So I carry allot of gear in my 87 4Runner. Why? Cause I was a boyscout and I have been known to hit the trails at any given moment. I know allot of my stuff is redundent but I designed it that way. Im the type of guy that will stop to help others and if they really need somthing I won't hesitate to give them some gear. Don't get me wrong I'm not giving stuff away for the sake of it, but when I was a little kid my mom broke down with 4 kids outside of Lake Havasu and 50 cars must have passed before this nice old guy came along and happened to have a thermostat for a Jeep Cherokee and it saved the day for us. Ever since that day I decided I would never be helpless again and I would help others.
Alright what you really clicked for the pics
Smaller box of spare parts and some tools
All put away in their box
Some of the more used items
All packed up and easy to get to
Some of the loose stuff
I always keep a backpack with a change of clothes. And I can hike for help if needed.
All packed up and ready to go. It even has a camel back so I'm good to go.
I have a tow strap but sometimes you need a little more so....
All ready to go. The Jeep joke was because my brother has a jeep and I put a weiner dog in the box. But it still works.
50 Feet of cable from a crane because you are always 3 feet short when you need a tow strap.
2 sets of snow chains (all 4 tires) and some wire, tools, and tensioners
And these are "V" bar chains. The keep traction on solid ice, trust me I know.
And when all else fails and you have to stay put, why be hugry? Maybe you can tell I'm always hungry. I carry some gear in it too.
All packed up
Not pictured items include shovel, flashlights, maps, batteries, knives, ammo, water bottles and misc things.
So how much gear do you guys/gals carry? I hauled all this stuff up 3 flights of stairs today to do inventory and if I took it all out I bet I could double my mpg's. But whatever I don't drive an 87 4Runner for the mpg's.
Lets see your gear!!!!
