TOOLS, for the road.

[Royce]

oh thanks so much for all the good advice, not only on building my tool kit for the trip, but some good destinations and tracks to visit. cant thank you enough, its going to be my first ever touring style trip. there's only myself and the missus going so only one car. but with all the good advice i will be sure to have everything covered and hopefully no get caught out. cheers guys, if theres anyone else with some ideas on locations and tracks to visit while we are up that way, we dont really have a concrete destination list, just anywhere that looks good along the way we will stop and have a sticky beak around.

thanks again everyone. really appreciate it!

One of the most useful tools you can carry is an RACV Total Care membership (or your state's equivalent). It gets you out of trouble where ever you are and gives peace of mind knowing whatever happens, you will be recovered and if it can't be fixed they will tow it home and give you a hire car. It has got me out of trouble on occasion.

brake cleaner can be extremely useful if starting is is the problem. I always bring a small can, and a big spanner to open the turbo.

Seeing others may be watching this I'd suggest a jacking plate
about 300mm x 300mm square either 6mm checker plate or 50mm timber.
Comes in handy in soft sand as well as boggy conditions

@ Royce how did trip go,???

Thanks, Bill. Over here I'm pretty sure it's RAC Classic - there are more upgraded choices, too. I've got it because I live out in the sticks and it gives you more benefits than the normal RAC breakdown membership.

Here's the link for you to consider.
