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

[djevox]

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

I keep all that stuff except the oil and coolant, and I have diesel, so I keep fuel additive in the truck also.

 

[BowDown]

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 ...

When I go on road trips, I do take my kobalt 600ft lbs 1/2" impact gun, lug nut socket and a tire patch kit.
Don't need it but the impact makes short work of lug nuts

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

Is that some kind of foot fetish S&M thing?

OH haha. i guess so! Im glad it didnt autocorrect tire plug.

I got rid of the "full size" temporary spare and replaced it with a real spare tire (found a matching takeoff wheel on ebay).
I also got a bottle jack, but haven't found a good place to put it. The in-floor storage boxes aren't quite big enough, even with the liner removed.

I don't carry and extra fluids or parts with me. It's a new truck and shouldn't have any issues.

Agreed. I'll check fluids before leaving on a trip.

The only thing I keep in the truck is a box of spare fuses and an OBDII scanner.

Let me put some more crap in my truck so I can win

 

[HSKR R/T]

Maybe not daily, but I have jump started a few people, and have pulled someone out of the ditch with my recovery strap. Saving them an expensive tow truck bill because closest tow truck was 45 minutes away. hope to never need the fire extinguisher, first aid kit, or survival kit

I bought an inexpensive Plano 108L trunk from Home Depot which can fit all kinds of knickknacks, including a floor jack at the bottom as long as it's within 30x12 inches. My Arcan 3-ton hybrid fits nicely there. Make sure to get the model with a sealed lid... there are three different lid variations.

I keep the basics:
Air compressor (battery powered/12v)
Tire plug kit
Jump box
Multi tool
Ratchet straps
Bungie cords
First aid kit
My cheap OBD2 reader

I really need to find a better jack. One that can pull double duty for both my truck and travel trailer. I'm going to check out the ones mentioned in this thread to start with.

 

[kdoublep]

Supplies:
5 gal gas
Cargo net
Ratchet straps
Bed divider
Jumper cables
Socket set
Breaker bar
USB cables
2x4's (you never know)

Defense:
Cold Steel Tanto blade
Cold steel expandable baton
Hellcat 9mm
sharks with laser beams attached to their heads

After reading everyone's lists, I realized I need more stuff.

I read this as "a bottle of jack" and was going to suggest the cup holder. Dyslexia is a bastard.

 

[Loudram]

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

https://www.amazon.com/Powerbuilt-620471-6000Lb-Unijack/dp/B00GJJZ5NI/ref=asc_df_B00GJJZ5NI/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312210000898&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4546706626889631496&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030947&hvtargid=pla-456314400609&th=1

Here's basically the same one for cheaper. Same company, weight rating, lift height, and weight. The only difference is the color. I'll probably get it.
Edit: Nevermind, I only have 10 1/2" clearance to my trailer axle. I need a shorter one.

Let me put some more crap in my truck so I can win

I'll start by adding some good things from other members' list
1st aid kit
fire extinguisher
gloves - a have several pairs at home that I have purchase or have been given to me that I never remember to use until I hurt myself lol

And forgot I also carry one of those red foldable triangle warning signs that somebody just left around work

Maybe not daily, but I have jump started a few people, and have pulled someone out of the ditch with my recovery strap. Saving them an expensive tow truck bill because closest tow truck was 45 minutes away. hope to never need the fire extinguisher, first aid kit, or survival kit

same here, the stuff I carry tends to be use to help others
