I keep one of these in my truck under the back seat. All I've added to it was a deep 10mm.

I "molded" this part of the blow mold case to fit the additional socket, and it holds in there well.

I looked at that one but they don't list the sizes on the site. I will probably look again whenever I make it over there next.

The only tools I carry daily in the truck are a pistol, knife, and phone.
I have roadside assistance with my insurance and a heated garage with tools.
They can tow it home for me. lol

Roadside assistance doesn't service Metberry Gulch, though.

Yea. If I went up north with spotty cell service, I would pack a toolbox.
But here in the heart of suburbia it's not necessary.


Who else is washing and doing a "quick ceramic" in 37° and sleet ? lol




Got the Malipoo all done and cleaning it to sell it.
Wasn't going to give it a detail but I don't think it has ever been waxed.
Not a single bead of water anywhere.
The interior cleaned up nice for a 2004

LOL, mine mostly get used at the wrecking yard.

Just actually used me "garage" set a few minutes ago to replace the scraper on my snow blower AGAIN. This time I bought the official Oregon made scraper instead of the Ebay special. It feels much nicer.... I need to buy or fix the frame this summer.

That'll be the secondary purpose. I'm tired of packing up a kit and putting it all away again every time.

Speaking of which, are there any SAE fasteners on these trucks other than hose clamps and maybe aftermarket exhaust hangers? I feel like I've run into some but now I can't be sure.
