    Trip Tool and Part Checklist

    Hey guys,

    I'm just trying to get an idea of tools and parts that I should be carrying.

    I generally don't go more than 300-400 kms from Melbourne. But i also don't want to be taking the whole workshop with me.

    Keen to get everyone's thoughts......

    Cheers!

    Hey mate - short distance from rescue - UHF, mobile, water, basic toolkit, etc. are you heading off-road or touring? What sort of tracks? It's horses for courses so if we understand more you're setup and plans can give some better advice.

    I'm looking for a general overview.

    I would only be doing weekend trips locally in Victoria.

    Like I know to carry the basics like:
    Socket Set
    Screw Driver Set
    Spanners
    Coolant
    Water
    Oils
    Snatch Strap and D Shackles

    But just wanted to get a few ideas of the things that people
    always carry to equip the best way I can!

    Tyre repair kit, basic spanners to suit, small tool box, thats all I take if going to the Murray.
    enough for small repairs, anything bigger will require a tilt tray anyway
