They do work great for fluids. I'm not sure what was in them. The stencil says inert projectile.
What's in your Jeep tool kit?

Peel and stick LED strip lights from autozone. Plugs in the 12v adapter with an integrated switch. You can add strips for $10 or so. About 2' long.

I'm assuming you're using the 12v adapter in the rear of the jeep? I don't have that option, I'd have to run it up front somewhere.

While mine is not nearly extensive the one thing I did learn on the rubicon was to pack so your tools are readily accessible in the event of a break. Mine were so buried under camping stuff that it would have taken me just as long to unpack and repack as it did to make the repair. Thanks again everyone. One spare part I will carry now is a rear drive shaft with yokes and bolts..haha
Edit: I noticed a tread depth gauge. Really? Want to make sure you are in DOT spec while on the trail?..haha

This is a impressive set up but I'm curious to what guys with 2 door JKs do. There's no way a 2 door guy can carry all this and keep the back seat for passengers. I basically carry the essentials like a recovery kit, tow straps, shovel, and some tools. That's about all that will fit. I hope some 2 door people chime in.

That's a great question!!
I've seen a lot of 2 door people carry the basic necessities like spare tire tools, a jack. Basic hand tools to disconnect the front sway bar along with sockets and wrenches that fit most suspension and drive line bolts.
Your best bet is strength in numbers. The more people that you wheel with the better chance someone will have what you need. Trail breaks and repairs are inevitable so it's always best to be as self sufficient as possible.

Well, Tony, this thread motivated me to go through all my stuff. And vacuum out the Jeep! After I laid everything out, the wife comes out and said 'All that fits in the Jeep?!?!'
Anyways, to add to the thread, some additional things I keep with me: Scan tool, cotter pins, variety of hose clamps, AAA and AA batteries for lights etc, Spare heater hoses and vacuum line, spare electrical wire, bulbs, small welding kit/rods, small spare pieces of steel, drill bits, specialty brake tools and line locks, WD40, fan clutch tool, belt tensioner tool, heater core bypass kit, pickel fork, waders/auqa shoes if I had to work in the mud. I think that's it for now. As mentioned before, I keep emergency clothes/food as well. I also have a large tarp for a quick shelter if needed.
I need to kit a spill kit, a fluid kit, and I love the trail vice, I may have to get one of those too.

That's awesome. My wife said the same thing! And the tools are only about a quarter of what I carry.
I really like your list of additional items you carry. You're definitely prepared for just about any Jeep malfunction.
Alright, let's see the liquids- what and Qty's do you carry. Let's see the extra bolts/nuts-etc too. And then the extra parts....
Loving this thread.

Wow you even carry a chainsaw!? Thats awesome. Yeah after using Eddies trail vice I definitely want one.
Yeah during my break I couldn't have asked for a better group of people with a larger variety of tools. It was awesome! BTW whats with the tread depth gauge?..haha
I found my spill kit by following the advice of overlander and went to O'reily's I think it was just under $30 anad comes with everything.

These ammo cans measure out at...
19" long
5 1/2" wide
10" high
Quart bottles fit perfectly.
The spill kit was given to me by a friend. It was basically put together by a guy who was trying get a business going selling them but, it never panned out.
Everything in it can be purchased online or at an auto parts store.
Absorbent mats
Gloves
Bags
Saw dust
Anything that soaks up hazardous waste.

After seeing a very large tree blocking a trail one time, I've carried a chainsaw ever since. Haven't had to use it yet though.
