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

[N0cturnal]

I have umbrella from Bulgaria.

Not mentioned yet which I carry: ponchos, heat reflective blankets, a knee pad, an old yoga mat, and a sturdy jack stand.

I forgot. I also have my 9mm and an umbrella

Umbrella? I haven't used one of those since I was 5. I don't melt. I do carry the 9mm though.

I'm kind of surprised that knee pads make the list a couple of times. Well.... don't ask, don't tell.

9mm is such a weird size. Seems a 10mm wrench would be more useful.

Sounds like a good time

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

I have one of those. The only time I brought it with me is when I did a 1500 mile road trip up in Canada.

Those wrenches are too expensive per round.

Yup... Repurpose as needed!

 

[FLiPMaRC]

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.

I just clicked on your link. It looks like I bought that jack in 2017 for $40.

I feel your pain as a grower not a show-er.

And I thought some other threads drifted away.

I carry a pair of cutting pliers to remove nails or screws from a tire,.
Tire plug kit.
Mini air compressor.
Tie down straps.
Adjustable receiver with different size balls.
A couple shop rags.
Washer fluid.
Jumper cables.
Reflective safety triangles
A lockout kit in case someone locks their keys in their vehicle
Scan tool
A pair of gloves
Cold weather blanket
Kneeling pad for when I'm plugging or changing a tire.

 

[Mountain Whiskey]

There it is again. At least it appears here that the knee pads are for pitching and not receiving.

I have a spare tire.

 

[HSKR R/T]

I don't get the tire plug kits. We have spare tires. Just recently had to get new tires for my step sons truck a little sooner than planned. He had one that would leak and needed air added every 2-3 dsysm. Took it to tire shop to get fixed. Someone used a plug in it and the plug leaked. Tire shop refused to fix tire and wouldn't even remount it due to safety/liability reasons. Meaning a tire plug kits basically ruins your tire. I've never liked them, and would never use them on my car tires, even before this.

For a leak from a nail, screw, etc, I’ve always found it more quick and easy to plug and inflate if possible. No need to worry about jacking and changing.

I normally just plug it, and go to a tire shop. They remove the plug, put a patch and I’m good to go. The plug never ruined a tire for me. For s slow leak like yours, no really don’t need to plug since the air lasts days. Plenty of time to get to a shop.

For a blow out I have no choice.

The slow leak was caused by the plug. And the plug was the reason they would not repair the tire.
