Re: Ultimate Emergency Tool Box

For those folks who are familiar with the AR15.com forum, they have thread after thread for when the "SHTF" (@$%$ Hit The Fan) scenarios. And what you have in your SHTF box along with your AR.

This thread reminded me of those threads. My ultimate emergency box would contain more than just vehicle supplies.

Re: Ultimate Emergency Tool Box

I this list of stuff you carry around everyday?

This seems like tool box or bag you would have in the garage and throw in back when your gonna go wheeling. From what people are saying its like people run around with all this stuff as if they are on the verge of going on an expedition at any second.

Good list for something that you have in the garage and use when you go wheeling. But if anything happens in the city call the insurance tow truck to come pick you.

You're talking as if an FJ would break down in the city. ........

Re: Ultimate Emergency Tool Box

First aid kit
Fire extinguishers (front and rear)
Co2 Tank (compressors break and overheat at times)
Metric Sockets (10, 12, 14, 17, 35mm)
ratchet with 3", 6" and 12" extensions
Set of metric gear wrenches
Cordless or air ratchet or impact wrench
Rubber mallet
Ball peen hammer
Large Pry bar
Torque wrench
Common wire connectors and crimper
Electrical tape
Rubber backed mat to lay on.
Lots of different sized screw drivers (flathead and philips).
Pouch or allen wrenches
Head lamp
Hacksaw and extra blades
Gasket maker
Lock tight
PB Blaster
Brake Cleaner
Slider adapter for High-Lift
Tree Saver
Snatch Block
D-Links
Wheel chocks

Yes I carry a lot of stuff, but I hate not being prepared. I know you wanted to keep this on tool box items, but it is very important to be able to repair a CV on the trail. Expect them to fail, it is the weakest link in the drive train.

CV Axle assembly
Left and right diff seals
Couple extra c-clips for the CV


And for goodness sake, take those sway bars off!
