XJRedneck94

Hey guys, I know alot of you are gonna find this thread stupid and of a pointless post, but im getting my license in a week, and have been building my XJ for around 2 years. I look forward to vast amounts of off roading and camping. I am just curious of what you guys who have been doing this forever recomend to keep in an "off-road" bag? I was going to just buy a multi socket set from SEARS, but figured that with my luck it would not have what i needed most of the time and half would never be used. I know essentials like oil, water, screwdrivers, flashlights, knife, tape, first aid, hammer and pliers, but what are some safe heavens to keep for emergencies?

......thats all i can remember without looking


i find that i can never remember what i wanted to buy when i get to the store. when you think of things that might be handy on the trail just write them down. then you can prioritize the list. any of these things are cheap by themselves, but when you put them together they add up to a chunk of change.

I carry a good length of heater hose. Otherwise most of what I bring has already been mentioned.

i lucked out when i bought my XJ. the previous owner gave me his "boony box". the majority of my list above was already in it.

Someone to go with you?

a good pair of gloves may come in handy. Do you have a tarp? That with some paracord could make a nice little shelter. I personally would also keep a few different ways to make fire (lighter, and a few other options as well) also some food like cliff bars. All these aren't necessarily for wheeling but just good items to have in your vehicle just in case.
