General toolkit for fourby?
Hi guys just wanting some advice and input on putting together a good toolkit for my zook. here is what i plan on putting in it for now. minus recovery gear of course.
screwdrivers
shifter
small hammer
brake fluid
vice grips/pliers
spare spark plug
spare rotor button
engine oil (500ml)
coolant concentrate
water
rags
degreaser
i dont want to carry around too much but i reckon this should be a good start.. feel free to add to it

2" Susp lift, Ext shackles, RTC damper; Offsets, Custom interior panels, Stereo (+Sub), rubber Checkerplate floor, Custom Centre console, Under bonnet storage
Soon: Aircon + tinting?

Quick Metal (metal putty)
Exhaust Bandage.
A tube or two of something like SilverSeal, or other water-leak sealant,
Not in tool kit, but inside a rear panel 2x army rat-packs. i.e. enough food for a couple of days, bolstered with a good supply of vacuumn sealed beef-jerky (I make my own) which can compress a man-sized steak down to a handful of peices that will last indefinitely, and with a supply of water, will keep the whole family fed for a few days.

everyones going overboard with this...
if it moves and it shouldnt, duct-tape it.
if it doesnt move and it should, WD40/RP7/CRC.
if the duct-tape dont work, fencing wire.
if none of the above are your problem, BIG hammer.
if none of the above fix it, HF/SatPhone.
and maybe a few litres of water and some of Ezookiel's jerky for while you wait for help...
on a serious note, add all those plus more, and def go the jerky, piece of piss to make, tastes great, and lastes forever if its kept sealed!

The way I look at it, essentials break down into tools, recovery kit, spares and survival kit.
On tools, I have a kit which lives in the Paj, and it comes out whenever I do ANY work on it. If I need something which isn't in my kit, I consider adding it. I have open/ring spanners from 8mm to 27mm - just the sizes I've identified I need. Similarly, sockets from farkin' small (dinky little "electronics kit") up to 24mm (for something - can't remember what ATM.) Don't rely on shifters alone - sometimes you can't get them in where you need them.
Obviously, ensure you have tools to use the spares you carry - unless you plan to rely on somebody ELSE having the tools you need.
Another 2c,
Scott

haha chops toilet paper is for another thread that ill start haha. camping kit. recovery kit. first aid etc.
it could probably go in all of those eh?
i have a small socket set up to 15mm.. will probably put my larger one in there for offroad work.
fuses are def a good idea. i keep about 6 spares of varying amperage.. some for amps as well.
didnt even think of electrical things.. good idea Cossie.. see thats why i started this thread
i agree on coolant idea.. would just put a few bottles of water behind one of my rear interior panels.
Scott - 24mm for gearbox drain and refill plug? (is on mine anyways)

Are these simple to get a hold of, would be perfect for a few days fishing too. any ideas on the price or do i need a mate with connections.Ezookiel wrote:Not in tool kit, but inside a rear panel 2x army rat-packs.
i actually did some work a while ago in a factory which basically involved putting the rat sacs in the tin and taping the lid on, the putting em on a pallet.
thats my claim to fame.
Also not really toolbox size, but a decent shovel and a highlift jack. SHould see you out of most trouble when the winch and straps fail.
Cheers
Yep, you need connections, connections to the internet to go to ebay and grab yourself some from there.pongo wrote:Are these simple to get a hold of, would be perfect for a few days fishing too. any ideas on the price or do i need a mate with connections.Ezookiel wrote:Not in tool kit, but inside a rear panel 2x army rat-packs.
They have a variety of packs.
I intend to get myself some more via ebay now that I've recently been alerted to that source for them. The ones I currently have I had to source through friends, and won one of them via a 4wd-club christmas party.

It depends on what you are capable of fixing yourself really.. No good taking shitloads of stuff it you dunno how to use it.
Depends on what you're driving as well. Axle nut socket for CV's and a pair of universal circlip pliers are easy to forget but handy to have.
Test light also.
If you got a tojo or nissan take basics for minor repairs, cv's and the like.
If you got a suzuki take some wheel barrow handle and bolt them on when needed and wheel it home
If you got a Rover derivitive, leave it there and go and buy one of the above when the inevitable happens.

[quote="Uhhohh"]As far as an indecent proposal goes, I'd accept nothing less than $100,000 to tolerate buggery. Any less and it's just not worth the psychological trauma. [/quote]
Pretty much got everything covered in here...But I was suprised that only one person mentioned a small tarp.
Has to be better then working on dirt. Pick them cheap as chips at supershite.
A small triangle file for knocking off any edges on the axle spline (hub end) in case you cant get the hub off.
Oh...did anyone mention circlip pliers?
EDITED : Ruffy did.
