    something to keep dried mud, or even wet mud out of the eyes when working under.

    A cheap poly tarp to lie on.

    I'll vote for quality as well - keep your hands safe rather than have a tool slip off a fastener, wreck the fastener, and damage your hand. Plus if you need to reach for a length of pipe, or a mallet.....

    I'd also vote for a paper manual, or if you cart something around you can read it on - the electronic one from here.

    If you don't have the skills, or the tools, odds are someone who does, will come along sooner or later.

    Chuck growlers in the back, he's a tool!

    I take a small window scraper thing with me. Not exactly an emergency tool but it does help out a lot if you can see out your windows. Always heaps of mud here....

    8mm mainly mate - for the hub studs. Best to get a 8mm head on a half inch or 3/8's socket to go on the socket wrench/drive you might have - they'd be bloody hard to undo with a standard Allen key.

    When buying or selecting ANY tools for your Nissan Patrol note ==>> Everything is METRIC! Bin the rest. Metric sockets and Metric Spanners is all you will need on the car EVER.
