What stuff do you carry in your boot?
My list –
Jack
5ltr Fuel
5ltr water
Oil
Powersteering fluid
Brake fluid
Spare tyre
Tools (screwdrivers, socket set,spanners,vise grips, hose clamps,etc)
Rags
Different length fuel hoses
Who carries radiator hoses, fan belts, wheel chocks, etc ?
Is there anything else crucial that I should be carrying in my boot ?
Cheers,

I carry a mobile phone and AA card.
Obviously the regular crap that comes in the boot from the factory + high vis jacket, tow rope and jumper leads and some spare fuses in the glove compartment. A paper clip is also handy to check fault codes.
A pinhole leak in a hose can be temporarily fixed with some electrical tape and a hose clamp. If I’m going long distance than some basic tools.

I don’t carry anything extra aside from a few fuses. I have RACV total care, anything more and I call.

Posts: 118Spare tyre, wheel brace and jack.
RAC card is in the wallet.
October 25, 2016 at 6:43 pm #20327I’m surprised that not much more then your RAA/RACV card and mobile phone is on the only thing carried, hmm…
I would rather be safe then sorry and carry more then needed then not needed.
Cheers,
October 25, 2016 at 11:10 pm #20333Not much haha
Basic phillips & flat blade screwdriver,shifter,rag maybe few small tools that fit in centre console & mobile phone + towtruck business card in case bastard breaks down…
No spare wheels etc as 15×10 3″ backspace & tubs means most wheels dont fit.

Posts: 5 777Yea I modded (cut down) my spare wheel well so that I had more room for the varex muffler. So I have a space saver off a later Commie. I keep the tool roll inside the wheel centre so its all nice and neat.
