Very handy. Although I think most my pinky is still in one.
Bag of lye but yes know where you're going. Lol

A testament to the gloves - that they remained in tact and your hand didn't.
true. It was more of a getting a pinky caught between a wheel spoke and caliper, wrench slipped and hand in wrong place. It tried to cut it off, but your 100% correct without the glove the pinky would have been goner. Very deep cut with lots of blood and some carnage left. But finger is intact and healed fine.

I've got a lot more crap to throw in there still but here is what I have this far. Excluding spare stuff, jumper cables, and recovery gear kinda stuff.

Better question is how are people securing their tools so that when they are bouncing over rocky roads they don't get all jumbled up?
I put all mine is canvas bags and wrap the noisy ones in red shop towels.
I was never really concerned about tools however I never left the driveway without a gas credit card.

I actually keep my toolbag in my 80, and use the tailgate as a workbench for most other things. Tool-bag includes among other things, hub socket (2-1/4" or whatever size craftsman socket with 1" to 1/2" reducer), combination wrenches in 10/11, 12/14, 17/19, couple pairs of vise grips, three 3/8" drive ratchets, two 1/2" drive ratchets, two universal wrenches (ball peen hammer and dead blow hammer), sockets from 7mm to 24mm and a 30mm. A few standard sockets (like the 15/16 which is the same as a 24mm) screwdrivers, door panel tool, tie rod end remover, axe, shovel, tire plug kit, wire. This is all in a cloth toolbag inside a plastic wallyworld container with a lid, ratchet strapped to the floor.
Another box has a tent, solar shower, netting, firestarting kit, first aid kit, ponchos, plastic bags, trash bags,4 way tire iron, power inverter, drop light with 25' cord and 120v adapter, recovery kit.
Having them in boxes makes them easy to move out of the way, and the boxes make handy seats and steps to get in the back.

One of the best and most used tools of mine has been a 3 lb brass hammer I purchased many years ago from Acklands-Grainger.
whatever you bring, make sure you know how to use it and what it's used for, otherwise follow NLXTCY's advice.

chunks of foam...the kind that you get for free from buying autozone brand brake pads! or old sofa cushions
Just curious, since I am a new 80 owner: why the standard wrenches? I thought everything on the 80 is metric. Please, educate me
