What's up everyone, was not sure where to put this question but I am really tired of hearing the crate in my trunk banging all over the place while I drive, unfortunately we all know we have to carry tools and other "Just in case items" , can anyone tell me ways to carry around the things we need rather than in a crate, maybe something more stable.....?

 

put stuff around the spare?

 

Here is what I have for tools:





^^the missing tool is the cardboard box cutter...its in my glove box

 

It might be overdoing it, but this is what I have in my trunk


oh...and don't forget these:

 

2X

+ Scissor jack

+ torque wrench

+ project kic spacer key

 

I carry none accept if i take a long trip, then its just the basics (10,12,13,14,15,17mm sockets a few wrenches and a philips/flat head screw driver a pliers/cutters) which i wrap in a towel and put in the spare tire.

I trust the car.

 

x2, only thing i really carry is one of those car emergency kits, with jumper cables, reflecters and such, so nothing really special

 

I have a small screwdriver/socket kit, flashlight, tire plug kit with a great 300psi compressor (only 15 bux from walmart) and the stock tools:lug wrench, scissor jack

 

something like this:

also i added a tow strap too, for those unplowed roads that are too deep for me

 

also got a pair of leather work type insulated gloves and a beanie in the driver's door also

 

I have my TEIN dampener adjustment tool...a flashlight and a leatherman kit. Usually enough to get me out of a pinch. Otherwise...I'd go with a leather bag type of tool bag that I could bungee to one side of the trunk (or use the net in the spare).

 

my kit is stuffed next to my sub, and it stays there too

 

Oh yes, i carry a flashlight at all times

 

I have a fairly large low profile jack, 10/12/14 mm sockets + 2 socket wrenches w/ extension, screw driver, flathead, and flashlight

 

^its a friggin tool shop in your trunk. I need to start carrying some for emergency situations.

 

no wonder all you people complain about your car being slow

 

From what I'm reading, I guess my problem is that I do not have any compact tool sets, guess I have to pick up one.....Thanks guys!

 

All you need are the main tools, especially 10mm sockets.
