What spare parts and fluids do you keep in the truck at all times?

[ImEngineer]

I was originally just posting this as a joke because I saw this in the parking lot the other day (and I know it's not a 5th Gen), but now I'm genuinely curious:

What spare parts and fluids do you keep in your truck?

For me, about the only thing I would consider a spare part is my tire patch kit and compressor. Maybe the jump-starter box could also fit in this category.

Noco Boost X GB45, thats it

Noco, tools, im thinking about getting spare suspension bolts and nuts and possibly tie rod too, 1 qt of oil, tire patch kit, assorted sockets, wrenches, and ratchets.

I carry more spare stuff because my truck sees quite a lot of dirt miles.

1 qt oil
coolant
air compressor
breaker bar
jump starter (hulkman 6.5 in a vehicle - noco gb40 in the other)
straps and ties downs, along with basic recovery wear
moving blanket

Tow straps
Ratchet straps
Kobalt Air Compressor (can pre-set PSI)
Air pressure gauge
Impact Wrench Milwaukee 2960-60 with battery
Thin walled, non-marring insert and sleeved socket for wheels (21 or 22MM I forget)
130 ft-lbs torsion bar
Terrible scissors jack it came with (looking for a replacement)
First aid kit
ODB2 sensor (for Torque and Alfa)
Bluedriver
Multi-tool
Paper towels

During the summer I also keep
Quick exterior paint detailer
Leather conditioner\cleaner

I don't carry and extra fluids or parts with me. It's a new truck and shouldn't have any issues. I do have a jump starter pack, jumper cables, a first aid kit, survival kit, recovery strap, and fire extinguisher in the truck though. as well as my OBD2 Bluetooth adapter for torque/alfaObd. Nor ally I would have a tire pressure gauge, but the truck shows me that info through TPMS

I have been thinking about replacing the oem jack many times but I can't remember the last time I had to use a jack on the road. I know when ever that happens I am gonna be cursing at it
thinking about a bottle jack and came across this the other day

Ratchet straps, tow chain, gloves, ice scraper, A towel for sweat or dirty hands, extra t shirt for if I get dirty, a 10 in 1 screwdriver, tape measure. I'm not worried about me breaking down. With Ramboxes on the new truck, I'm sure I will carry more.

what size fire extinguisher and where do you carry it - do you have a mount for it

I bought one of those.

I kept it in the box standing up in my kitchen for a week before trying it, the seals broken while it was sitting in the box.
It also didn't fit in my Ramboxes, not that it mattered at that point.

My current floor jack can't lift the front of my truck so i'm thinking of getting an electric jack and hope it fits in the Ramboxes or under the passenger seat.

Just a smaller Kiddie fire extinguisher. I got it more for car shows as most judged shows around here give "bonus" points for having a fire extinguisher and first aid kit. At shows I set it next to the recovery strap kit. Otherwise I sticknit under the seat so it's not rolling around. I haven't "mounted" it because I haven't wanted to put holes in the truck

 

[N0cturnal]

Here is the dump of what I can think off. I am sure I missed few more, but almost all of this takes one RamBox.

1. Air compressor (ViAir 88P)
2.Jumper cables
3. Lithium based battery jump starter
4. 1 Qt of oil
5. Tools and bottle jack
6. Recovery Straps, Shackle Hitch Receiver
7. Bunch of ratcheting straps and bungee cords
8. Tire guage and deflators
9. Fire extinguisher
10. Road Flares
11. Plenty of Flashlights and a headlamp
12. Gerber Multitool and some utility knives
13. Roll of Shop towel and TP.
14. Tarp
15. MaxTraxx (when going off road) - I haven't taken this truck to the beach yet and I am still not sure about 22"Inch wheels and how it will work out on sand.
16. Shovel and small square of Plywood
17. OBDII scanner
18. First Aid kit with Bleed Stop

I didn't even consider an electric one but they seem to perform well. Will look into them

A spare pair of underwear and a box of Dude Wipes.

 

[Mountain Whiskey]

Tire plug kit, air compressor, get-home bag, spare boots.

 

[HemiDude]

I don't keep any fluids or spare parts relevant to this truck. I do keep some tools and straps/bungees, including a tire repair kit, and those things are mostly to assist with other people's vehicles. On long trips I'll throw in a few more tools and some bug juice, but that's about it. If this truck starts to need parts and fluids as regular passengers it will need to find a new home

 

[theblet]

Odb2 code reader, 12 volt compressor, tool kit, multi meter, jumper box, jumper cables, rope, racket straps, tire plug kit, tow straps and shackles, and extra clothes. There’s probably more that I’m not thinking of

 

[FLiPMaRC]

Dewalt DCF899 Impact Wrench/22mm socket
Dewalt DCC020IB air compressor / Tire plug kit
Rubber kneeling pad/gloves
Battery pack jump starter
Ratchet Straps 2" for cargo
And a few other things ...

Forgot I also carry a 4-way lug wrench as it's easier/faster than the factory one for removing lug nuts. And actually have two in the truck because si forgot I had already put one in it. One is collapsible and sits next to the factory jack. Other one is tucked up behind rear seats
