And most importantly a "I can fix anything" attitude. Never say die and you can do many things.

Sounds about right. I always carry way more tools and spare parts then I need. But it's way better then being broken with no way to fix your junk. I also carry thread files, thread chasers, epoxy, both proformed rubber and bulk 1/8 brake lines. I also carry spare front and rear drive shafts. You would be surprised how much crap you can fit into the back of a bronco.

Oh and don't forget the starting fluid and water proof matches. Not to mention spare air line for the locker.

Speaking of air lockers. All the fittings and ferrules and thse small o-rings are a good idea too. The way I go through seal housings I may need to keep a spare as well.

I just keep collecting tools as I need them now have spare front axle shafts. Still need ones for the rear.

As Dangerranger can tell you make sure your spare shafts match the axle shafts that you have.

Well, now that we think about it, Tim isn't too sure if that shaft will work in his application either. It is a spare short side from a chevy that he had laying around. Just tossed it in after he broke the lf shaft in the front yard pulling out a rose bush I think. LOL. Sorry Tim, thats just a great story.

[Lurch]

It was a fence post set in concrete. I think the concrete is still there just buried it. That axle did break way to easy though.

Geez, what are you guys gonna think of after I post up the lists of rig mods I'm plagerizing
