Favorite things, Defender Editon.
Do you have some little part or tool that you've used for a truck project that's just awesome? Post about it!
Things I'd love to hear about:
- The best quality zip ties anywhere
- The best hose clamps
- The best parts cleaning solution
Here are a few of my contributions to get started:
My favorite choice for wire management in wiring jobs. Once you try this, you'll never use split loom again. Expandable braided sleeving by TechFlex:

My favorite boxes to hold 12V receptacles: cast aluminum project boxes from Hammond Manufacturing.
I mounted one of these on the bulkhead behind the passenger seat and it can easily support three or four outlets: http://www.mouser.com/Search/m_ProductDetail.aspx?R=1550GBKvirtualkey54600000virtualkey546-1550GBK
Smaller one I mounted in the rear of the truck to hold my fridge receptacle (product image is not correct. It's black and much smaller.)
