I carry: tow ropes, shackles, electric tyre pump, small spade, folding saw, loppers,couple of adjustable spanners, wire cutters, cable ties, electrical tape, swiss army knife, head torch, led lenser "mag light", basic first aid kit, local paper os map, can of wd40 and brake cleaner............probably forgot a few items out of my "box of magic".

Really depends what your doing............I go laning quite alot so spade loppers etc are handy to have, you can dig yourself out of trouble and make bush mats to use as waffle boards;)

Would it be at all possible to see photos of how you store everything?

Proud. I've never used any of this for myself. It's always to help someone else out.

I cant upload pics at the moment but my spade is mounted to the inside of the rear door on homemade brackets and the rest I keep in a plastic storage box apart from the loppers.

Nothing! :ohmy:

Then again it is not a rock climber or mud plugger. I say nothing cos stuff gets nicked. I do have a telescopic wheel wrench but that is just instead of the standard lug wrench.

I carry nothing extra in the winter in any of my fourbies...........if my 4x4 can't do snow it's no use to me. :laugh: :laugh:
