I have a full craftsman tool kit plus a few extra tools (Torque wrench pliers and stuff)
superflow air compressor
Extra fluids
A Big First aid kit (including quick clot, and suture stuff)
shovel
recovery in a pack
If I am going really far out into the Eastern Oregon outback I will pack my small Harbor freight welder and generator. Just last year I was about 40 miles from the nearest paved road and ran across a guy and his two kids in a Subaru Outback pulling a small boat he broke the weld on his hitch and was dragging the other part. I did not have a hitch on my patriot but I was packing the welder so within 30 minutes he was back on the road. He called me when he got home (I gave him my number to make sure they made it) they made it fine and my ugly ungodly looking welds held lol. I hope he learned a lesson to keep tools with you when in the middle of n were.
ohh and we pack at least five gallons of water in the desert.

that's a nice list of stuff you have. I try to pack based on where I'm going and gauge what may break.
I usually pack fluids in a separate container so if any spring a leak it's all contained. bailing wire and duck tape...amazing how strong that stuff gets when used together to make repairs. I'm trying to sort my tools down to just what fits the Jeep.

Great idea on just what fits the Jeep!!!

Aspen kid, I have to say, that's very impressive and love how you organized with baggage/small suitcases.
I like how you did with your homemade wood floor as shelf in cargo. Im definitely add to my wishlist!

Do you carry one that is ported for hydraulic assist?

Would it be possible to carry a ported one with plugs for the ports? Are they threaded? :idontknow:

Is it a Mopar or aftermarket? Pricey SOBs.

Ever price a trail recovery? :idontknow:

That's what I was thinking. Buy the new "better" box from PSC and then paying for the stock box to get ported. I was thinking you could get some plugs so it would work for a factory replacement in a pinch.
It is secured on the front in two places. In the back by two more. I have some pictures I'll pot when I get home

Great idea. We had to do a band aid fix on a guys hose after it ruptured and started leaking. We had to get all MacGyver on it to get him off the trail. Extra hoses would have been nice. :thumb:
