Bow Ties Are Cool
Story time!
What one thing are you so glad you had in your truck that totally saved your a$$ and why?
Be it while 4-wheeling, Road-tripping, or daily commute. What one thing will you always keep in your truck after that experience? Doesn't need to be life saving or dramatic, maybe it was a random granola bar stopping your transition from Hangry to "I'm gonna die" hunger. Or maybe it was a previsouly forgotten stuffed animal that was found in the 12th hour of your cross-country trip and entertained your children a bit longer. I don't care... Just throw it out there!
I'll kick it off:
**This wasn't in the truck, but luckily it was in the trailer being towed, and now I keep one in all of my vehicles.
I'll always keep a fire extinguisher in the truck:
Following my dad to go camping, he was driving 3/4 ton ram towing full size travel trailer, I finally called him after 10 minutes of smelling burning rubber but not seeing smoke (I thought maybe it was one of the cars in front of him), as we walked around the truck and trailer on the shoulder, I notice a small wisp of smoke come from under the back of the truck, somehow the exhaust had caught the spare tire on fire. Crazy because he's towed trailers with this truck for years with zero problems, and it was only like 70 that day (not exactly record setting heat). Nonetheless, had we not had a fire extinguisher in the trailer, that trip would've had a very different ending... After this we drove straight to a store and each bought fire extinguishers for our vehicles.
