In the trunk: Wheel tubs, a fuel cell, 2 roll bar struts with a horizontal tie bar, and a california duster, lol.....not room for much else.....

In the trailer and on the truck, I carry all of what everyone has posted and then some, including spare wheel bearings, grease and seals for the trailer, 2 40 ton bottle jacks, floor jack and a full size spare for the trailer, big generator and air compressor with air tools. I go prepared as it sounds like most of us do.

Good thread and great suggestions !! Too many times people hit the road unprepared. You can never have enough tools or supplies.

AAA is a good and cheap option- my sons show truck had an ignition issue and they towed him home- 200 miles for $150.00 plus the $100 tip we gave the roll back driver. It was 2am in the morn, it was well worth having. It would have prob cost $5-$600.00 if he didnt have it.

Harbor freight has some decent tool kits. Wouldnt wrench with them everyday, but for under $50.00 you can get a decent kit.

I have to agree that there have been some great suggestions. AAA was mentioned as something that a few of you have been impressed with. I have a question, has anyone had to use Grundy, Haggerty or any of the other classic car auto insurance companies, to tow your car home ? If so, how did it work out for you ?

I used Haggarty a couple of years ago for a roll-back. At the time, I had one of them new-fangled electronic ignitions that take the place of points in the 427 in the Nomad. Mallory Unilite conversion. It broke. I called Haggerty, they sent a truck within 30 mins. The car would start and run for a few mins, then die. I had him follow me. We got to within 3 miles of home when it died for good. He put it on the roll-back and drug it home. No charge, but I gave him a pretty good tip. And no more electronic junk in anything I own. Points for life!

Umm. Nothing really. My daily driver is now a Tahoe. My Camaro does have flares and used to have a pillow style medical kit (don't know where it got off to) but only really had those because they were required in Germany, where I bought that car.

Mostly I just have a Cell Phone and a AAA account, but not in the trunk (back). For road trips, a decent jack, and a cheap tool kit might go along.

Medical kit is not a bad idea. I have a Band Aid brand kit that has different size band aids and individual alcohol pkts and antibiotics. I know, a manly man only needs superglue to close those cuts, but when you travel with kids, band aids are not a bad idea.
