Axle nut wacking tool or torque dude tool, hex SOCKETS for the trailing arm and cv joint bolts, extra cv joint or better yet a spare axle assy.,brake fluid, first aid kit, small shovel, folding saw that will accept hacksaw and bow saw blades, axle spacer, coil, cotter pins. And find others to ride with, cause nothing will ruin your day faster than being broken down miles from who knows where. DON'T, forget the compass. Ride safley, and thank you for your service to your country. Now, have fun. :idea: :idea: :idea: :mrgreen:

If one were to look at the man laws for buggy riding, rule #5 eliminates the need for most of this. But since a bunch seem to ignore rule #5 I carried, and all this fit into a small canvas military ditty bag....
sae combination wrenches 1/4" to 3/4"
Metric combination wrenches from 9mm to 20mm
deep and shallow sockets in trays for both metric and sae
ratchet and different length extensions
two different size vice-grips
two different pipe wrenches
drift punch and chisel
2 lb sledge hammer
Sae and metric allen heads for cv bolts etc.
spare 930 cv and grease
two different regular/phillips screw drivers
black tape
Large channel lock
several small ratchet straps
extra nuts and bolts
crimp-on electrical connections
candy for Brad and a tube of instant glucose, just in case :wink:
Some first aid stuff

If you ride with the same people all the time, if each of you were to carry something different between you and your group, you would have almost everything you would need to fix or at least limp back to the trailer

A few basic tools and some extra random parts..
Extra Pivot Bolt with wrench
CV Joint and extra CV bolts
Extra Lug Nuts
Cable Ties
Duct Tape
Oil & Brake Fluid (I do not but I think it is a good idea)
Strap and a tie down


MOST IMPORTANTLY .. FOOD... FOOD... FOOD.. It sucks when you go on a 2 hour ride and you get stuck for 8 hours with no food.. Water also helps..
