Saws and gear now a days. I used to bump a ford escort with 2 8" subs. Damn that thing was crazy. My friends Chevy hatch back with 2 15" kickers liked to hit frozen snowmen was the hardest I was hit by subs.
 
I installed a cd player and a 10" subwoofer in a chipper truck I used to drive a lot. It was cool!

A hitch-mounted cargo platform is nice for gas and such.
 
Just keep 'em locked up in a secured box if outboard. Hotlanta and the greater Nashville area has a lot of gear thieves. Giving new meaning to "hot saws."
 
I try to chain and lock my saws together inside the truck. A lot harder to pry-grab-dash, when you're trying to pull a bunch of saws through a tool box door that is big enough for the big saw, barely. Pulling 6 saws out of the tailgate from the front end of the bed would be a chore, even.

If regularly using a cargo platform, I'd definitely have a cable or chain running through everything and the frame, and cover it up. No need to advertise.
A very lightweight plywood box, finished neatly, on a cargo rack could look good and hide valuables.

Tweekers will siphon gas.


My cargo platform is useful, occasionally, especially if I want to run to town to fuel up. I don't have space in the truck for a half-dozen gas cans. I can easily make the run to the gas station in any vehicle. Cheap, too, for the usefulness.
 
Locking them all together like that is a sure-fire way to slow them sunsabitches down. It's a crying shame that you have to do it at all!
 
Stealing work gear is the lowest of the low.

Flogging to death comes to mind as a fitting punishment. Publicly as an example.
 
My Poulan was Stolen... when I was doing property maintenance in Florida, I had a cheap-o ugly purple-n-green Poulan blower (maybe $80) under the car port, tucked away. It was taken, as was a toolbox that only contained some random screw drivers, a scrench, and some string trimmer line. Ahh well, excuse to upgrade to an Echo blower before the next week's cycle of mowing & blowing began.
