re: What do you carry in your truck toolbox

It gets full by itself, but here goes... Jumper cables, 3 ton extra tall jack, tarps, work gloves, bungee cords and tie downs, gallon of water, brake fluid, some random tools, small youth sized baseball bat, rope, and a come along....

I don't keep a tool box in my hummer

Back in college, I got one of the deep tool boxes that went all the way down to the bottom of the bed. But it was a 2-door Dodge Ram and that didn't leave much room in the truck to keep things. I usually had some tow straps, hitch ball, jumper cables, gloves, a small socket set, hammer, 4-way lug wrench, crescent wrench set, and a backpack full of books in it. Occasionally on trips I'd shove all that to one side to throw in a suitcase. And a decent sized cooler would fit in there and I could lock up the beer at a tailgate. Most didn't know it was in there, but a quick turn of the lock and it wouldn't go missing if I was walking across campus to meet up with people.

Tow strap, tie downs, rechargeable jump box (with tire inflator), work gloves, tire plug kit, couple of old throw blankets, receiver hitch, small tool kit.

amen

They are even better for giant tool boxes on single cab trucks. I love me some milk crates.

I had something similar on my old truck. Not sure how that exact one works but mine had slide out trays. It was better than a big toolbox for tools by a long shot because it made organization easy. The only problem was you were obviously limited to pretty small stuff. No bottle jacks, big chokers, etc.

You couldn't see it without looking in the bed and it gives you an excellent place to set your beer while hooking up trailers. You also don't loose hardly any bed space. If I didn't have a single cab truck id probably have that instead of the massive behind the cab box I have now.

Meh. They'll just break your truck window if they want your shite bad enough.
