Break-down kit for long Nationals drives

[In the Shed]

Great list Tim

I reckon you have nearly all potential breakdowns covered. Only other suggestion after looking at your first lot of pics would be a spare pair of thongs, a pair like Blacky wears

Gee that is extensive. I Guess you can get by without wipers but I carried a spare motor to Toowoomba and roger ended up needing it.

just cut an apple in half and wipe the windscreen with it

Tim if you had an FB you wouldn't need most of that stuff - I carry a toolbag , some cable ties and tape , a spare wheel , a jack and a wheel brace

P.S. - I know I am going to get slaughtered for the post above but its all part of the fun

Yep that is one detailed travel box !

Just thinking there was a bloke from SA somewhere that went to the Toowoomba Nats that needed a spare gearbox, the question is did he have oil in it ??

Oil weren’t the problem… . It were torque in excess..

Which goes to show the most invaluable item in the kit is a connection to the good people on this forum…………….

I have a new-found respect for modern batteries. When I first saw those little jump-start packs, I thought "pffft! no chance that something the size of a cigarette packet will turn over an engine". I was wrong... they have an incredible amount of grunt for something you can charge with an USB cable.
