    Lightbulb What's in your.....

    For those of you who have trucks, large SUV's etc etc. some of you have tool boxes, some of you have bed covers (tonneau covers) some of you have the Rocker pods or something similar that carries our stuff... Now i'm just curious but what are some items that you carry in your truck or SUV at all times? stuff you just can't seem to go anywhere without??

    For me, I keep my FD PPE (bunker pants, jacket, helmet, etc. etc.) an actual tool box Loaded with various tools for any random project or quick fix, A few microfiber towels, some mothers mag aluminum polish, jumper cables, climbers grade 3/8's Rope, (3) Carabiner's, rachet tie downs, elastic cords with hooks, utility gloves, flashlights, first aid kits, a road flare, my softball gear (bats, gloves, cleats, softballs) and lastly my Ladder golf: football edition set.


    I asked this because i'm curious. I grew up with the idea that you should always be prepared for anything (thank the boy scouts) and 9 times out of 10 i'm usually prepared for anything lol ....Just endulge me for a bit... it's 2:30 a.m. and I couldn't sleep
