My toolbox is currently the backseat of the 4runner since that's where the majority of my metric stuff lives. I have a toolbox in the garage full of standards but it's not exactly accessible. Realistically I need 2 sets of tools. One for the garage and one for the trail so I'm not constantly losing stuff when I'm working out of the backseat. I have a habit of putting stuff down in the garage instead of back in the 4runner.
Yeah. I finally bought another set of some of the basics to leave in the garage. Every tool I’ve ever used on the truck, stays with the truck. We’re too spontaneous and I’d never remember to pack properly, so I have two canvas bags that hold everything except the breaker bar and the 250lb torque wrench. One bag is for mechanical work and the other is for electrical work. All told, our trails tools weigh 25 lbs.
The problem would arise where I needed some simple tool while at home, and would have to dig the bags out of the bed. They’re not the easiest thing to get to since our space is limited. Our spare tire rides in the front of the bed on the bedslide, face down, so I can put the tools inside the back of the wheel and then shovel, ax, and bow saw strapped over top.
Now we have a handful of garage tools and a complete set of truck tools.
