Damn Jes.. where the fawk do you sit?

 

[Jump This]

I printed out Jes's entire list.....
I think I'll try to duplicate it as much as possible...
Although I bring along a small floor jack rather then the stock Jeep jack...
along with over 50' of tow rope.... :cheers:

 

[Capt. Nemo]

I bring much of the same stuff as Jes, but I also bring a cordless drill with extra battery packs. Came in very handy last time out on the Rubicon.

 

[GSequoia]

Okay, first of all I'm not a WCGIC guy like Jes, so I don't need to have enough spare parts on to build a new XJ, after all, we all know that I just wheel in mall parking lots.

I tend to carry the following:

Hi-Lift
20' strap
30' chain for Hi-Lift winch kit
ALL my tools (too lazy to seperate them out)
Emergency kit: First Aid, Spare water, Emergency blanket, food (MRE's)
Shovel and Hatchet
Paper towels
Thick plastic trash bags
Two mag lights (3 D cell)
Sometimes a huge spot light
800W inverter (hard wired)
Fluids (oil, trans/TC, gear, coolant)
Spare wire, duct tape, vacuum line, hose repair tape

When I'm going someplace extra far from home (such as Moab) or am otherwise feeling nervious I'll add this to the mix:

Power drill (runs off the inverter)
Dremil
Spare front shafts
Spare rear shafts
Spare U-Joints all around

I bring much of the same stuff as Jes, but I also bring a cordless drill with extra battery packs. Came in very handy last time out on the Rubicon.

Instead of extra battery packs I took a bad 14.4V battery, removed all the individual batteries, and soldered on 15' of 10 gauge wire w/ large alligator clips on the other end. Viola, all my 14.4V rechargable tools now run directly off my battery.

 

[Jump This]

Water and anti-freeze? :huh:
Inverter and air-tools?
Paper towels and TP?
All the misc. oils and fluids? (whatever happened to just a few quarts of 50w?)
I gotta say I am enjoying this one!!

[rngrfrd2000]

i like to carry as much as possible..

most guys think i am nuts until they ask me for a part....then they get the trail prices.....haha

most important think i bring with is the map!

i also would add a pocket full of cash to the list because i never seem to break a part i have with so then i buy 2 and have to find a place to jam it in the rig because i dont have a trailer yet...

p.s. lets see those TJ"s and YJ"s fit all that crap in there rig... :moon:
