Different vehicles i stock differently, the au i carry a Tyre pressure gauge , usual spare wheel stuff , Sunnys and mobile phone and that's it.
The old ls 400 is pretty reliable, i carry about the same in it, though it has its own basic little tool kit . Other cars in the past have carried heaps of tools. Last edited by GasoLane; 01-05-2016 at 08:40 PM. Reason: Fixed typo |

Apart from the standard equipment that came with the ute all I carry under the rear seat is 4 ratchet tie-down straps, a pair of gloves, a rag, 2 plastic bags, a torch, cloth cleaning spray for when the dog uses the back seats, a presta valve to schrader valve conversion piece for my MTB and about 20 old receipts (mostly under the front seats) |

Hello,
Thanks for the replies, in my case I go out of phone range and may be the last one through the road, so in my mind I like to think I am prepared. I was curious about what others have, there may have been something that I thought I should add. If is in the Cab, it is always there. A box in the back may not always be there when you need something. |

Lol its a slippery slope
In my ute (s) I started off with a Faber Mustang II purely because I got it cheap, previously what I had I kept at home with a very basic breakdown kit in a 50cal ammo box behind the seat http://www.fabertoolboxes.com.au/product/mustang-ii/ It soon got filled up with what I had that I thought worthwhile, and a collection of bits and pieces that grew untill it was full to the point it was almost solid when it was closed up tight, then I got a awesome deal on a pair of Faber Jackaroo toolboxes, one with two drawers and one with a drop flap on the front. http://www.fabertoolboxes.com.au/product/jackaroo-ii/ Well.... you know how the story goes, you can never build a shed thats too big, because you soon fill it.... the collection grew untill you get this (no pics of the other one because its all packed away) Well.... I was working for Repco and I was getting some awesome deals on tool pricing, so the collection grew, I had my tools with me at work and often fitted things for customers (even cut down an overlength tow bar insert for a lady with a Ranger, THAT made me popular!) and every now and then someone would call me to come and bail them out of trouble..... and eventually BOTH boxes ended up full.... *sigh* one day, I'll buy a shed, offload most of the stuff from the ute, and stop answering my phone..... Sorry two of the photos arent upright, photobucket keeps changing them so theyre sideways
