Tool Kit

[Djakefry]

OK I like to ask all you more experienced rover owners

your Ideas for a reasonable weekend trip took kit,

Could I have your suggestion(s) for what you've found that will cover you for the week-end patch up kit- not only tools but any key parts?

it is for a 300 tdi 90 RRC thanks

That is a nearly impossible question to answer...as you can never predict what will break. The list below is about what is in my truck all of the time. I take more stuff when going on a trip.

- Standard set of hand tools, socket set, wrenchss, pliers, screw drivers, hammer, pry bar.
- Special tools.. Hub socket, snap ring pliers
- Duct tape, bailing wire...
- Basic electrical tools, connectors, fuses, stripper/crimper.
- Tire plugs plugging tool.
- Bucket to catch fluids
- Rags
- Gear oil, brake fluid, PS fluid.
- CV joint, halfshafts (if you are still stock)
- U-joint.
- Set of hub bearings and hub seal.
- Engine belts.

I carry the above (minus halfshafts - I have a 24 spline Salsbury axle)

I also carry a set rad hoses...just in case.
...and of course JB WELD and some real aluminum Duct Tape...love the stuff.

Some great info above, the only things I would add, large plastic tyraps, metal baling wire and a can of spare fuel.

The advantage of going in a group of course is you also have half a dozen trucks with all their spare gear if needed.

Cheers, Andy

Oh, yeh also add a toilet roll to your list :bounce:

Definitely Toilet Paper! :bounce:

Also, some nitric gloves, a bit of hand cleaner (doubles as a parts cleaner), a fire extinguisher, drinking water (that can double as coolant), leatherman, a good quality small flashlight, bandaids, self-adhesive tape wrap (for temp repairs to hoses).

Cheers, Rob

If they are stock shafts, it can't hurt to carry spares. I've seen them break on stock trucks. And then there are the front axle shafts.
