    What does Blknight.aus keep in the back of his truck?

    I know this has been tantilising everyone on the forum for quite some time.

    He comes out with some hints in posts like this:

    I carry 2 inverters and one of those cheapy 800w 2 strokes from bunnings, super crap, aldi, kmart and a few other less reputable places...

    The genset stays in the trailer with the chainsaw stuff and only comes out if im running the flood lights,grinder or drill for some reason or need the 30amp battery toaster other than that the little inverter charges laptops and mobiles from the car and the other one runs from a battery on a solar panel in the trailer.
    PErsonally my usual recovery kit consists of. (if playing seriously)

    2 shovels
    2 axes
    1 mattock and pick
    2 drag chians (8t drag 4t lift)
    2 tirfors (2t and 5t)
    1 75 ft tow rope with hooks (used only for towing once recovered)
    1 snatch block (8t)
    one snatch strap
    2 strops (8t and 20t)
    10 shackles of assorted sizes from 3.5t to 12t
    2x high lift jacks
    lots of base plate sized wood blocks
    air compressor
    exhaust bag jack
    gloves
    calculator
    first aid kit
    gum boots
    spare socks

    (about 1/2 of this is always on board regardless)

    my extended klt also includes over 300m of tirfor compatable winch lines, chainsaws, track links from a bren gun, ground stakes,

    I still dont have a power winch, and to be honest Havent missed it...
    My GO box contains (the one thats almost always in big red)

    a complete 3/8th inch drive socket set from 8mm-19mm and imperial equivelents

    a set of ring open end spanners from 8-24mm (and imperial to match)

    A complete set of screwdrivers 13 pieces all up

    4 sets of pliers (needle nose, sidecutters, 2 sizes of bull nose combos)

    2 pairs of multigrips with soft rubber jaws so they can be used as brake hose clamps if needed

    a small engineers ball pein hammer

    trouble light.



    3 shifters 4 inch, 8 inch and 12 inch.

    an assortment of loctites, gasket goops, cake of soap, chalk, paint pen, hand cleaner.

    some wire, fuses, bulbs, random washers, self tapping screws (most of this has made its way to the bottom of the box from non vehicle related stuff and stayed there)
    But inquiring minds want to see the full list.







    With pics.




    And maybe some video to convince us that it actually goes with so much gear on board.

    Cheers
    Simon

    geez Simon, that's not much, you've seen those Leyland Brothers docos

    Apart from hundreds of jerrycans and spares, they even took a thing that looked like a moon buggy somewhere! (Their crossing of the Simpson?)

    I might draw the line at a 42" HD flatscreen tho'...

    BTW: I've carried a 35mm arri kit in the X1/9, seven transit cases, legs, head etc, and almost enough room for me...

    dont forget the big green trailer, half the gear goes in that.....

    Not all the gear goes all the time, some of it is like "mission packs" I dont take it unless theres a specific need to IE I know that Im going as the recovery dude or as the camp cook.

    Yep a loadout set of pics has been done but it was done after the move and after the laptop stopped talking to the camera...

    Dobbbos seen it in trim with the sleeping setup in the back

    since big red is due for a clean out and service perhaps a newer set of pics is in order.....
