ok so i know when wheeling there are certain accesories to bring along in case a "situation" occurs. i was wondering what you guys bring along with you or keep in your xj at all times. i have a recovery strap and a full size spare and a small jack but what else would any1 suggest?

 

u should get a bumper jack, im still worken on gettin one myself
but...
1. a buddy with a 4x4
2. a 30 pack
3. girls
4. cell phone
5. shovel
6. a flashlight never hurts
7. tools just in case
8. common sense
9. more beer
10. and more girls

k so i had fun with this one but some of those are 4real tho

 

hahah yes some of those gave mea good chuckle. im looking on upgrading my jack to a bumber jack. also a shovel is a very smart idea and ill get a flashlight also. what kinda tools do you think i should bring?

 

Basic 3/8 drive socket set with SAE and Metric. Basic set of combination wrenches with SAE and Metric. phillips and strait slot screwdrivers. pliars, dikes, channel locks, vice grips and needle nose pliars. A basic set of torx tips. (you will use them more than you think). Crescent Wrench and Pipe wrench (just in case) (you will use these more then you think, too).

 

Oh, I forgot miscellaneous hoses, clamps, wire, nuts, bolts, screws and most important duct Tape.

 

i got a little tool bag with screw drivers, ratchets, electrical tape, linemans, dikes, wire cutters, needle nose, a hammer and a bunch of other junk. i always take it with me, and its cool cuz when ever i go to work on my jeep my tools are in the back already

 

Darn, forgot again, a gallon jug of water, bottle of: oil, tranny fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, gear oil, can of spray lube, all purpose grease.

 

I've built a pretty extensive survival kit over time and from learning many lessons the hard way...LOL.

 

clearly dang getting all that stuff all at once will cost me a fortune lol. i will work on building up everything you guys have mentioned right away. thanks guys

 

yeah gota have water... i dont take alot of other stuff with me but i usually go mudding in places close to home so if i gota go get some stuff its not a big deal, if ur out in the wilderness doing some hard core off roading then yeah go the whole 9 yards

 

I have a bottle jack and a hi-lift ( the hi-lift isn't the best for changing tires)
I take a jug of 50/50 mix of water and coolant
jumper cables
shovel
recovery strap (w/loops not hooks)
a first aid kit in case I break down
blanket in case I need to sleep in the jeep
cell phone ( however I do need to get a cb)
fire extiguisher
a spare set of clothes
a flash light and a lantern
an ax
a knife
at least 4-5 qts. of oil
and that is just the stuff that I never take out of the jeep

 

dont forget zipties, they always come in handy. random things like bungees cords or ratchet straps will come in handy also. i have a tool kit thats always in the back and a milk crate with random things like some extra fluids, jumper cables, mini sledge, rubber mallet, oversized wrenches/sockets, i think a couple ujoints, trash bags, paper towels or a rag or two, etc.

 

and some other stuff is some survival gear just incase you wonder off and realize you forgot all your recovery gear at home or some other reason.

a bright orange tarp, signal mirror, at least a gallon of water for yourself (seperate from the water for the coolent), blanket, food, knife, and or gun + extra ammo if you can carry it

 

that is a pretty extensive list
