im sure im forgetting alot of what i carry. im not including the food and drink that we all take with us in our coolers.
this is just for a day trip i increase of course if im going camping then i include all that gear as well.
im still refining it every trip i go out to make it smaller and or weigh less.
as i find lighter tools i replace them, lighter boots replace them, smaller jack that goes as high, replace the old ones etc. i think there's great fun in being prepared or at least THINKING your prepared. i know that if i break down and absolutley cant fix it on my own or somehow limp out i can last a week in my jeep waiting for help.
to what RWKHAUS said though he is absolutely right. when you carry this much stuff it HAS to be secured i have a box in the back and everything that sits on top of it is ratchet strapped down. i HIGHLY recommend moving your spare tire OUTSIDE of your xj. more room and its less likely to try to kill you in a rollover.
