Spare repair gear while 4x4

[RedLeg0811]

I just thought I would see what other people brought when out in the field? What tools besides wrenches and screw divers do you bring? How about spare parts?

Thanks
Martin

Definitely some bailing wire!!! actually it is really handy. I am working on my trail kit now too.

Duct Tape - holds parts together
Zip Ties - reenforces Duct tape.
Bailing wire, reenforces Zip ties
Welding rod - gives up and glues parts together.
Beer- Buys what parts and labor you need.

All kidding aside, I carry to much stuff.
Once you brake a part, buy 2.
Watch what friends brake, and look into carry one of those. Next time you are working on your rig, work out of your trail tools only, that will show you what you need.

anything you have replace don your truck without needing to replace it, like i replaced my starter solinoied but i kept the old one in the tool box

If you still have a rag joint in your steering carry one of those, a spare rear transfer case output shaft is also a handy thing to have.

Spare dist cap/rotor
probably have a few more items that I havent looked at in years but really I just carry real basic stuff as I dont wheel as hard as some people and I'm pretty confident in my assesment of the parts that are currently in use. I inspect my bronco a lot.

4,6 and 8" C-clamps

I bring a spare battery in addition to what I've seen here.

Assuming that you run one of those circular air cleaners, another use for tape (HVAC tape that is) is to cover the front of your air intake so water doesn't get sucked in when you hit a puddle. That one's courtesy of the Holopaw gang. (thanks guys)

Never wheeled the EB yet. Learned a Four wheel drive John Deere with duals and a Hundred foot of logging chain, sure helped my Yota.

Luckily tool wise you can take just a few size wrenches and fix about anything on the bronco. In addition to many of the things that have already been said I aslo carry a small fold up tree saw. It has saved us several times. Last time we wheeled we had a very built, and expensive, jeep get stuck on a large tree root. Instead of winching him off and probably putting a hole in his oil pan and transmission pan, we were able to cut through the root. It took a little sweat, but well worth it. Doesn't take up much space either. I also carry a small roll of wire incase you have a fuse or something burn up that you have to rewire.

Here's my checklists. Accumulated from years of mistakes, and long nights brainstorming with buddies over a cold drink and a cigar that we put this together.

Any of you are welcome to use them. If you have anything to add, let me know. The idea is for them to be open source for anyone to use. "Learn from my mistakes";D
