Reading through patterdales thread it got me thinking about other things we should have in our broncos.
A couple things I try to have on the bronco.
Fire extinguisher, you never think you'll use it but if you ever need it you will be happy you have one. First time I took my bronco out the wires in the engine bay started on firer. I screamed FIRE like a little girl. Glad I put that extinguisher on there.
I high lift jack, they can be unsafe and scary to use but when nothing else will work they can be very handy. We was out wheeling in my buddies scout one time and we got high centered and no one was around to help so we jacked the rear end up then pushed of the jack. It came down perfect on the other side of the hill and we drove away. Not to mention if you don't have a winch a couple chains and a high lift and now you have a Manuel winch.
Tools. We probably all carry tools with us but to be a little more specific, something to tighten lug nuts. Have you ever been out wheeling and had some lug nuts come lose? If you don't have the tool to tighten them then it can make for a real crapy day. Sometimes you can't get them tight enough with a ratchet. This has actually happened to me more then once. The last time this happened I was up in the hills by my house just for a little trip so I didn't take my tools. I had to wait for someone to come by and help. And what do you know it was a jeep. :-[
And one more that you might not think of tell you need it, a light. One that I like is the one they use to put in older Chevys. They have them under the hood, it's attached to about a 10' wire and has a little magnet on it pull it out and place it where you need it and when your done it has a little reel.
There are plenty of other obvious things that we take with us, this is just for things that can be over looked
What else do you carry?
