What are the minimum tools to take in your k5 offroad?
Starting to load up my K5's tool box and just wondering what is really needed to stow aboard. Any pic's of your stowage would be great!

Three things that spring to mind are shovel, tow strap, extra water (not in the toolbox, though). In wintertime I'd include a warm blanket, some kind of food, and a way to start a fire.

Items that have helped me in the past while 4 wheeling include:
Winch, tow straps/shackles/choker chain, tools, vehicle fluids, extra gas/water, flashlights, shovel, tarp (canvas tarp especially), tire repair kit, electric pump, 6-ton bottle jack, GPS receiver, and 4x4 block of wood.

Same things they said, plus... zipties (especially several of the big heavy ones), electrical tape and a knife... repairs lots of issues enough to help you limp back out. I also always keep old belts in box after get new ones.
We made this storage box last year, so can all my straps, tools & spare parts somewhat secure from people (out of sight & locked good enough to keep honest man out) and from bouncing around. Additionally I have an ammo box with rainsuit, jacket, toilet paper & 1st aid kit. I ratchet strap it to the floor...welded small D-rings throughout bed for this.

Re: What are the minimum tools to take in your k5 offroad?
All good stuff! Thank's everybody. Was actually looking for some specific all around tools to carry in the tool box. Screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. I don't have a whole lot of room, and looking for ideas on some universal tools to carry just in case of a breakdown out on the trails.
