What do you carry?

crash2 · Jan 9, 2013

So since I am finally getting my rig up to par I figured it was time to also go thru what I got and update it all. I have always prided myself on being self sufficient in the woods and I like to do the occasional solo runs.

So tonight I started with spare stuff I carry.

Serpentine belt
Hydro hose with fittings (When I rework my rig I will convert to the replaceable ends and just carry a chunk of hose)
Fittings at the ram (90 degree elbo's)
ARB hose, switch, solenoid and pressure switch
Fuel pump
Valve stems (rubber and metal) and valves
Toyota trunnion bearings
Small selection of nuts/bolts (both standard and metric)
Small chunks of steel
Couple 3/4 hiems with 3/4 to 5/8 insert
Bailing wire
Nylon rope
Garbage bags.
Selection of wire crimp stuff from butts to eyelets
Some chunks of wire
Couple relays
Cotter pins
Zip ties in different sizes.
Front axle U-joint
1310 U-joint and U-bolts
1350 U-joint and U-bolts

My next chore is go thru my tools.

I guess you have trunnion bearings for the same reason I have 1310's in my box.

Tire plug kit, brake fluid, elec tape, zipties, brakleen and wd-40 are my most commonly used/borrowed items.

I just got started

But ya I can't remember how many times I have come across broken toys where I can help them to the point there bearings are in pieces...

I wheel with Jimmy so 1310's are a hot commodity even though all mine are yota. :corn:

Your pretty much ****ed when I see ya. :FIREdevil:

I typically bring food and drink and I am willing to trade my buddies lunch for the things I need. Much better then carrying all that crap myself when everyone I wheel with has spare parts and tools. I need to get a microwave in there and I wont even have to work on mine when it breaks. Im the resident 6 foot 180lb fat ass of my group.

I need to do the same. I used to know exactly what was in there but after my flop a few months back everything got jumbled and tossed back into the bag and action packer.

The good thing about wheeling Elbe and Evans is if you do break most times a main road (9 road at Elbe, or one of the forest roads at Evans) isn't that long of a winch or tow. And then its limp mode back to the trailer.

Unlike the Cheese when I pretzled my driveline. that was a long trip back to the trailer.

Not enough.

1330 u joint u-bolt kit, crankshaft position sensor, ARB splice & solenoid, tire plug kit. I think that's about all that's in my rig right now.

Been in its original box for like 10 years and just recently found it going thru stuff. My old buddy mike dixon used to use it in his 4 runner and it worked great.
