sherwood Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I usually try to carry my utility knife, flashlight, and hatchet, and of course my tow strap : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc2300s Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 What do you guys always carry with you in your trucks? I have a very dismal list that includes jumpers, bungies, ratchet straps, bottle of oil, flashlight, flares, a flat tire kit and a mini air compressor. I plan to do some major mods this summer and do A LOT more wheeling...what else should I have? I have not even been carrying a spare tire everyday , maybe it is a good idea to think about what to carry. Thanks. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=27734 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clkindred Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Oooo this is my kinda thread. I went out and looked in my pathy and this is the stuff that is in there at all times. First off, a view of my back storage, not to bad. Top of pile, first aid kit. I am not impressed by most store bought FAK's because they are little more than a bunch of band-aids. This one I put together myself and I keep it in a Pelican case. I'll elaborate on what exactly is in there if anyone wants. Let's see what else I have...

clkindred Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Next up, a 30. cal. ammo can with about 8 or 9 15min road flares. I like to keep em' in the ammo can to keep them "fresh" Now for my homemade C02 tire filler upper. Cost me eh, 40 bucks or so minus the tank which I already had. Just getting started...

clkindred Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ok what next, how about my old shaving bag from my days in the Marines? In there I have various tools, zip-ties and whatnot. I modded a couple plastic storage box thingys to keep these things neat and organized. First one is tire repair stuff, plugs, plug tools, pressure gauge, valve caps. I still need some valve cores and core tool. Spare fuses and fuse puller tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkindred Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Air compressor, this one clips to the car battery, I hate those ones that plug into the cig lighter, my friend had one of those, fried it trying to fill up an SUV tire, (never did the job) after that it could barely fill a bike tire. What's in the white bucket? Recovery straps, 3 D-ring shackles, some nylon rope, rags and various tie-downs I did not want to untangle for the photo. BEEFY shackles I might add. The tool kit I got for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkindred Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 There's my jumper cables! Cargo floor compartment has reflective triangles, 2 half hour road flares, duct tape and orange-ish safety... uh, tape? It's not sticky, the stuff you are SUPPOSED to mark things you are hauling that stick out the back. Pipe, lumber ect. The yellow stick is a fiberglass rod about 3 feet long. It's handy for poking, probing, and whipping through the air real fast to make that sound. A flashlight mounted near the driver side rear wheel well.

clkindred Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 A good old cross type lug nut wrench fits under the rear seat along with the factory jack, tools and whatnot. Another flashlight mounted in an easy to reach place while driving. 12 volt, 200 lumen, eye scorching tactical style. That sums up my everyday carry. I'll toss in other things when going into the mountains. I might cover those later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full set of air tools and hand tools. Pretty much every fluid that the truck takes in spare. Emergency welding setup. Medical kit. Emergency pack with clothes, food and water. Etc.

nunya Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 You want valve stem cores? I can give you all those you want! I got an oil filter box full of em! And a core tool is like 5 bucks tops, or there is valve caps that double as core removers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boothill2008 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I add a couple of 2" x 8" x 36" planks to wedge under the tires in the snow or sand for traction when stuck, and a couple of short 4" x 4" pieces that I have used with my barrel jack when I have been hung up on the frame.....

Towncivilian Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) I really don't have much. Fire extinguisher Dwindling roll of 3M electrical tape ~2qts of engine oil, ~1qt PSF, ~1qt ATF, a can of brake cleaner. I say ~ because all of the bottles have a small amount used. Some spare windshield washer hose A bunch of damn trim clips pocketed from junkyard Pathfinders An extra oil pan drain plug Some small 1/4" drive socket sets 1/2" drive torque wrench with 10mm, 14mm, 19mm sockets, and a 1/2" to 3/8" reversible socket converter 1/4" drive torque wrench A plastic box filled with random computer cables, a Linksys wireless router, and a toothbrush & floss in a Ziploc bag A Gateway Solo 9300 laptop running Windows XP A Gateway PS/2 keyboard Half-empty touch-up paint bottle from Nissan, with a bunch of paint all over the damn bottle Bunch of installation media for various editions of Windows XP, Vista, 7, and Office 2007 and 2010 Random music CDs I never listen to anymore since I got a head unit with auxiliary input One white Bic lighter Some napkins More random tools (ratcheting screwdriver, box cutter, a short & stubby screwdriver, some pliers and wire cutters) in the bottom center console compartment The glove box contains the owner's manual, some spare fuses, instruction booklet for the fire extinguisher, and 4 or 5 receipts for parts from Nissan and another receipt from AAP. And the pair of safety glasses I just got for free. And of course, insurance and registration cards. I really should at least get some quality jumper cables, and give away the spare 2 quarts of make-up oil I've got and just keep one quart instead. Maybe keep a gallon of distilled water for coolant or drinking in an emergency. Should prolly throw in some toilet paper and some disposable cups too. Can you tell that I'm a computer technician?

nunya Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 [*]One white Bic lighter Bad Luck! White lighter is bad luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I've also been told it's gay. I can see the remaining fluid in the lighter when held up to the light, so I find white's more useful than the other colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Can you tell that I'm a computer technician? Lol I could because I'm the same thing but I never leave anything of value in my truck. But that is getting off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 A laptop from 2001 with no battery, and a router that has firmware issues (if power goes out, it dies and must be reflashed IIRC, but DD-WRT might have fixed that), hmmm... not too much of value there. Plus I use the cargo shade. Probably the most valuable thing in the trunk is a 120W can-size power inverter from China that'll surely burn the car down eventually, and the USB OBDII scanner I bought for $28.
