Battery cable. Tow strap. Flares (pyro and electric). Flashlight. Two quarts of bottled water. Firstaid kit. Knife. Automatic center punch to break windows. Safety cutter for seatbelts. Fire extinguisher (to put out other fires 'cause I'd let my truck burn to the ground and get a new one to save on the hassle of getting it repaired right). Cell phone. Phone book.

 

LOL actually it's not really a "box", but its the easiest, cheapest alternative. It's a piece of plywood, cut to length and height, that fit in the seat bracket. The other 3 "walls" are the seat brackets and of course the floor behind the seat. The "bottom" of the box is the floor of the vehicle. The "top" of the box is the bottom of the seat. Do you visualize what I'm saying? I can try to take a picture in a few days though if you don't .
Basically, its just a piece of plywood that I cut to size and dropped in there, and it doesn't move forward because of the angles of the seat brackets.

 

CB radio with a 225 watt booster, incase I need to reach somebody, and my cell phone for the 900 numbers when Im bored (just joking CL).

While we're on the subject, does anyone know what the best tow strap is? Mine broke the other night so I need a new one. I remember going to a link (the link was to a company and was not regarding tow straps but that was the first thing that popped up when you went to the site)from another post not that long ago and I saw a fancy one that I wanted, but I didn't get it because I didn't need it at that time. Now, I can't find the link. I would rather not have the flat strap kind because that's what I had that broke.

225 WATTS?!?! reach who?! NASA?! sheesh!

Towing/recovery straps...

Make sure you get a recovery strap, not a lifting strap... recovery straps will stretch more. I use a Keeper brand 3 inch wide, 30 foot long strap with a load rating of 30,000 lbs. It was about $40 five years ago... slightly more now. The auto parts store down the street has a 30 foot, 6 inch, 60,000 lb one I've been drooling over for months... but it's $150! Sweet, though!

OK, off the topic... jumper cables, the trailer hitch I use for actually pulling a trailer, the aforementioned tow strap, crescent wrench (for checking the hitch ball) leather gloves, folding shovel, two moving blankets, assorted electrical wires, connectors, fuses, zip-ties crimping pliers/wire cutters, etc, map, pocket knife, basic first aid kit (band aids, neosporin, etc).. I think that's about it... just the basics.
