What do you keep in your car?

[Yeahrightgreer]

Not sure if there’s already a thread on this - but what kind of things like fusibles, coolant and sockets do you keep in your C Body everyday while on the road?

 

[Welder guy]

The basics get a kit with sockets wrenches screwdrivers

 

[Welder guy]

It all depends on how far you travel and how the car has been treating you. If it is in good shape you don’t need to carry much at all

7/16, 1/2, screwdriver, fire extinguisher, voltage reg., Fix-a-Flat, sunglasses

 

[BigblueC]

Every vehicle - 1 quart oil, 1 quart trans (if auto), 1 bottle of water
Old cars - every thing above plus a decent sized fire extinguisher, and tool box for trips over ~30 minutes away.

 

[detmatt]

Fire extinguisher, engine oil, trans fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, flashlight, fsm, complete tool kit, fuel pump pushrod(not kidding, once bitten...), marine 2-cycle(use at every fill-up). I also keep a spare points distributor in case my Pertronix should fail and I also have spare v-belts. Keep in mind up until this year we would take this car on long road trips. This year I was too busy with work to get some maintenance issues taken care of such as getting the radiator re-cored.

I should also mention the 2 times I’ve really needed anything I just called Hagerty.

 

[Big_John]

I have a 3/8 socket set, combination wrenches, screwdriver with interchangeable tips, small hammer, 4 way lug wrench, duct tape, a few feet electrical wire, vise grips, crescent wrench, empty gallon jug, ballast resistor, ECU, fuses, cheap DMM, oil and trans fluid. Probably a few things I'm forgetting... I carry that (except for the 4 way and the gallon jug) in an old beer crate along with my detailing stuff.

Oh.... and a cell phone and AAA card.

Harbor Fright is your friend for emergency tools.

I trust my well maintained cars. Nothing but the Tools that came with the car from the factory. Never got into a spot to ever use anything under way. Once stranded with a dead ignition Computer for my 82 BMW, nothing I could have done except carrying a spare 900 Euro part around with me all the time and ended up being pulled home with a rope by a supposedly drunk serviceman from an Autoclub at 60+ mph.

Chairs. Thats the only thing that is usually found in my trunks on each and every outting

The tools in the trunk of my 300 have been used a few times, but not on my car.... They have been used on someone else's car. My spare tire even went on a 34 Dodge street rod once.

How do you all keep it from shifting around in the trunk? When i drive it slides from one side to the other o_o

 

[Fury440]

I carry a cell phone, Visa card and the phone number for Hagerty.

 

[cm23uoc]

I don't even have a cell phone.

 

[70bigblockdodge]

Fire extinguisher, zip/wire ties, duct tape, and beer.
