What kind of items do you take with you when you go offroading?

 

I see you have a 4x2 so I would take a come-a-long, jack-all, tow strap, CB radio, cell phone, basic tool set, full size spare tire, gallon of water for rad, dry shoes and socks, snack, some drinking water, hat, first aid kit, Camera

 

true

a usefull tip i learned from this site...

if u get stuck, take a floormat and stick it under u're tire thas stuck....u'll gain traction back, if only for a bit, to get u out of u're rut....

 

extra fuses, one of those folding shovles... cant think of any more that havent been said

 

Lets see.... Tow Rope, (jack stand and all that stuff), a basic little tool kit, duct tape, electrical tape, matches, large towel, maglight, 3 smaller hand towels, scissors, exacto knife, little first aid kit, and a hat. All of that fits inside the two rear storage bins(since i dont have 4 doors/jump seats i have the storage bin things)

 

everyday, i have with me, tow strap[40foot] 4 - 3foot chains with hooks, a handful of D-shackles/or loops or whatever they are called, 75 piece Craftsman tool set, falshlight, duct tape, electric tape, fuses, a bundle of rags, glass cleaner, some oil, tranny fluid, 1 spare headlamp bulb, reflective triangle thingy, one of those mutlitool pocket things, electrical connectors, a spare set of floor mats, a large comforter/blanket[in a garage back], and zip tied and hidden undernieth my truck, you'll never find it if you look, a key fob, programmed to my truck[hey it's come in handy once].

I never wheel alone, and whoever else i go with usually has a hi-lift jack, or something along the line of that.
