This one has been asked & some pretty impressive lists were a result. Here's the link

 

I forgot about that thread. There was some pretty good stuff in them list's. I carry a shovel with me now behind my speaker box after getting stuck on my way to work in my nice clean uniform.. ya that one was fun to explain..haha

 

tp(you just never know when you might need it when you are way out in the boonies)
2 tow straps
2 D ring shackles
Cell phone
extra blanket
Mag Light
buddy
first aid kit

 

I take only the most important things, as too much recovery gear makes me a little too brave...

2 tow straps for when 1 can't reach.
A full sized shovel to drain the swamp my neighbor gets stuck in with his stock TJ.
And most important of all, my wife an 16month old boy!

 

4x4Trails.net has a good 4x4 Excursion Checklist.

 

A bunch of fancy 3rd Gen 4Runners.

J/K. Drain pan, Purified water (for radiator or drinking) Motor oil, Gear oil, High carb food like Snickers, Extra fuel, All my tools, Two jacks, two jackstands, thick boards to jack from on non-stable ground/snow, Warm cloths, Map(s), Shovel, Metal coat hangers, winch acc. kit, Cig lighter to torch it all if it really gets bad, and some other junk.

 

I'm surprised no one said camera yet, so that when you get stuck, everyone can get a good laugh at ya

 

cumalongs kick ass

 

What type do you guys use? I saw one at Harbor Freight and I wasnt' sure if it was worth a damn. It had a max length of only 10ft though, I guess If I could get another truck that close it might work. What weight range should it be able to handle?

 

Take a look at the More Power Puller. I have one and it's ready for anything.

Be careful with those cheapo come-along things. I have one and I'd be scared to death using that thing anywhere near the claimed rating. With any kind of load it creaks and groans like its going to come apart at any minute. Take a close look at how well its made. On mine you have to make sure the ratchet mechanism engages with the gear on the cable reel every time for fear of it suddenly disengaging when you're moving the handle to get ready for the next pull. With these, I think you get what you pay for, and if you don't pay much you don't get much.

icechest and the beer incase you get stuck you have something to drink when your stranded it always is a easy way to winde down

I wheel with some people who could build there truck again 3 times over so you cant ever bring to much!
It really helps if you can tow it there but I know thats not possible for everyone but its the safest and best way to go IMO

The playmates are a must though

 

I wheel a bobbed 82' PU with a carbed 22R so I try to keep the weight down.
Along with all the items mentioned above, I keep a collection of nuts & bolts and other MacGyvering items to rig the rig back together if need be.
I bring a water purifier so I don't have to bring an excessive amount of water. Also I always have my Jet Boil packed along with coffee and MRE's.
In the winter I keep a propane heater packed.

 

Same here...plus I need room for all the beer!!
I usually bring .... comealong...and yes its the cheapo version, and yes...last time I was stuck it failed.
Maps and gps are a must( ok so gps is not 100% essential, but maps are)
T.p. When ya gotta go, ya gotta go
50' of heavy chain
Cell phone, and 2way radio (cell phone has a camera)
Food, and water
motor oil, gear oil, atf
leatherman
and I always keep a survival kit in all my vehicles, bandaids, neosporen, gauze, space blanket, waterproof matches, magnesium striker, and a hatchet.
Thats it for me, I figure if I have too many tools, I will get cocky, and spend more time fixing my rig on the trail than exploring.

O...almost forgot...I always wear comfy waterproof boots, ya never know how far you may have to hike out.

 

A comalong is important but your high lift can also be used to pull. A couple of shakles and a good tow rope (NO STRETCH IF POSSIBLE) and you ccan get 30-40 inches of STRONG PULL, that thing (a good high lift) can pull 5 ton no prob.
I also like to carry a small soldering style butane lighter, fits in my hand and good to 1800 degrees, some solder and flux (just a little) because elec. tape can't fix everything.

 

hell ye thats what im talkin about wheelin girls and beer where do i sign up

 

Not a bad idea to have some benedryl when in the woods, especially on those camping/wheelin trips. You never know what may bite, sting you.

 

What does everyone use to hold their stuff? I use rubermade tubs often, but would like to pick up some ammo cans to store things I always want with me.
