- Wooden "Strong-Box" storage in the back (no back seat), also built by myself
- Hi-Lift Jack (what else is there?)
- No stereo (which is how I prefer it -- it came with one -- the first thing I did was
to rip it out -- yes, it's my daily driver -- yes, I drive without music, even for long
distances)
Storage-Box Contents:
- Tools (lots & lots of tools)
- Air hoses (2), Dual air-up/down tire control with gauge
- 2 ton hydraulic bottle jack
- Fluids -- 5 quarts engine oil, 1 gallon gear oil, 1 gallon antifreeze, 1 gallon water
(drinkable), 2.5 gallons gasoline, WD-40 spray can
- Heavy duty jumper cables, Flares
- 2 flashlights, 12V trouble light
- First aid kit
- Rags, towels, garbage bag roll
- Tarp, ropes, duct tape, bungee cords
- Heavy leather/canvas work gloves, dirty work clothes
- Recovery strap, tow strap, shackle
- Coleman Peak 1 Stove, 2 aluminum fuel bottles
- Aluminum cook set
- PUR water filter pump
- Tea bags, hot chocolate mix, soup packets, misc. snacks
- Survival pack (contains lots of goodies, including folding saw, candle lantern,
matches, whistle, pocket-sized SAS Survival Guide, compass, swiss-army knife,
mini survival pack, lots of other stuff)
- Box 'o fabrication material (wire, tape, strap, nuts & bolts, tie-wraps, mini lighter
torch, solder, various parts & pieces, digital multimeter, spare radiator cap, JB
weld, silicone sealant, repair kits for tires, gas tank, muffler, radiator, lots of other
misc. stuff)
- Disposable camera (for evidence in case of accident)
- Portable CB radio
- Spare fan belts
- Base board for Hi-Lift Jack
- Personal toiletries (including contact lens stuff, toothbrush & paste, brush, soap,
etc.)
Basically, I'm trying to carry enough stuff so that if something bad happens, I have a
better chance of fixing it myself. When I build my steel box, which will be much larger, I
will be adding more large spare parts like a spare starter motor, fuel pump, distributor
cap, plugs, oil filter, alternator, hub, u-joints, welding accessories, etc.
