- Hi-Lift jack
- lug wrench
- extra Rotella, anti-freeze/water, gear oil, grease, ATF, fuel, fuel filter, extra v-band clamps, extra wire, PLENTY of electrical tape and parachute cord
- 320-piece craftsman socket & wrench set that fits perfectly on one side of the box plus a toolbag full of screwdrivers, pliers, 2.5 lb sledge, vice-grips and some other essentials
- fuses, belt, bungee cords, bailing twine and ratchet straps
- jumper cables
- Carhartt bibs
- Small power inverter
- d-cell Mag light and 2 Surefire LED flashlights
- Remote-control high-intensity Go-Light
- ice chest of Lone Star beer
- camping chair
- I have fishing rod holders built in to the back of my toolbox and a slide-in rod holder/ fishing stand with a fighting chair built in (my name is DieselSharker for a reason)

All of this is what I carry everywhere I go, except for the fishing platform, not just on long trips. I HATE being stranded anywhere. Eventually I will get an onboard air compressor as well.
When I am wheeling or on the beach for a weekend of shark & red fishing I'll have extra axle shafts, u-joints, bearings, fullsize spare, a mini torch, etc. If I'm fishing the back of my truck is full of rods, 3 ice chests, a bunch of milk crates with random fishing gear in them and a Kayak.

I forgot the most important things....my XM radio tuner and my Zune!.....OH, and my .40 Walther P99 and a Winchester .30-30
And so your saying your truck is actually about 3 tons when going down the road?

Probably . But I was in boy scouts for 10 years and in the Army for 6 years as a grunt so I know how to pack . My truck is basically my shop since most of the time I use my tools I'm working on the truck anyway. Check out my work bench when i rebuilt my pump:

Is the Lone Star then brew of choice? If so you must have thought that pump was going to take longer, the one box still looks full. ha ha ha

Yep Lone Star, Shiner Bock, Sol, Coors light. I had stopped at the store before coming home to take the pump off and was too lazy to walk it in the house .
