Top 10 list: Vehicle Failure

[mbryson]

.................. In moab, I leave most of it in teh truck for weight/space reasons.

I think I'm going to have to learn how to do that. The 'Tool Shed' is no longer......

 

[Hickey]

I always bring a BFH, a good assortment of adjustable wrenches and some silicone. A large zip lock bag to catch diff oil in can be usefull too.

[Shawn]

I don't need spare parts............... I run Rattle Snake.











Tire would be top on my list I guess I need to build a rack..........

 

[utahxjer]

Did you give me the bungy cord? I tried finding out who it was but I couldn't remember. If so, I still have it if you want it back.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

2nd Gas tank repair ****
3rd alternator belt.
4th fuel pump/filter

That's all that has really tried to stop Blacky from runnin in 3 years.
Beer always comes in handy when I need to pull up a seat if Skychrome or someone of that Caliber are traveling in your group...

I have broke two shackle hangers - I carry an extra one now. Also a couple things that have come in handy (that haven't been mentioned) was a C clamp, and an easy out set. I plan installing an inverter on the jeep and maybe carrying a drill. (I broke a spring pack bolt which sheered off. I was lucky my brother had a cordless drill)

 

[EZRhino]

OK guys, that was a great list of broken parts. Now what TOOLS do you carry on the trail?

Here are three pics of what I currently carry. I've narrowed it down pretty far from the 80 pound toolbox that used to be bouncing around the back of the jeep.....wondering if there is anything critical I left out.

First pic is the "commonly used items". Screwdrivers, 1/4 drive socket set, my trusty channel locks, and air up/down gizmos.

Second pic are the basics: wrenches, vice grips, 12" crescent wrench, snap ring and needlenose, BFmS (Big F... medium Screwdrivers) and allen wrench set.

Third pic is the bigger stuff....big 1/2 drive sockets, complete 3/8 set in metal case, BFH, metric socket rack, big box ends, puller.

Missing from the photo are pickle fork puller and pitman arm puller. Also no incidental repair items are present (duct tape, wire, misc bolts and nuts, tire patch kit, etc. Neither are spare parts (shafts, U joints, etc.))

Am I missing anything?

[pokeyYJ]

diagonal cutters, pry bar

 

[Spork]

I usually carry a bigger hammer...

One thing I've found helpful for keeping it all organized is I put all my wrenches on a carabiner. I just hook it through all the box ends and have one for standard and one for metric.

 

[Medsker]

Here is the list I have been working on... feel free to add/deduct... this is specific to my application... I am trying to have all this stuff either in my Cruiser or packed in the "Trail Trailer"

Knife, maybe a lighter. Lighter is good for patching small holes . Not sure if those are tools but I use my knife a lot.
