Just wondering what everyone packs up for their road trips in case of emergency? So far I've got a floor jack, breaker bar / torque wrench, fuel filter, tow strapandsome additive. That's just what I have sitting in my garage. Gonna pick up a CB and a GPS unit also.

The wife and Iare driving from MN to Fayetteville NC for a few days to watch a couple of my brothers games and then on the way home, taking a detour to Nashville for a few days. Gonna tow my parents Jetta TDI down for my brother. Should be a fun trip.

 

i always have my GPS, tow straps, jumper cables, fuel filter, flash light, and a few loose tools in my tool box. i like to have things that way i know i am covered and if and when someone is in need of help i can be the man to provide it

funny you should ask though because i just took this picture on my recent trip to florida for new years and its my only 2 things i need to drive on a road trip...... me and these 2 guys have done some big drives in the past

 

Basic tools, jack, GPS, spare filter, and S&W 9mm

 

my tool of choice is a 24oz. claw hammer

 

Few quarts or a gallon of engine oil. Get one of those coolers from wal mart that plugs in the cig lightersoyoucan always have some cold drinks handy. I carry sandwich stuff in em too.

 

How about a good cup holder? Wouldn't want to spill your drink.

How about a fuel filter just in case you get a bad load or put bio-diesel in it and clog the fuel filter

 

Speaking of "Bad Loads" ~

Get about a half gallon Tupperware container and throw in a roll of TP, toothpicks, nail clippers, Bic lighter, a couple of 2-packs of headache remedies, condoms . . . . . . . .

Throw it in the trunk for the true emergencies.


Broke down in the middle of nowhere is one thing . . . . . . . broke down in the middle of nowhere with no TP is an entirely different ball game.

 

^^^^^^ Good point

 

You in the wrong forums, we ain't got no trunks around here
