I carry basic tools, electrical and DUCK tape, fuses, even some wire... I have zip ties (came in handy couple times) and a Ratchet, extension and socket just for the wheels. I have a spare that fits front and rear, spare lug nuts and a jump box. My jump box also doubles as a compressor. I've already came to the rescue of several people with it! A bottle jack and even an original jack wont fit under the front of my car (especially with a flat). I have a jack from a 91 T-Bird. I cut the lame handle off, it has a lug nut sized bolt head so I can use the ratchet with it. I also have a fire extinguisher and carry a gallon of water. I also have a redneck creaper (old piece of carpet to lay on). A first aid kit, brake fluid, trans fluid, etc. and funnel, etc, etc.
I normally don't carry all that stuff just running around town, but if I'm going on a long journey I do. I was lucky on the Hot Rod Power Tour, driving over 3,000 miles in 8 states in 9 days during 100 degree days, I didn't need any of it! When I went to Birmingham for the 45th, I needed the zip ties when I lost a bolt on the brake shield. I had to jump-start a fellow muStanger in Homewood and a few weeks ago I stopped to help a newly married couple on their way home from the honeymoon who had a flat and the doughnut spare was almost flat on the side of I-65. The duct tape came in handy once when my throttle linkage rod broke, I taped it together and zip tied it so it would get me home. The return spring kept stretching the tape and I had to stop several times to make an adjustment but I got home.
BUT, I don't have a Fleshlight!

I've always wanted to design a tool box type kit that would fit in between the trunk drop off and the quarter panel.
