reposting your own stuff. Sad.
Since I didn't see that, AT ALL!, I would say this: I think PRP sells some swanky tool bags to match their seats. But I would probably hit the military surplus stores and find something there instead. Lots of useful bags with pockets and straps and all that. *shrug*

and later..........
guess I should have searched... getting old ya know.
ps, the price of that cable is increasing.
ya.... I deserve that....
Thanks for the back up Tac.
I'll pay 10x the previously agreed upon price and NO more.
You have no room for negotiations.

I found a pretty cool one at Lowes last night. It'll replace my Craftsman bag with the broken zipper.
Ya... $$
Alright, 12x and that's my final offer
There you go Shawn, maybe he'll give that to you.

It was $30. I've bought one that's given me good service at AutoZone (of all places) and another one at Sears that's been a pile, but it's still in use.
I think I paid $20 for the Autozone one and I've not been nice to it. It's had recovery type stuff in it forever. Sharpish, heavy things. It just split this year on my last trip to Moab. I want to find another heavy, padded type bag like that again. I haven't seen one, but I'll pay up to $50 for one.
The Sears one, I've used for 'clean' things. Electrical tools/spares and misc. things that I wanted to keep clean/dry. It worked OK in my XJ, but since I don't have a top, I need a zippable bag to keep 'clean' stuff clean.
The one I just got, has TONS of pockets of about the right size (dikes, slip joint, needle nose, electrical pliers), a place for my favorite hammers, a few screwdriver/prybar spots, a couple of pick tools and a bigger compartment I can wrap a few spare parts in and a 60 hub socket (what do I need for a 14 bolt spindle?---haven't really thought about that yet).
I'll carry a little less in this rig than in the XJ (shocker, I know). I've got a full set of ratchets/wrenches in a ChannelLock thingy. They're not uber-quality, but good enough and somewhat conveniently sized for most things on my 'Jeep'.
I've got the 'new' bag that should keep most of my other tools, and I want to keep another bag of 'spare' stuff (spare 60 spindle, bottle jack, and a bunch of misc. crap that seemed to get used a lot in the XJ--for my rig or anybody elses) in the tow rig or have a place for it in the 'Jeep' if I do a Rubicon type trail.

I use an Army surplus bag. Takes one hell of a beating, but not alot of nifty pockets.

No problem. I can't search either, so...
The cripples have to stick together or it's all over for us. When I had a rig that was complete AND running, I had a modified Israeli paratrooper bag, they're like $15 or something, I just cut it open and stitched loops on it. Basically made a big, roll-up tool bag with a shoulder strap. I kept shop rags in it for the padding. I donated it to my little brother, who still has it.
My work truck is currently holding a cheap Craftsman socket/wrench set, in the cheesy case, behind the seat. Not a bag, but it's been very handy. I think some under-seat tool holder thing might be a good thing to plan for.
