What kind of gears and truck parts do you guys bring on the trail?

 

Unfortunately right now I don't bring any spares. I am on the hunt for a spare driveshaft and some cvs, maybe some tie rods. Other than I may bring wheel bearings, a serpentine belt, and some other electrical things for in case. Also zip ties and hose clamps. Going to start bringing fluids (for obvious reasons some of us know of). I always have the tools to get it done in the truck. Also I always have a full size spare in the truck. Obvious, but in case.

Then there's the recovery gear. Three 30ft straps, 6 or 7 shackles, snatch block, tree saver, hi-lift, recovery boards.

I'm probably forgetting something.

 

I'm so very, very disappointed...ughhh...

Heard a myth about a plastic cutting board.

 

Lol that's what I bring in the kitchen set. Everything's fair game in a jam.

 

Still waiting for the story lol the cutting board one and @Thyces one too!

 

That yellow filter guard is my cutting board.

I'll let @Thyces tell the rest after he recoups.

 

Was this the beginning of the tale?

 

Don't forget one of the most important things, a compressor. It would be brutal if you had to run stock tire pressure. I was running 15 PSI all weekend and it rode great.

 

Well, we started at 35+ psi and it was brutal to get to the camp... after we went to 20 the ride got smooth and nicer

 

Yeah except the passenger side headlight was under the water apparently.

You don't go in the "no go" hole.

@Jake4848 and @NorilskSever a compressor and airing down is unbelievably important not only for traction but comfort as well.

 

Always have one in the truck. Are you all running 10ply tires? I am on pRated tires... rode in a few rocky places with them no problems, nails and garbage in the trail do cause some tho!

 

I'm on 10 ply's but you should be fine if you have a decent tire. Just keep an eye out for sharp rocks and stuff, the trails were actually pretty clean garbage wise.

 

Your wallet... but it doesn't work out there.

 

Both one in the same.... Been really busy. Teaser..... It'll be a how to clean your engine like never before.

 

Made a short video from the videos I had, plus few pictures from Jake.

 

@NorilskSever here is the link to the flooring

Is it the vinyl flooring?

 

Yup. Great price.

 

$100 is nothing. Crazy.

 

Oh yes! Going to order this and forget about vacuuming my truck every freaking week.
