If you hate chain and you hate tow straps, you can get some good synthetic winch line cheap these days. In my offroad rig I have a hunk of 75' or so I think and it is rated over 20klbs. Also have a cheapo amazon organizer to keep the toolbox mayhem down.

Local fisherman, while a soldier in Vietnam did some rigging and splicing for his Sargent etc.. When he came home he took his skill and networking to form a company that now builds helicopter "Fast Lines" for the military (GSA Schedule stuff). Company became huge in a tiny tiny town. My guess is that every "Fast Line" used by any Vet here... or any SEAL Team currently... came from Diggs, VA.

Ocean Products Research https://www.opr-rope.com/ (FYI, their website is hacked at the moment, so link is a no go). Facebook link is here with a phone number... https://www.facebook.com/oprrope/

SUPER FRIENDLY PEOPLE!!!

Modern ropes like Spectra or Dyneema etc. are insanely strong and lightweight. Like pick up a Cummins engine with a 1/4" rope strong.

9mm rope is over 7 tons on breaking.

AMAZING STUFF... but it hates sharp edges.

Edit... OPR can also splice in eyes or whatnot. Full service Company.

I’m using Terra Grapplers for “summer tires” on a 2nd set of wheels. They’re pretty squirrely towing anything @ under 80# PSI, even my boat which is ~4K# all-in. The Exo w/3rd sidewall belt is very stable with a load.

Also, in regards to your OP. I keep a High-Torque Dewalt impact driver, 1-set each SAE and Metric deep sockets, 24” 1/2” drive breaker-bar, and 4-ton bottle-Jack behind the back seat.

Your gonna need a bigger truck or pull a trailer for all the stuff recommended. Sell the Ford and buy a Toyota. You won't need half that stuff. smile smile

I keep most of the small crap in my toolbox in one of these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DIMTWCS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&th=1

I think that's the exact model, but nor really a recommendation. I think the handle ripped off when I tried to lift it. But it does keep the box organized-ish when hauling all the fluids for the truck, plus all the fluids for a couple other machines, plus all the crap previously mentioned. I even have enough room most times to put the shovels and the hi-lift in the toolbox so I can use the whole 8 feet of bed. Crazy talk I know.

Haven’t heard mention of a spare serpentine belt and a good flashlight. And/or elastic banded headlamps. Cheap or expensive, take your pick. Like mentioned, I also carry a Bernzomatic propane torch (we just call them turbo torch). You can cook hotdogs with it too. Had a friend pull out a Jetboil. Instant coffee or hot freeze-dried meal. Damn if that didn’t hit the spot!

Oh yeah, I always have a window Mount for a spotting scope and something to drape over the door in case you want to poke a rifle out. Just in case. 🥹

I stopped in Ocean Products Research on Thursday and asked Terry for a price on "100 feet of 1/2" Spectra (Amsteel) with one eye." $300 + tax.

Stuff retails at $3.50 a foot.

I know... crazy expensive, but about 25,000 pound of usable strength.

The 1/4" is around 7,000 pound of usable strength.

Tire chains that fit correctly, while still having clearance lock-to-lock......... under any condition.
