wheeling a unibody chitbox is overrated.....when i used to go wheeling here in MN w/ some frineds who are tards when it comes to wheeling, i'd end up bringing everything, spare fluids, parts, tools, recovery stuff. everytime they'd break something...guess who got to fix it....i got sick of that chit.

[Taggart]

I didn't see TP on the list. :aaa:
Goes without saying... there's always a roll in a freezer bag in my cargo area. :yup:

[JohnBoulderCO]

TP? I'm usually not that scared when I wheel.

Good to have for the lady passenger.

just wondering...when you bring all that stuff all the time, where the hell do you put your camping gear ?!?!
:puzzled:

[FastSUV]

LOL, all that stuff is in a plastic container in the back about 2' x 3'...I have plenty of room...the rest is in the cargo pocket on the right rear side or in the center console...

[MJBert]

I- 100ct Potassium-iodide tablets (in case of radiation danger)

where the heck are you wheeling at, ex nuclear missle storage grounds?

[FastSUV]

Naaah...after sept. 11th attacks, some guys from work ordered them from e-bay in case we ever get hit by a dirty bomb...I threw them in the kit in case society ever breaks down and I have to head to the hills in the Jeep.

:puzzled:
All of mine fits in a toolbox, a crate a little larger than a milk crate, a small tool bag for the recovery stuff, and in various nooks and crannies inside the vehicle, except the extra spare tire and Hi-Lift which go on the rack. A lot of small stuff like duck tape and rope fits under the seats or in the spare tie well. I was going to strap the spare tire rod to my rack, but I found it fits perfectly in the little pocket of carpet in the narrow gap behind the rear seats.

[RyanWJ]

-bottle of STP PS fluid

Highlifts are a deathwish in disguise.

Highlifts are a deathwish in disguise.
:agree:

[PhatAssWJ]

When mine gave out on a flat surface last week, WHILE sitting on top of the "off-road base", collapsing into the DS rear door on one of my XJs, thereby damaging it even more, I was even more convinced this was the case.

Gotta love when you decide to back them off. Wasn't it someone on JU who lost some teeth from a Highlift?

PS - DHMeieio, are you doing the run @ the Badlands May 20th? Saw your pic on jeepforum.com, thought you might be a part of the group.
