I can't believe some of the stuff you guys keep in the trunk. Throw in a medical kit and some rope and you'll have yourself your own little search & rescue vehicle.

That's one of the things that goes into my "plastic" tool box on long trips.

Did you put the original Honda tools in the spare well just to create more space in the trunk? If not, why?

I just finished modifying the little foam tool tray to hold the rest of the tools I carry around everywhere. Using an Xacto knife and a soldering iron, I cut or melted slots into the foam to hold:

1 - 1/4" Metric socket set
12" wobbly 1/4" extension
6" 1/4" Extension
Wobblehead 1/4" Ratchet
10mm magnetic deep socket
6 razor blades in a little packet
10' measuring tape
7 piece set precision screwdrivers
2 superstubby phillips (#1 & #2)
#2 Stubby Phillips
8mm - 19mm Gearwrench ratchet head combo wrenches
8" ViseGrip
Needlenose Pliers
Tire Gauge
8" Crescent Wrench
Pencil
Wheel Lock Tool
License Plate Allen
CRKT Sampson's KISS Knife
Electrical Tape

I also cut out a bigger hole in the center to hold the plastic tray from my little toolbox (which this setup replaces)

In this tray:

4" Crescent Wrench
Super Glue
Small Level
#2 Phillips
1/4" Driver Handle
Slot Screwdriver
Petzl Zipka LED Headlamp
Matches
Razor Blade Holder
Xacto Knife


I need to take some pictures, This setup still has the jack and OEM Tools there as well.

Good job, Airborne! I was just looking at the pics in your gallery, and now I am inspired to do the same in my trunk.

Rob, you're just still too used to driving MG's. It's a Honda, you don't need em like you used to . I will agree, however, that it is better to err on the side of caution. Personally, I just carry the factory supplied tools stuffed down in the spare wrapped in rags.
