Ok, what do you keep in your truck? Do you have a Kit or just a tow strap? I will be putting together a recovery bag for my Toyota 4 Runner. It will contain: 1 pair of leather gloves 2 snatch straps 1 wire winch remote 2-4 Shackles 1 can fluid film Large assortment of zip ties basic hand tools That is it so far. What do you suggest I add and what do you carry?
Some form of a jack, maybe a hi lift one? uhh a huge hammer? lol. spare tire or two. not really "bag" items, but are needed.. oh and some duct tape
Duct tape and electrical tape, thanks for reminding me!! I will eventually get a high-lift and mount it to the back role cage bar. Found a home made mount. It will be clean and out of the way!
^^ what he said. Shovel/pick, gas can, water jug, Id go with chains instead of straps, flashlight (s). also some waders of extra pants, you never know when youll get hi centered in a puddle... ive seen it many times. My rigs not a wheeler obviously, but I keep an exact double of the hand tools in my truck as i have in my work bench. I also have blocks, straps, a bin of assorted screws, bolts, nuts, wire nuts etc. Ive got hammers, squares, wire, come along, dozens of other things you could possibly think of on a jobsite... sadly you can load up your toolbox with anything and everything you can imagine, but you will always need something you dont have...
^what this guy said. I also have a bunch of rope pair of big pliers and some needle nose, philips and flathead screwdrivers, jumpercables, tiedowns, small and big cresent.....
I've got a hi-lift jack, a 180pc toolkit, my tool box with electrical stuff, tape, and zip-ties. A short 6000lb rope with hooks and then a 30' strap rated to 30,000 working lbs. Thats what I carry daily lol If I was off-roading, I'd have some chains and a shovel for sure.
I have just about every hand tool I can think that I would need, floor jack, gloves, tape, zip ties, tow strap, shackles, ratchet straps, small 12v air compressor, flashlight, bolt cutters, gojo, towels, tire plugs, jumper cables, and some other stuff I caint think of. But I don't do that much off-roading.
