So far ive got in car:

2 Portable HAM radios.
tow rope
jump leads
pix axe (folding)
Folding shovel
water bottles x6
24hr ration pack
jerry can (attached ingeniously, ill take a pic in a mo.
first aid kit
Torque wrench with fitments for wheels.
Fire extinguisher
baby wipes (lol)
usb cables
12v to 240v adaptor
Basic tool pouch
cargo net
bungee fasteners
Wind up lantern/radio
Poncho
Hat, scarf, gloves


As you are obviously very nearly completely ready for the Apocalypse, Andy - can I suggest you add a nice tube of Germolene!
It won't do any real good - but then a) it will give the illusion of (temporary) health and wellbeing, b) it smells strongly - and I understand Zombies can be a bit manky, and c) it reminds me of happy days with scuffed knees as a toddler (you may have to pass on this last one).

Guy that is a pertinent point! The zombie apocalypse is very near, according to my MI5 and CIA contacts ;-) Anything that keeps them at bay is valuable. I have exploding pellets for my .22 BSA lighting rifle, a crossbow ready to be deployed at a minutes notice, an axe - which i throw with eyeball penetrating precision, and women's make-up - applied correctly, to make me blend in with the walking dead (Dont ask) ;-)

A pot of Germailine as per your recommendation (thank you guy) and as suggested by George - A six pack of condoms for dual purpose application :woohoo: :dry: :whistle:

If I might make a suggestion. Less time watching zombie movies and more time spent Jimny driving.

Thinking of swapping the standard jack out for a bottle jack. Have always hated scissor jacks, they feel a heartbeat away from collapsing.

2 ton would be fine for the Jimny from a weight perspective, you also need to factor in the closed height and max lift height to make sure it will fit under the jacking points and lift it high enough.

Just checked mine and front jacking point is 210mm from the ground, rear about 250mm, so although the Halfords 2T would fit fine, you'd only get about 46mm lift on the rears (excluding the extra from having the screw extension on top).

I'll probably go for something from Machine Mart and a bit larger so that it's usable on other cars if needed.The Clarke 5T is only £20, fits under the jacking points and goes up to 355mm, so plenty of clearance.
