What's in your on board tool kit?

[Chrisinhouston]

Always interesting to hear what others carry. If I plan to go farther than normal from home I carry a good tool kit that I keep in the bins in back. I found some small heavy duty zip up bags to keep most things sorted by category. Here is my kit:

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.

Great selection Chris. Mine tool kit is almost identical, however I wouldn't go any where without a selection of cable ties. They don't take up much room but can help in a lot of situations.

I have sort of the same.

I was in Repco when they had a special in tool kits, it has full socket set, full set of screw drivers, electric cripers and connectors , Allen keys, pliers, set of spanners, adjustable spanner and a maglite copy touch along with a couple of other things . All in a plastic moulded case.

Was $39 down from $80.
I bought 3 and each one sits perminately in my 3 landys. Not the worlds best quality but will get you out of the crap. But at least keeps them compact and tidy and stops them rattling and making noise. Also saves having to move tools around from car to car or forgetting your tools.

Also carry jump leads and full set of fluids , oil, water , brake fluid , ep90, and power steering fluid.
Also a full off road recovery kit which has , shackles x3 , tree strop, Winch extension strap, snatch strop, chain, winch block, tow rope, and a shovel.

Same as above, but, add the recovery gear, a decent emergency air compressor and a couple of inner tubes just in case.
And a half carton of beer in the esky for when all else fails.

This is what I carry for my 101 landrover.

The above is for the right side tool locker compartment and contains
Log/fire wood drag chain, hydraulic jack and handle, special wheel nut socket and breaker bar,special circlip piers and transfercase input gear incase the overdrive gives out and I have to remove it on the side of the road, WD40 and a special oil cooler hose used on a 101 Landrover.

Chris (?),
That's a pretty comprehensive tool kit. I have the same basically, and although its probably considered too much (weight wise) as you said there's not much you cant deal with. I also carry a few spare bolts, fuses etc, and a couple of files.
Mine all live in a metal tool box, but will soon transfer to a tough bag, and at the same time, might lighten the spanners a bit
I once used chain and shackles to replace some broken spring hanger U bolts. It was good enough that I didn't get new bolts for over a month after we came home.

I have a side locker on the 101 landy and it carries the recovery gear and stuff for the winch.


I carry the following in this locker

Two snatch blocks, winch extension strap,tree trunk protector,four bow shackels, snatch strap, and 15/16 spanner so the winch fair head can be transferred front front to back.
