What am I forgetting?

 

[Rot Box]

Headlight switch.

Fuel pump.

Upper and lower radiator hoses (for when your belts give out and take them out with it).

Ether.

Earplugs... In case your wife is very vocal like mine

 

[TWeatherford]

How about some fuel line, extra plastic injector return fittings and hose, superglue, fuses (surely you have those though), glow plug/starter relay. I also carry two lug wrenches. 1 factory, and the faster, more convenient X-style. Though my x-style lug wrench is well made, I'm scared that if the weld ever breaks, I'm in trouble.

um. the kitchen sink? an M1 tank? some deuce and a half wheels and tires? (for incase a convoy is broke down). Throw the fix a flat out or you will **** the tire guys off who fix your flat. and all i can say is. That must be a damn big toolbox.

I got a utility bed. It can hold a LOT of junk

 

[burtcheca]

A compass, maps, matches or a lighter and toilet paper.

This is getting interesting! You are getting close to my neck of the woods!

I like the part that goes bang. I always have my 586 under my seat, not in my tool box, and enough ammo not too far. And of course survival knife and my Army machete.

You are right about the wife.

Headlight switch is on the list. Good call on the fuel pump, I forgot to put that on the list but there is an extra pump in there somewhere near the bottom.

Some excellant ideas, like plastic injector pieces. I have o-rings in there. Hand cleaner and rags is a big one I forgot.

I will need some fuel line and clamps.

I cannot believe I forgot fuses and bulbs. And a relay.

Toilet paper. Whoa, might need that.

A medkit! Thanks, gotta get that. Well I got duct tape.

....in case a convoy is broke down....

 

[burtcheca]

Air bed, pillow, blanket, tent, some extra clothing and a wind-up/batteries radio with weather band.

You said "remote areas or extended journey", right?

[bigrandy]

Dont forget a bottle of whiskey...for cleaning wounds of course!

 

[riotwarrior]

how bout a fire extinguisher....maybe a spare throwout bearing...oh wait u said atf....sux to be u....

 

[OLDBULL8]

Dont forget a bottle of whiskey...for cleaning wounds of course!

Jack Daniels Black Label is excellent for that. If the wound is large, a large swig, then pour a little, very little.

 

[bike-maker]

Bailing Wire, 1 can of chew at least half full for emergency radiator repair.

How about a block of wood for blocking the air intake in case of a engine runaway.
