Off-road tool kit

I've done a couple searches and didn't see what I was looking for. Has anyone gone through and made a list of all the tools needed to make trail side repairs? I know these are new trucks but stuff does break. If you have made a off-road tool kit what do you have in it and what spare parts do you carry?

 

Stock or not? If so what mods? My truck requires special tools and lubricants for things like my king shocks and uni-balls. I carry an assortment of pliers, breaker bar, ratchet, 6mm-28mm sockets, adjustable wrenches, flashlight, ratcheting screwdriver, bit set, and a bunch of specialty tools. This is all I can think of off the top of my head at least.

 

sub'd for more info

 

I’ve heard a 10mm socket is good to have.

 

AAA card and a sat phone.

 

All jokes aside, in my decades of travel, I've needed water, oil, bailing wire, duct tape and zip ties ... plus maybe a hammer and vise grips, more than I've needed traditional tools. Also, I've needed inch-size wrenches to fix camping gear or tighten aftermarket stuff. So don't forget those.

 

BFH, channel locks, duct tape, pry bar, multi tool. Seriously.

There is no possible way to carry all the correct tools you might need without bring a trailer full. You gotta be generic man because, chances are, you will be fixing somebody else's vehicle or something not even vehicle related.

 

mine is lifted with icons

 

Yea I carry a good bit of stuff now but I was wanting to see what everyone else carried with them in case I was missing something I could add it

In my parts box I have a spare cv axle, lug nuts,lug studs, coolant, oil, and some steering parts

 

I keep a roll of gorilla tape and a multi tool in my compartment under the rear seat. Also, about 6 free Harbor Freight flashlights all over the truck.

 

Tagged for future interest.

All I have is: a few water bottles, bungee cords, zip ties and 100’ of 550 cord.

 

This is what @Crom put together for the 2nd gen. Might be a bit of help for some of you.

Tow straps
Come-a-long
Snatch blocks
Synthetic winch line extension
Milwaukee brushless cordless 1300ft lb 1/2" impact
Impact sockets
Mechanic set
Milwaukee cordless ratchet
Hot hands
First aid
High lift jack
Ratcheting wrenches 8mm-28mm

Want a arb twin compressor and a bag jack. Front armor and a winch would be nice but this can get you out of most situations although parts are usually the issue.

 

Air comp and tire plug kit in the door cubby, jump pack in the other, tool bag the size of a loaf of bread tucked behind the seat. The bag has a small extendable breaker bar, metric combo set and two ratchets with metric shallow and metric deep, channel locks, vise grips, dikes, zip ties, electrical tape, butt connectors and a combo crimper. Some guy once mentioned “what about the socket to remove the hubs” I’m like this is more of a get me home bag than a “replace my bearings in the forest for shits and giggles bag” but I threw a 36mm in there anyway in case I felt like removing my hub by the campfire. There’s other stuff I forget to mention. Like the 2 person 0* sleeping bag (I like to stretch out when I give up on cv replacement when I’m in the bush) and a pelican case full of things to pass the time on my walk back to civilization. You can never be too prepared.

 

I carry a huge adjustable wrench and zipties....I'll get er dun

 

You can pretty much get off any trail with
Metric sockets and wrenches
Zip ties
Hose clamps
Duct tape
ratchet straps.
And most important a friend to pull if needed

I broke an upper control arm on the Golden spike. Halfway through. This ratchet strap held for 6 hours of hard trail and 6 hours to flagstaff az to get a replacement

 

That's some Mcgiver stuff.

 

When your 6 hours away from anything and a tow truck can’t make it. you do what you have to. Lol.

The end of the trail is an easy dirt road next to a 1,000 ft cliff. By buddy radioed me asked if i was ok because I was falling behind him.
I replied yeah i just don’t want to fold a wheel up and run off this cliff.

My wife freaked out and asked was that possible. Then she really freaked out when I told her if the strap broke that’s exactly what would happen

 

10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm actually. Can rebuild a while front suspension on that.

 

E tool and ratchet straps.
