What basics to have?

[NISMOnator]

Hi Almal,

I am very much a novice when is comes to 4x4ing and overlanding. Starting this thread I am thinking this might help all the other rookies out there starting out on theyre first overlanding etc to have the basics in a toolbox or bag?

So you proffesionals! What basics should you have in your bag/toolbox when overlanding in a Patrol:

Thank you

A petrol card.



Jack, wheelspanner, tire repair kit, some fuses and bulbs, some self-fusing tape, Pratley Steel, bailing wire, a few screwdrivers and sets of sockets, spanners and allen keys minimum. Good to have some gloves (should be in your recovery kit anyway) and a few plasters and hand cleaner as well.

A good multimeter could be worth it's weight in gold too.

Thank you for all the advice! Keep them coming!

Considering that all of you are such comedians don't you guys want to sponsor a petrol card?
