im surprised no one has said spark plug sockets yet
a magnet on a stick thing for getting bolts you dropped out of the engine compartment is useful
trays to hold stuff when you take it out

ME--
**Swivle sockets in both 1/4 and 3/8--get them as small and as large as possible.
**LARGE continious extension in all sizes--when you are using the impact to many extensions make for to much play.
**OTC front end pullers/Kit--stay away from pickle forks--they "fork" up stuff--
**Torque wrench in Inch Lbs and Foot
**Good circuit tester
**Test Light--a good one
**Lots of various jumper wires and clips
**Soldering Gun

Toyota Tool Bag
Something I'll share with you that I find works quite well are tool bags. Those cheap little bags like you find at harbor freight or the surplus store. I use 6 of them set up with Metric Wrenches in one, Metric Sockets, SAE Wrenches, SAE Sockets, Misc Tools (pliers, screwdrivers, allen wrenches, short handle hammer, etc) and Electrical (switches, fuses, wire, connectors, crimpers, stripers, side cutters, etc.) These can fit behind the seat or on the passenger floor. If I need something, I grab the bag I need without having to dig through a clunky tool box. I don't have to load and unload a 40 Lb tool box. And the tools don't rattle on the trail. (Most of the time I carry the tool bags in an in the bed storage box that locks). I carry extra fluids, water, BFH (hammer) shovel, tow strap etc. Works pretty well for me and my little truck.

That is a good idea, I've been meaning to pick up some of those.

I like the idea of cute little tool bags. I have a few tool bags myself, but I keep them in a truck box, thats bolted down, and has a lid. This keeps little tool bags from hitting me or my passeger, in a rollover!
