No Doubt A Pointless Thread, But Lets Build The Perfect 3rd Gen Tool Box

So not sure where to post this since we dont have a 'lounge' type board but if you were building a tool box to only work on 3rd gens what would you put in it?


If this is a stupid thread so be it

A complete set of assorted bolt/nut/retainer kit like the ones at Carquest. The retainers on these cars are ridiculous!

My number one tool is this forum followed by my factory service manual.

Actually I think the manual may be in first. LOL

Same as any other car I've owned. Flat and philips drivers, 10-14mm spanners, pliers & sidecutters, multimeter, duct tape, spool of wire, and MOST important - locking pliers. Gets me out of most scrapes.

Assume we are just talking the roadside toolbox here.
