In another thread I explained that in investigating the conversion to a flat bed, I discovered my rig was a little portly. I've been shedding pounds and now I'm down to the safety/tool stuff I carry. I went overboard initially, even carrying an aluminum floor jack (which I actually used on another truck first day out). I've cut back to the kit listed below. I don't think I'll cut any more. Some things I only bring if we're headed into placed where they're needed. For example, boards only come if we're in snow or sand. The bushranger only comes if we're going offroad and I think the stock bottle jack might not work well enough. Again, sand as an example. In any case, below is the list.
ARB Rapid deflator
Viair 450P Compressor (we deflate frequently)
Bunker Industries Traction Boards
ARB Bushranger Jack
Safety Seal Tire Repair Kit and Fix-A-Flat
NOCO Boost HD 2000A Lithium Jump Pack
Agawa Canyon Boreal 21 Saw
Garage Monkey Engineering Battery "Flares"
Basic Tool Kit (through socket set, screwdrivers, channel locks, crescent wrench, hammer, folding shovel)
After that are the things I'm thinking of jettisoning, but I want permission.
Jumper Cables (seems redundant with the NOCO)
D-Rings, Hitch Ring, Strap (I'm not adept at extracting others and if someone comes to get me, they should have what they need)
Ditching these couple of things will actually save a fairly substantial amount of weight.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks as always for the sage advice of the collective!
