Off Road Kit

[Foxtrot Oscar]

I noticed this recently in the grading structure and was looking for some clarification.

GPS- I assume the app on the phone is sufficient?

Floor jack and jack board,- Is the floor jack a trolley jack or is a bottle jack sufficient? I know trolley jacks are preferred but it's not specified 

tool box - a  box of tools....which tools exactly? Ratchets? Spanners ? Hammer? Screwdrivers? Socket set? Jump Leads?  What? I have a tool box under my sink which I doubt is what is required so, what should an offroader have in their toolbox?

tie-down straps - do you mean ratchet straps?

fluids.- brake fluid? Coolant? Oil? Transmission Fluid? Power Steering Fluid? Which fluids?

Many thanks in advance

Hey @Frederic , if I get all that kit I’ll be better set up than the local mechanic 😅

 

Do you offer a car maintenance course too ? 😜

Oh yes, I’m a specialist in replacing the air freshener tree.

I have been working on my @Carnityrecomnded off-road tool kit for sometime now. I am stuck at Sockets what should I get? I never felt the need for a socket wrench or kit but it is in the list and I have to to get it, whether I need or not.

On my car only thing I ever broke were the rear bumpers and quick fixed it with some heavy duty zip-ties until I replaced it with the current Mopar steel bumper 4th on my car.

Can someone (@Frederic I am looking forward to hear from you) recommend a definitive set I can get and tick off the check list? preferably Yato branded as I am collecting it for this project and I have a  OCD so YATO. 

last two remaining and it’s a old list.

If you need to fix a Toyota or Mitsubishi, no need for any tools. 
 

If you need to fix a Jeep, you’ll be needing the 142 assortiment piece of Yato kit so you can fix exhausts (not talking about any crew member here @Srikumar) 

Kidding aside, a mini socket set with sizes from 7mm to 13mm will do and doesn’t take up much space. The bigger socket sets with sizes up to 23 are nice but quite heavy and a regular adjustable spanner would do the same job.
