[TR] TR Toolbox

[Jim Bauder]

I think the list posted by Randall is about as all inclusive a list as I have
seen. The only things I add for the long trips are my detailing and cleaning
products as I go to car shows on my trips! I also carry a bottle of lead
substitute for my gas tank and ZDDP additive for my motor oil.

Good luck,

Jim

For us who have yet to get on the road, but still hope for this summer...
Just what does everyone put in their tool box for daily driving or a longer
trip?

For tools I would think:
2 quarts of oil, 2 gallons of water, 3/16-5/8 comb wrench, hammer, jack, crank,
visegrips, electrical tape, safety wire. 

For spares maybe:
Hoses, clamps, fan belt, fuses.

All this along with some common sense and a prayerbook?  Feel free to add to the
list, should be interesting just how much junk we have in the trunk as we motor
down the road.

For years I have used a 7" X 12" plastic shoe box with a snap  on lid.  
Surprising amount of small hand tools will fit and when placed  on a folded bath
towel will not slide around.  A 2' cloth bag with zipper  and handle holds spare
parts, jack, breaker bar, etc. completes my "carry  on".  If it can't fit in the
shoe box or bag it isn't worth  taking.
