I am trying to come up with ideas for carrying tools inside on or inside my truck - mostly things that could save me on the side of the road; I don't have any intention of crawling rocks yet. I'm mostly crawling grocery stores and running errands, and I don't want to leave a safari topped FJ40 with tools visibly in reach of anyone who walks by.
All I really have to work with currently is a very barebones 1980 FJ40 which means I have a glovebox. I had thought about getting a canvas tool roll with wrenches and pliers and secure that somehow inside the engine bay, or somehow attaching a toolbox to the jumpseats where it's not easily stolen. Another idea was to get some kind of center console to put between the seats and figure out some way of attaching that.
I'm sure someone has more clever ideas than me - what do you guys suggest?
Also I'd love to hear what everyone carries with them - I'm very new to car maintenance in general, and anything that would save me calling AA for a tow that I could fix myself would be great.
