Tools and things

[Pancake1291]

HI,
I am pretty new to off roading a truck. I want to start taking the truck out a little further into the desert and I will probably be alone sometimes. I know its not ideal but it is what it is. Is there a tool bag or kit that people like for the raptor to keep on hand to repair possible failures? Are there spare parts people carry other than tires? When I was in the market one thing I noticed on a lot of raptors were car fax/service records shown serpentine belts, so I have a spare of those and a spare 4wd actuator motor. I have a fuse 27 relocation kit ready to install on the next good weather day I have off work. Freezing temps and 12 year old plastic is a rough combo. My truck is all stock 150k miles. Has anyone made a list of recommended tools? I appreciate any advice and opinions.

I would carry a spare fuel pump module, mine went out and I was about 150 miles to the nearest place that could fix it, had I carried one I could have fixed it on the spot and drove home instead of an expensive tow. I also carry a small Bluetooth computer scanner to aid in troubleshooting. Not sure what else to carry though as I'm doing the same thing as you. And I think I'll add a spare serpentine belt to my kit now.

Anytime something has to be replaced I'm just upgrading in plans to keep the truck forever. Unless its a sensor.

Daily Trail Load-Out…Quarterly Inventory

It was time for my 4th Qtr Inventory of my Daily Load-Out. I carry so much Shixt that I have to do a quarterly inventory to remember what I have and where the hell it is…:shakehead::happy175: Additionally, it gives me a chance to see if there is a better place for something I’ve needed recently...
