Tool Boxes

[kssooner]

So those of you that have tool boxes on your truck what do you keep in them? As for me I have a few tow straps, jumper cables, some tools (sockets, wrenches, hammer...you know the basics to get me by), some hunting gear, spot lights, towing stuff and most important duct tape and bailing wire. Those two things can fix just about anything.

What DON"T I have in there might be easier...I got sockets, wrenches (both metric and standard), a few hammers, jumper cables, tow straps, 3 heavy duty chains, ratchet straps, a machete, sleeping bag, tackle box, interior truck cleaning supplies, etc....in other words I need a bigger tool box to hold more tools.

depends on the truck..

 

my work truck: i have all my tools. socket sets, wrenches, screwdrivers, drill & bits, bolts, nuts, washers, pliers, electrical stuff, hammers, tape, files, hydraulic hose press, hydraulic fittings, gps equipment, etc....

 

my other truck: the tool box stores all my crap i dont want in the cab, plus my hitches and tow strap...maybe a few wrenches

I have a box in the bed and in that I have a tow straps, jumper cables, 3 ton floor jack (i dont mess around), 2 tarps, greens (pants and jacket from my old job in case I need to get dirty and I have good clothes on), boots, hard hat (2 i dont know why), cig lighter air compressor, vice (its on a 2in receiver to go into the hitch). I have a small bag in the cab which has bungee cords and tie downs and some screw drivers. I also have a small hard case in the cab that has a flash light breaker bar and some other things I cant think of. Basically I am prepared for alot hehe.

Yeah a buddy of mine had an old plastic tool box that we converted into a very big cooler...some heavy duty contractor plastic then we sprayed the walls with spray foam (we used forms to make it hold) then some more plastic...believe it or not it works great

I got him crammed in a toolbox next to my sub box, tied down in the back.

 

It looks awful cramped, but he's not complaining.
