    In the cabin I carry another tree trunk protector and leather gloves on top of the battery box.
    Lose in the cabin is a easy to reach shifter and screw driver, spare reading glasses, map holder with maps, basic first aid kit and LED torch.
    Spare fuses are carried in the fuse box.
    If I really think things are going to get tuff I carry a A frame.
    the A frame is carried up side down in the rear pintle hook vertically and the top of it tied off or the A frame carried in the front pintle hook and tied to the bull bar.


    Also in the cabin is two D shackels live screwed on to the helicopter lifting points on the cabin floor.

    What is soon to be added to the 101 landrovers tool list is a basic code reader , not for the 101 landrover, but other vehicles as it getting near imposible these days to do anything to modern vehicles without them.
    All so carried on the vehicle is
    20 litres water jerrycan ,a axe is fitted to the gun holder racks on the dash board.
    On the front of the vehicle is carried, short handled shovel, pick head and a handle and a crank handle.
    A fire extingester is carried in the cabin and another can be carried on the front of the vehicle.
    Very importantly a 60 litre fridge is carried at all times in the rear cargo area of the vehicle.
    The vehicle has a engine driven air compressor and a 6 mtr hose and air guage live in with the spare wheel behind the driver as does a intervehicle starting cable( jumper leads).
    As I now run tubeless tyres, I carry a tubeless tyre repair kit behind the passengers seat.

    Socket set with a good assortment of both metric and imperial sizes in 1/4 and 3/8 drive, the set has both standard sockets and deep ones.
    A bag containing an assortment of slotted and Phillips screwdrivers, Torx and Allen drivers.
    A bag with an assortment of open and box end wrenches in common LR sizes.
    A bag with various adjustable spanner wrenches, wire cutter and stripper and some vice grips.
    Electrical and duct tape, a ball peen hammer and a couple of punches. Some electrical crimp on connectors, a few coils of light gauge wire. A small voltage multimeter.
    A flashlight, leather gloves and some disposable latex ones.
    A set of jumper cables

    Can't think of anything else!

    You never know what you will need when out on the road. I once repaired a broken throttle cable on an Isuzu Trooper with a bent nail and some duct tape well enough to make it home.
    I'd hate to see you undoing a wheel nut or other similar sized nut on your LR with a 3/8" drive socket set, I wouldn't go anywhere without a good quality 1/2" drive socket set and breaker bars, I wouldn't use a wheel brace to undo/tighten up wheel nuts (27mm) if you paid me to, Regards Frank.

    One thing I do not carry is a jack base plate or wooden block.
    I have learnt a cast iron fry pan or even a dutch oven will do the job very well.
    The pic below shows a lid from a dutch oven being used in sand on my 101 landy.

    The pic below is a 12 volt impact gun being used, made the tyre change quick work
    Both pics taken at the same place.


    PS ....yes I did hit my head on that door and yes that is what happens when you drop bar treads down to 6 psi and do circle work in the sand.

    I was once told the best way to do a car kit is use it for all your repairs.
    This way if something is missing it can be added and you know it can do all the jobs required when out and about.
    Except for a torque wrench this is basicly what I've done.

    I have a full kit similar to yours.
    Things I've added to the tool kit being for a Disco2 TD5...
    A kit containing torx and allen head sockets. (door locks/catchs, ECU cover).
    Allen key for fan pully to access the bearing(yes I've used it on trips)
    12"shifter that fits the fan so it can be removed.
    Various nuts, bolts, screws and washers(including any replaced when working on the rig).
    Sockets for the idler/adjuster belt pullies(my 1/2 drives don't fit).
    Home made harmonic locking bracket, also drilled to fit the Fan pulley.
    CRC and Electric Contact sprays.
    Jumper leads.
    Icecream containers for bolts ect when working on it.
    Rags are then stuffed into take up all the gaps so it doesn't rattle at all.

    Spares....
    A bit of push bike tube for cutting up as needed.
    Cable ties, long is good as they can be cut short, hard to lengthen them.
    Spare serpentine belt, adjuster assey and idler pulley.
    Starter contact/plunger kit (they are good ones replaced when the starter was out for the auto rebuild).
    Self amalging tape for coolant hose repairs.
    Super glue, araldite, salastic and electrical tape.
    Long length of twin electrical wire for bypassing/direct wiring as needed.
    A piece of exhaust pipe off cut to slip over a spanner for extra leverage.
    The nanocom and a multi meter stay in the toy too.


    I haven't added the recovery gear and other kit as that's been asked on other threads.
    Cheers, Kyle

    HI

    Pretty much what similar to what others carry with the addition of a 1/4" and 1/2" torque wrench, IMHO if you work on the Rover V8 without them you are asking for trouble.

    Also a set of pozidriv screwdrivers, since the P38 uses them rather than Phillips heads.

    I carry my tools in tool rolls, which don't let them rattle around and pack a large amount of tools into the smallest possible space.

    DUHHH! My brain must be slipping. Yes I do have a 1/2 ratcheting socket wrench as well and a small assortment of larger sockets.
