Toolkit Suggestions

[rgrandy]

I wanted to put together a decent toolkit in case I have any issues with the truck while out and about. What do you all have in your truck emergency toolkit?

10mm wrench for battery

 

[PA Lightning]

I carry a multi-tool and duct tape in all of my vehicles. In all honesty, although I am mechanically inclined, I don't think I would be able go fix anything mechanical on a Lightning,

Problem is when I am "out" I am usually in the middle of nowhere, so my basic tool kit is a chainsaw, pocket warmers, lighter, snatch strap and insulated coveralls.

That would give me the necessary tools until the Calvary arrives.

As Bruce said, 10 mm combo wrench for 12v battery and it can lift lever behind rear seat driver side for access to small space.

Other items below are just good things to carry in any truck.
Duct tape and folding box cutter.
Multi-tool and stubby ratchet set.
First aid kit and waterproof tarp.
Zip ties and cinch strap.
And specific to Texas, snake bite medicine.

Keep a bottle jack in the truck. The screw jack is not strong enough to lift the extra weight...Found out the hard way after hitting road debris and popping a tire.

Although I do keep a trusty 10 mm wrench in my truck, has anyone used a battery disconnect switch?
