    Rain Visors,
    ID say, go with what you need, in my 97 dodge diesel. I would carry a new fuel filter and the tools i would need to change it on the fly ( dielses can be iffy with their fuel)....Other then that, I'd say,

    • a leather man,
    • 2 MRE's
    • 2 liters of water,
    • duct tape,
    • 100Yards of 550 cord,
    • flashlight,
    • batteries,
    • a small socket set,
    • first aid kit, with anything you might need in it.
    • Some glowsticks
    • a hard copy of your most important numbers, in case your phone dies.

    Im sure ill think of some other essentials
