And how about the extra vehicle/trailer to carry the extra tool box and equipment. :?:

Team J.a.G.'s mishap a week ago brought home to many of us the need to have a good tool kit on board for those (hopefully rare) occasions when something drastic has to be done to get you out of a sticky situation. I certainly have updated my tool kit since then.

I currently have:
A set of long reach 3/8" drive sockets 8-19mm with extension and ratchet
A set of flexihead ratchet combination spanners 8-19mm
A set of stubby combination spanners 10-19mm
A 21mm long reach socket 1/2" drive
A 36mm socket with 1/2" drive adaptor
A 1/2" drive wheel nut socket
1/2" drive ratchet and extension
1/2" drive torque wrench and speedbrace
Philips and straight blade screwdrivers
Binding wire, gaffer tape, insulating tape, self amalgamating tape
DIY hose clip set
rope and cord, sharp knife
pliers, side cutters
shifters, pipe pliers

Tubeless tyre plugging kit

Still have to throw in a hammer or two

I think that's all. What do you have?

Oh, I forgot - I've also got the full workshop manual on my laptop! Don't usually take that with me for a weekend drive but it will certainly be there for the long trips. Plus of course the HF radio to get me in contact with JeepAssist!

Greg had the distinct honour of being the first guy here to explode his front diff, spectacularly, metal and oil all dropping out the bottom, and grinding metal noises.

Thanks Cmohr for keeping me in the loop. I did see the other thread about it in the end. Woah that sux but looks like things will be on the mend soon, hopefully without too much pain in the hip pocket.

Just read pipeliner's post about the laptop - i'll second that.

My probs seem to be mainly electrical - so a test pen, bits of wire, heat shrink are in the kit.
(in addition to most of what's posted above)

I like the sandwiches recommendation. maybe No1 on the 'emergency repair kit' is an Engel (with standalone battery) and lots of cool cool beverages...
