What are some of the essential tools and gear for the trail?

 

Chain, tree savers, highlift jack, hand tools, tire plugs and air compressor, beer

 

there was a thread on this just a few days ago... search

 

Comealong, and always wheel with another rig. Extra water and food is always good. I always have a first aid kit and pistol, can glue my finger back on and shoot some dinner with those.

 

I have a flashlights, some towels, jumper cables, and some hand tools. I am getting a Hi Lift and a winch soon. I just want to know what hand tools would be most beneficial to keep in the rig?

 

....but guns and beer would be pretty awesome!!!

 

Guns and beer an intake cooked hot pockets would be awsome loll

 

I got one of those 30$ mechanic sets....has like sockets and screwdrivers, pliers and such.

 

First thing you need is to have recovery points front and rear. A tree strap, at least one recovery strap 30 foot long, at least two shackles, and never use chain as a recovery tool, it can be dangerous.

First aid kit, a good one, not the kid size. Fire extinguisher, axe and shovel.

Required tools, look at your Cherokee and figure out what you would be comfortable with doing on the trail, then look to see what tools you would need to do those repairs.
Spare parts, only those parts that you would be able to change on the trail. ( u joints, tie rod ends, maybe a fuel pump, axle shafts, etc. )

 

^^^^^^^ Well Spoken!...............and leave the Beer at home. Don't need stupid on the trail 'cause no matter how many tools you carry, ya just can't fix it.

 

Moved to Chat.

Beer is for when your done wheeling, you can still bring it. Don't drink and drive.

 

spare tire. recovery points. basic tools. fire extinguisher. ax/shovel. strap. let some on know where you'll be wheeling. whiskey. (doesn't take up as much room as beer and no ice needed)

as far a the gun thing... i'ld take a fishing pole first where i am. camping, whiskey and guns people go to the ER. camping, whiskey, and fishing pole people win $10,000 on americas funniest home videos

 

If you go camping without a gun in some parts of this country you may get eaten by a bear.

 

So true, I never venture into the woods without one

 

Hookers are always nice....
