Since we are a week away I thought I'd throw out some reminders....
Prep your rig...
Check fluids, belts, hoses and tires. Make sure the spare is ready just in case.
If your rig is in need or some maintainance, get'r done before you carry it to the trail. Trail rides will definately remind you that you should have fixed something. If you are as familiar with Murphy as I am you know-the hard way.
You may want to consider carrying some tools or extra parts. Once again you all know your rigs and wheeling styles so prep accordingly.
I've been wheeling for 25 years and learned some lessons the hard way and try to plan accordingly. Some stuff I carry on the trail...
Extra U-joints and u-bolts
Tools that if I have to disasemble a truck I can
Jumper cables
Two first aid kits
two fire extinquishers
3 flashlights
hi'lift jack and lug wrench
2 tow straps
ratchet straps
leather gloves
tarp(laying in the mud fixing a truck sucks)
v-belts
fuel line and clamps
tree strap
wd-40
fluids
More tools in the tow rig with driveshafts, axle shafts, air compressor and other goodies.
Remember that someone may have to depend upon you, so cover your bases the best you can. If we all do this and incident does happen we can deal with it, without it turning into a biblical crisis.
