What do you always have in your truck?

[yrraljguthrie]

And the visible guns didn't get stolen. Good story but are you sure shotgun pellets could go through a transmission case? It doesn't really make any difference it's a story and stories should be enhanced over time. Without question.

What do I always have in my truck?

Tools and supplies (aluminum, hoses, etc) for working on my airplane. It seems I'm always fixing or upgrading something on that dang thing. Until I bought my 2022 Warlock, I would carry everything in the trunk of a Mercedes

I even once pulled my airplane engine, tossed it in the trunk, and drove from PA to GA to have it worked on

Every once in a while I clean out the truck, vacuum it, etc... but it seems within days I once again have tools or pieces of scrap aluminum or fiberglass strewn throughout

Oh well... that's why I bought it

Breaker bar, blankets, extra oil, machete, jumper cables, bungee’s, rope, storage tub, multi-tool, some hand tools and several knives. I guess I need to add a few more things.
In NJ it’s illegal for us to even look at a handgun. Fker’s.

Yeah, I heard that.

I live in AR now, but I'm originally from N. CA. It's amazing the things that have gone completely whacko since I left 10 years ago. Now, you need some kind of ID card even to just buy ammo, and I think you're limited to like 2 boxes or something. Two boxes of shotgun shells would have got me through 1 weekend duck hunting, and a couple hours at the trap or pistol range would put me back 4 or 5 boxes. Nutjobs...

Times have changed. Alot of people out there concealed carry now. Yeah you have to jump through hoops but it's obtainable finally.

All the stuff total I have in my truck weighs probably less than 50#'s. I'm still way below any concern.

I have probably around 300-400 lbs of tools, motors, refrigerant. Literally everything you need to fix any air conditioner in Florida. Even the little floorboard coolers are filled with thermostats and parts.

 

[JosephPukala]

All of us boys had a gun rack in the window back then. At least those with a truck.

Yes! Even in school parking lots you would see shotguns in the back window.

We used to go hunting after school in the fall...

 

[runamuck]

I keep a fleece blanket under the back seat and rainsuits for me and the wife in the floor compartment and in the bed I keep a bucket with a tow line and jumper cables and 12v mini air pump and a set of work gloves and a folding army shovel. in the console I have a rechargeable flashlight and a set of driving glasses along with a digital tire gauge and a small hand towel. in the glove boxes I have an ice scraper, folding umbrella, and wheel lock key. I keep a 9 mm and 2 mags in a gun shoe in the pouch of the drivers door. just trying to cover a few potential scenarios.

We used to go hunting after school in the fall...

I took my shotgun to school one time so I could head straight out for some dove hunting in the afternoon. I didn't have a car at the time, so I broke it down and put it in a gunny sack and took it on my bike. Walked down the hall and stuck it in my locker.

In addition to many of the above items, here are a few things I carry that I haven't seen here yet: A 5 gal gas can. For around town it is empty, but when on a road trip, I fill it just in case. Also I may run into another that needs gas and then I can help. Also a dog leash and a tennis ball and dog cookies in case I run into a lost dog. I also always have a set of drum sticks and a practice pad, just in case I ever need to pass the time, like if I run out of gas and am waiting for AAA.

Methinks there be a contradiction here.
