I ALWAYS carry a tool bag with some basic tools, especially when traveling. Back in March I had a catastrophic wheel failure while traveling at 75mph on the highway. I had a caliper bolt come loose on the right rear caliper, and then the caliper pivoted out and started rubbing on the inside of the wheel. As soon as I heard the noise, I went to stop and check it out, but then just as fast as it happened, the caliper actually cut the wheel in half just like a can opener cutting a can open. The wheel basically exploded when it did that, and being that I was cruising at 75mph, it caused a good bit of damage. Busted the shock, ripped the brake hose, and bent the brake hose banjo bolt, and brake fluid was EVERYWHERE.. A good Samaritan stopped to help me, and luckily I had enough tools to repair it on the side of the highway after he drove me to the nearest parts store to grab a new brake hose, bolts, and some brake fluid. I put the spare on after repairing the brakes and I limped it 120 more miles the rest of the way home on the busted shock.
This is a perfect example of why you should carry some basic tools. But even with tools, if that gentleman would not have stopped and offered me a ride to the auto parts store, I wouldn't have been able to fix it.

Thank god your ok bud

That box is sweet! Takes up a lot of room?

It fits perfect behind the back seat(no 3rd row)... I won the tool box a few years ago at an off road Jeep event

Thanks. It DEFINITELY could have been far worse, that's for damn sure. But I'm glad that it wasn't any worse than what it was. I didn't panic, and that played a huge part in me being able to safely maintain control of the truck and guide it to a stop on the side of the highway.

Panic would've ended that with a torn up truck or wayyyyyyy worst again glad your ok man.
