I'm still new to wheeling game. I went out for the 2nd time today and found i was missing a few things i could have, did or would need. i'm sure quite a few of you guys have gone through this. But what's YOUR list of essentials to go out on the trails with?

 

recovery points, hilift, more then 1 strap, full change or 2 of clothes (extra socks and shoes) cheep case or 2 gallons of water in plastic jugs for cleaning washing wiping ect water or Gatorade in a cooler, and last but not least a second rig to wheel with.

 

Toilet paper, never go out without the mountain money!

 

your wifes permission

 

I hope that is one of the funniest jokes I have heard lately.

 

Doesn't sound like a joke to me man. Ive got the same problem...

 

tow straps, d-rings, tools, spare parts for stuff that could break in off-road situation, water, flashlight, hi-lift (need one of these), and stuff like that...

 

If you like to play in the mud but dont want to lay in it when you break, don't forget to pack a tarp.

 

If you don't have a winch, then get a 4 ton come-a-long hoist.

I got mine at Pep Boys. It's made by a company called Torin, & is called "Big Red"

It has two ratchet gears for added strength.

I always keep one in my YJ, & will be getting one for my XJ real soon.

Somebody doesn't belong...

I never would have thought about a tarp. I wouldn't think I'd ever try and go through mud deep enough to need one, but you never know... good idea.

 

I take flashlight, tools , first aid kit and water. since I dont have another person to offroad with I also make sure I have 2 come alongs and 2 straps oh and cant forget the Girlfriend she comes along too

 

My essentials are - a couple of log chains, come-along, a piece of cable i made hoops on both ends i got off a 10 ton crane from work, ****** block, spare tire, 4-way lug wrench, jack, tire plugs, basic tools for belts, hoses and universals. fuses, a extra quart of oil and transmission fluid... Thats prety basic of what you need, i usually dont carry anymore then that cause our wheelin' is usually prety close to home.

 

A well charged cell phone that works in the area you are wheeling in.

 

Thats if you can find a place to wheel with service, everywhere we ride there is none at all so usually everyone turns their phones off so it doesnt run it dead.
