what spares do you carry? was created by jewi
I know everyone is different but what spare parts and tools do you carry when out green laning?
I guess the obvious will be:
jack
wheel brace
tow rope
jump leads
plug in compressor
tyre gauge
combination spanners 10,11,12,13,14,17mm
socket set, ratchet and power bar
allen keys
spare spark plugs
headlight and indicator bulbs
gaffer tape
cable ties
What else do people carry?

Replied by kirkynut on topic what spares do you carry?
Crickey, where to start!
Bottle Jack
Breaker bar with heel nut socket attached
Tarpaulin for putting down to stop me getting dirty if I have to work on it out and about
Halfords 200 piece socket set
Small tool box with all other tools - screw drivers, pliers etc
Spare bulb kit
Small tyre air compressor & gauge
Spare suspension bolts for all shocks and arms etc
Spare bulb kit - Halfords do a helpful ready made kit in a good box made for it (not cheap but perfect)
Spare batteries for winch remote and Head Torch
Head Torch and normal cree led torch
Clutch cable
Auxiliary Belts
Code Reader (Scangauge 2)
Oil (engine) transmission also if I go far
Brake Fluid
One Man Brake Bleeding Kit
Brake Hoses
Cable Ties
Front wheel bearing tool
Hylomar Blue sealant
Wheel and Kingpin Bearings if I go away, front wheel bearings pressed into spare hubs already
A lightweight Trolley Jack if I go away
WD40
Fuses (including the biggies under the bonnet)
Electrical Tape
Self Amalgamating Tape (a good temporary repair for split / burst coolant hoses)
Collapsible Spade
Small tree branch cutting tool
Shackles
Tow strops
Tree Strops
Ground Anchor
Waffle Boards
Various other spare bolts and screws
Ratchet Straps
Water
RAC's contact details
Tea and coffee making facilities (Coleman Petrol Stove and UHT milk cartons)
So when we go greenlaning, you can see we can get out of most situations and if away a local garage could be used to get us back up and running in a day or so for rear wheel bearings as I think an angle grinder and press might be a bit excessive!
My Jimny is built for proper off road use as it used to be used on hardcore off road sites but as I got bored of changing brakes, bearings, cleaning and re-painting it more than using it, it has developed into a micro off-road tourer / slightly expedition vehicle that is just a little OTT for those purposes!
If money were no object it would have a rear winch too and air lockers front and rear.
