Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

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.

a 2nd Petrol card (or US currency)

and a (rented) sat phone.

Add a spare radiator cap and fan belts.

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?

Bottle of Bell's Special Reserve and Klipdrift Gold with distilled water
