off road supplies?
 

I'm in the process of getting stuff to put in my truck (tools) that I'm gunna need in case something happens. I haven't gotten nything yet, but i have a few things in mind. What do yall think im gunna need?? I'm just gonna do some mud holes but nothin to serious.
thanks

water

oil never know how deep that durn hole is untill its to late

Belts and hoses. Food, first aid kit, fire ex.

fuel filter, air filter...hip waders:w2:

baling wire, ducktape and a jack

rags or towels to wipe off the windows, dont want to roll them down

and a photon laser powered by diamonds

Well, there's a couple things that are good to have.

1.) A high lift jack: Helps lift the vehicle out of deep ruts, and gain traction if your high centered. Make it easy to repair tires that are off bead as well.

2.) Basic socket set for obvious reasons.

3.) Extra fluids. Mud can be hard on those items.

4.) Screw drivers/ prybars

5.) extra clothes in case you need to get into the mud to hook up chains

6.) extra parts: Even though your not doing rock crawling, it's still possible to bend tie rods, and snap axle shafts in mud, believe me, I've seen it happen. I personally blew out my clutch in mud. No fun.

7.) Adjustable anything: Wrenches, pliers, etc. I hate looking thru my sockets, only to discover the right size is missing, and I need it.

This is just the stuff I can think of right now. May be some more stuff I think of later.:U:

x2 on first aid and fire ex. a tow strap rated high enough to pull out your truck and a buddy with his own truck. i dont know if it was mentioned but a shovel is nice to have also.

A few big garbage bags or containers in case you suck in water and have to drain your oil and get out water. Ratchet straps for broken stuff. HighLift winch attachments are a good thing to look into so you can turn it into a winch, with that being said a tree saver is a good idea. Shovel, Extra battery and deep penetrating welding rods (depending on what truck your taking) so you can hook jumper cables up to em and weld.

:U::c:

Since yer just talkin hittin some mud holes and not climbin through the mountains 200 miles from any help all you really need is the fire extinguisher and a buddy with another truck, cell phone and a tow strap. Anything past that is do-able and if you packed everything you could need your truck is gonna be to weighted down to get through any holes.

First aid kit sounds neat but what are ya really gonna have besides a few bandaids that most of us never use anyway, anything serious and your gonna call an ambulance or go down the highway to the hospital.

lol Isn't that the truth:c: Duct tape:c:

alright thanks guys, now to the store!! :bat:

I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it Uncle Bubba. I usually learned, there is more than one use for something, and if you can't use it, someone else can. I used cold air intake tubing that was left over from my Firebird to patch up someone tranny line that had rubbed through. Got him the whole way home without having to pay for a tow truck, or bother a buddy for his trailer.

1.) someone else with a truck!! bad things happen when ur alone
2.) First aid kit. others may say sure your not far from anything but you will be surprised what you might need!
3.) cooler with goodies
4.) RECOVERY POINTS FRONT AND REAR!! too many people never have a front hook and get stuck where they have to be pulled forward
5.) Tools! everything adjustable and the most common ones you use on the drivetrain
6.) water and a squeegie from a gas station :U:
7.) straps/chains/rope/tackle blocks etc. as much as possible!
8.) misc fluids

You really have to plan for what you are going to do and how long you plan to do it. i'm wheeling for a few hours tonight mainly light mud and a little trails, maybe some pulls so i'm leaving the spare parts and most of my gear home, bringing some fluids, hilift, towstraps, misc tools, first aid kit is 100% always in the truck, spare clothes. If i'm out for the day or longer I bring the above list and then some.. if i'm playin for a few hrs just some drinks and recovery gear

If your just goin out to play for a while not to far from home, I would just bring some recovery gear, beer, and first aid :ok1:

btw, waukeshaw is a neat area, been there a few times

Here is a good article I wrote a few years back. We ran deep and regularly into Baja with piece of mind.
