what do you carry in your trunk?

[1BAD68]

Just wondering what tools, etc. do you guys keep in your car when cruising?
I have a spare tire, fire extinguisher, a spare ballast resister, ign. module, some nylon ties, a jack and some hand tools.
I've been lucky to never have been stranded on the side of the road in any of my 30+ year old cars yet, but I know its bound to happen eventually.
What kind of stuff got you up and running in the past?

[moparguy01]

usually a gallon of antifreeze, motor oil and trans fluid, ballast resister, fusible link and twist connectors (yea they dont last but they will usually last till you can get somewhere with a soldering gun to do it right) ignition module, zip ties, duct tape, mechanics wire and some hand tools. thats pretty much it.

[Charger-Bodie]

a spare tire and a jack set .....none of which that i would use 

[Doright]

Some fluids and towels cleaning supplies ect.

That was the answer a co-worker of mine gave when he was on the TV show Family Fued, yeah his family lost.

I have a folding chair for cruise nites and a pile of flyers for different shows I'm involved with. no spare,no jack.

[70charginglizard]

guys are real funny. all I have to say is.,,,you try being stuck in the middle of BFE with your classic car with absolutely no help what so ever and then well talk.

[MorePwr]

the next time I'm cruising through Egypt. I'll bring this guy and a pack of bubble gum

[Lowprofile]

I never leave home without my Trunk Monkey!

[MorePwr]

I had forgotten about trunk monkeys.. that's great!

[TUFCAT]

Trunk monkeys - great idea!! ....until they have to crap 

[1BAD68]

guys are real funny. all I have to say is.,,,you try being stuck in the middle of BFE with your classic car with absolutely no help what so ever and then well talk.

Sorry for kidding around. But seriously I'm adding some things that you mentioned. Still trying to build something that wont slide/move around in the trunk, tool boxes just jump around and make all kinds of noise. What are you using to store all that stuff?

[MorePwr]

I'm sorry Kelly, but I couldn't resist...

[TUFCAT]

I'm sorry Kelly, but I couldn't resist...

That's hysterical!

[dpm68]

A balnket for certain two-party occasions...kinda like a picnic without food...

[Shakey]

A balnket for certain two-party occasions...kinda like a picnic without food...

What's on the menu - sausage?

[TUFCAT]

HA! ...probably more like- SNAUSAGES!

[dpm68]

picnics where we play hide the salami. 

[Neal_J]

I used to carry my mother-in-law in the trunk. 

Before she "outgrew" it, if you know what I mean.

What's up with trunk monkey's? On our street bikes we hang a bell on the bottom of the frame, to ward of bike Gremlins.

Most of it is stuffed into an oversized plastic tool box. I have that bungied into the right side of the trunk inder the wheel well. Fits pretty good (plenty of room in the rest of the trunk for lots of other things. and thanks to the bungies it stay pretty firmly in place.

It really doesn't take up that much space and to me having the confidence that I can get myself out of a bind on my own if I need to makes it worth it to me. THats all.

[aifilaw]

Hah! I used to be the worst at this. Which is even more odd considering I've never broken down on the road.

I carried a hydrallic floor jack, 2 jack stands, extra hoses/belts. at least 2 ballast resistors, a coil, a distributer, an ignition module, spare water pump, spare oil pump, at least 1 tube of RTV, numerous various mechanical parts. A complete set of jets and cams, header gaskets, towels, dirty pants/shirt.
and literally 160 Lbs worth of all my tools.

[TUFCAT]

I carry an anvil, some bird seed.... and of course, an Acme bomb - -  just in case I find the Roadrunner!

Wow,

[dpm68]

Hey TUFCAT, don't forget about the Portable Hole - no trunk should be without it!

[terrible one]

My Stereo components....  but once I get a new sub box integrated into one of the side panels it should free up some room.   

Hell yeah man! Infinity all the way!

[THE COLONEL]

Well, aside from my moonshine deliveries, and the bow and dynamite arrows for protection, I just have a wheel.

[bordin34]

WD-40,3in1 oil, paper towels, rust converter, undercoating, tackle box for fishing, and entire fishing pole that fits without being bent, tire, jack.

[TUFCAT]

Hey TUFCAT, don't forget about the Portable Hole - no trunk should be without it!

Oh yes, the portable hole for that overhang - just before the edge of the cliff!!!!  Oh, and I forgot,  I also have an Acme Rocket Harness !!
