For those without original jack, what are you carrying in your truck?

Grumpy, Grumpy - no one's trying to kick you off the board. People just have different opinions, here as in the real world. We'd all be better off if we all learned to take those differences less seriously. You're a valuable part of the board here, stick around.

Hey Old Man....I always read what you post. You give some of the best info/help around here.

Ok, better question. How do you guys store your aftermarket jack/ tools. I plan on getting AAA when it can move under its own power. But yeah I hate waiting on roadside assistance. Id rather get dirty for a min than wait close to an hour. I know a lot of you guys are good at hiding stuff.

Grumpy -- I most certainly did not intend to 'take a swipe' at you for any reason, nor did I mean to offend you. My point simply was that whenever possible, I prefer to do things myself rather than have someone else do it for me. That is all.

I went back and re-read the posts a couple more times and I honestly do not see anything offensive. You have your opinions and I have mine, nothing more. Have a nice day.

Drew, I stored my jack/tools under the seat in the last truck. A pretty tight fit. On my current truck I have a bed-mounted toolbox, makes things a lot easier!

I have a few parts / interior deals to finish in the next few days and after that you won't have to tolerate this Grumpy old man anymore . Sad . Go kick your father for calling road service .

No come back, we need you. You saved me big $$$ on the blue/white last week.

Did this on the cheap. Jack and tools are from a '95 Blazer. Fits under the seat good. $20.00 wrecking yard special.

That's a beauty! Is that a case for it? If so I like!

I have a small hydraulic bottle jack that fits where the stock jack would go. I have a folding 4-way lug wrench and I found a small fabric tool bag at Harbor Freight that it fits in with the jack handle, and I store that where the stock tools would go. Haven't had to use it, but I have it in case I need it. And the spare is in the accessory bed mount.

Yep. All the tools fit in the box. The jack and tools were in different spots in the full size Blazer.

I like this setup! I'm probably going with this on my next road trip
