DSM Toolkit
As these should have been equip'd with these stock... they weren't.
I am trying to put together some tools and stuff to keep in the hatch for repairs that are sure to come. What do you guys think woudl be some good stuff to put in one?
Thanks!

Re: DSM Toolkit
DSM's did come with a basic toolkit in a little black vinyl pouch. Anyways, you'll want a 10, 12, and 14mm socket with extensions, a phillps head screwdriver, and a lot of zip-ties.

Re: DSM Toolkit
Spare DSM of the same year in full working form, available for any parts that need to be stripped off of it, or to just take out & drive when the first one breaks down.
...Hrm, maybe some zip ties or tie-downs to hold it in place all wrapped up in your trunk.

Re: DSM Toolkit
A stress ball. In reality, what Chris mentioned is pretty decent, maybe add in some electrical tape and a straight slot driver as well.

Ummmmm.....read my post more closely.
Pliars always seem to come in handy. So do spare spark plugs.

Re: DSM Toolkit
I welded a hitch on a full-size MAC toolbox and tow it around behind my hooptie. You never know when you're going to have to do a quick ring job on the side of the road.

Re: DSM Toolkit
Oooh! I'm abandoning my full spare dsm-in-the-trunk idea. Instead, strap in one of those mini crotch-rockets. That way when you break down you have some wheels to get you where you need to go. Should actually fit, too!

Re: DSM Toolkit
Actually, the pocket bike fits quite nicely, and you can even put the hatch cover over it. I made a few passes with that in the back.

Re: DSM Toolkit
If you have non stock rims that need a special socket to get off make sure you have it. My rims need a 13/16 deep socket or something like that to get them off.
