Hey guys im curious to hear what everyone is carrying with in the jeep as far as tools and extra parts go. Ive been trying to get some things together and i can see already that the weight is adding up. I know its better to have it and not need than to need and not have it but i dont want to over do it. Let me know what you guys bring with you and any ideas you have of good parts to bring just incase. Thanks!

Didn't you install your double throw down? All those wrenches and sockets.

Yeah i know wrenches,sockets,allen and hex sockets are kinda of a given as well as various fluids. What about parts? I only took my Jeep out 1 once because i finished it so late in the year so i dont have a ton of wheelin time to figure out what to bring in terms of parts.
 
I already planned on bringing some psc lines,wheel studs and lugnuts. What about break lines,tie rod ends,extra psc pump,u joints ect? Just want to find a common ground without being a mobile shop.
 
I've never had a thermostat go out. I always check my hoses before long trips, if i feel soft spots then I replace them - but that doesn't happen very often either.
aside from tools;
ujoints, antifreeze, oil, spill mats, latex gloves, tp, hydrosteer hose, fluid, clamps and steering box caps in case i need to remove or bypass the psc ram
