Getting the Wheeling Fever

What do you guys have in your trucks?
I'm building a tool kit to bring with me wheen i do wheeling and as a DD.
Before I just threw alot of tools in the back and hoped it was enough.
The plan so far is to have a bag with winch equpment and a Peli Case looka like case with tools.
I'm thinking basic tools and tyre fixing stuff. Extra valves and so on.
Bring on your ideas.

I would buy a full mechanics cheapy set for the truck, keep your "good" tools at home. Then throw in a few extras Spark plug socket ratcheting wrenches needle nose vise grips Lineman's pliers battery terminal cleaner big adjustable wrench small hammer file utility knife with extra blades set screw drivers wobble extentsion punch chisel magnetic tool pick up small pry bar Duct tape electrical tape coat hanger wire electrical wire I cram all that into a old military ammo can <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
