General things you keep in your 4WD.

[GQPorkroll]

I'm slowly building up stuff for my truck to go on a trip I guess, not sure where/when. I just thought I'd throw a list of what I have and what I'd like, and maybe you can help with what I should have.

First off, I have a bullbar, sump protector, rock sliders, plate steel rear bar with towing points and a towbar. I have a 9500 mean mother winch, a winch block, and a dozen d shackles of varying sizes, plus a quality nylon piece with a caribeena on one end and clip on the other I keep on my bar for quick attaching for a strap. I also have a quality snatchem strap and a nylon tow rope, I also have a roof basket with an awning. Of course hand, ear, eye protection.

I carry a long handle shovel and high lift jack on my roof mount, and a spare tyre and another high lift jack on the spare wheel mount with the attachment for bullbars fitted to it. I have a dual battery set up too.

Inside I have a stereo with GPS, DVD, etc etc, 2 CB's, a handsfree car kit, and a sprung drivers seat. Out back I have a cargo barrier, drawers, an ironman fridge, general tools (pliers, screwdrivers, shifters, hammer, pry bar, socket set) and a few other odds and sods, and my bottom drawer carries camping stuff like gumboots, coat, kitchen stuff, soap, torch and a big heavy duty mean mother compressor.

For safety I run 3 cameras on the car, 1 records front, 1 records rear and the other is a HD camera I use when I go off road. They're for my own protection and the rear one offers a small amount of vision when reversing as most of my rear window is covered with a 35" tyre.

I'm planning on fitting a water tank on the roof, making a ladder for easier access, fitting 2 Jerry can racks to the roof basket, I have a front locker and air compressor to fit up and I'm also looking at fitting a small tank so I have some compressed air to blow off my shoes or to clean the truck inside. I'd like an inverter, and also a small 12v food warmer, plus a camping stove and some good cast cook wear. I'm also thinking of making a fold down table that bolts to my rear door, but as my drawers are a tight fit, I may have to opt for another system.

Anything I'm missing?

Firstly, congrats on 100 posts - that changes your status to expert! lol

To be honest, I'm not a real fan of jerry cans. What size tanks are you running?

What do you use your troll mainly for? There's plenty of build ups for a fold down table, but can't remember who has them.

Take care out there.

I WOULD NOT repeat WOULD NOT put a water tank on the roof, Lifts your centre of gravity too much
Plenty of options for water carrying. Dont use nylon rope unless you know it has a rating or an extensive first aid kit, Also dont use PVC for water, its made with lead

Congrats on 100

Are your D Shackles rated or just the everyday run of the mill shackles?

[threedogs]

They say the DICK SMITH pie warmer is ok the other is over priced, or those rectangle food warmers work well.
When choosing gear to pack into your 4x4 try to think of packing things that have more than ONE use, I'll give you
one example then you'll know what I mean . November copy of Playboy ie as well as light reading it'll also come in handy if you need to join 2 snatch'em straps.
also paper to light fire if wood is wet. plastic containers can double up as wash basins and so on, but you need to travel
as light as you can.
