug wrench, some chain, rope, a couple flashlights, im sure theres a few other things that "live" in my truck but those are the most important things that are always in there.

Dang, Denver75!!! I'll take a wild stab and say you don't use much garage space?

I carry this stuff scattered around the cab and in a big ole tub:
heavy duty chain
light duty chain
heavy duty tow cable
3 or 4 different size/shape hitches
cross-bar
work(mud) boots
a couple sets of work gloves
300lbs of tools
matches
Holy Bible
digital volt meter
power invertor
cordless drill
a big box of various electrical connectors/wire
(2) 2-way radios
Haynes manual
beef jerky
CB
fuses
work lights
various cargo straps
tape measure
hunting knife
come-along
Motor oil, ATF, Power steering fluid, coolant
and an assortment of empty coffee/big gulp cups.

I lightened the load this weekend, though. Now I just have beef Jerky and big gulp cups all over the place. Helps take away the appeal of stealing it...

For about a month in there, it was 5 kittens and a momma cat :)

Currently, a spare tire. Then again, my truck still not driven more than 20' at a time.

Thanks Jackson, I thought that I was the only one here remembering one of the "must carry" items: A fire extenguisher. Insurance to protect your investment (K5) and for that poor old soul who's carb just backfired and now it's aflame. Hi-Lift jack, sockets and breaker bar for lug nuts and an assorted tool kit for emergency repairs. Two metric size sockets 10 and 15 (15 for the brake booster). Most of the tools I carry are from experience and fit the K5, including a pair of vise grips. Had to pinch a broken brake line on my old '68 Bronco to get out of the woods and back to civilization in west Texas one night. Snatch strap, tube of RTV, spare fuses, some 12 ga wire, leather gloves, winter time a good sleeping bag, and always, the .41.
