I would like to see what is in your Astro/ Safari Van's tool box!

I guess I'm a little nosey.

No really, I am hoping to help fellow new owners with a list of "must have tools"
It would be a great addition to the thread about emergency repairs on the go.

Thanks

The picture i get is that your van is a toolbox ! paint it red and put a snapon logo on its side.

and a piece of 6 inch silver air duct for home use bent in the shape of a handle and fill it with foam on the top :rofl:
