I was going to say you must need to tow a trailer for that lot but then I used to carry a pile of stuff like that and its surprising how little room some stuff takes up (specially little zuk stuff).

[DieselBoy]

It seems like alot, but its so frustrating when you throw a belt, blow a hose or pop an axle and you know its a 5min job to fix, but you need the right parts to do it!!!!!

Just the two ammo box's with the axles wrapped up in oil soaked rags and plastic all together in a bundle and the steering linkages cable tied to the roll cage.

[turoa]

I take the essentials. My bahco set, some pliers, some bolts and some cable ties

[meatc]

Club trips

Basic tools, water and cable ties (if you cant fix it with cable ties you need a shed)

Comps
everything DB said plus welders, genset, waterblaster and 250l of water, box of electric bits, spare winch 4 spare tubes (plus the spare beadlocked wheel) alternator, water pump, and my big tool box. hmmmm no wonder iot was such a slow trip to vegas.

[Andrew1706]

Must admit I carry the bare essential tools but have never thought of carrying a multimeter!

[Nivapulledout]

Dieselboy yep that is a fair bit, but then it is always a compromise, takes up alot of room and weighs a bit.
but then when you Fook something and there is a spare sitting on the bench at home you kick yourself.

Spare beer, as well as emergency beer, and not forgetting the disaster beer.

Because if it all goes sideways you can always pay some other bugger smarter than me to fix my shit with beer.

Without running the risk of starting up a "what beer is best" thread.........
Speights don't work that well in this part of the country
