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?

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.

Actually, I keep some tools, a jack, one of those 12v booster packs and a small electric winch. This is in the back of the Navigator though, not a Mopar.

An AX !!!

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.


Have you seen my old '69 Charger??

     I carry anything that will set Murphy's law into effect. If you have it; you will not need it.
If it ain't wide open; it ain't running.        Rule number one in motocross racing: Pin it; row the gear box; and wait until you hit something.     At work my motto is: If you need me, call someone else.

You forgot 50 gallons of water, canned goods, MRE`S , toothpick, swiss army knife, bubble gum, and a rubber band. perhaps a tent.
Earth. Even the word sounded strange to me now... unfamiliar. How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter? I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive, I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again. But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong -Solaris
