So my wife asks me tonight, do you know everything you should be Bringing for the trail. Im like.... yeah! Then I get the soulful stare. So I guess my question to the group would be, what do I really need to bring. When we air down, should I have a portable air compressor, or will someone have one? Out of the 3k tools I have, should I bring some? Should I bring extra gas?.... I guess I need some guidance on this one.

Probably no need for extra gas. I’ve been in the position of needing to ask for the use of a compressor. The answer wasn’t no, but it is a situation that gets old fast. I’d say prepare the best you can. You can’t think of everything and with experience you will find what is helpful and what isn’t on the trail. I just went through the things I carry and weeded some things out I haven’t used.
Minimum I’d suggest.
12v compressor Decent spare Jack w/ support board Shovel Water Lunch Hitch tow point
What I usually bring in addition.
12v jump box 1/2” 3/8” 1/4” socket set 1/2” 3/8” beaker bar 1/2” 3/8” impact socket set Metric box end set Rubber mallet 2.5lb mallet Various channel locks/adjustable/pipe wrenches Various screwdrivers/cutters/hand tools 4’ cheater bar MAPP torch PB Laster 2 Dewalt organizers of various fasteners and hardware 18v 1/2” impact 18v 1/2” drill 18v impact driver 18v sawzall 18v 4” grinder 18v batteries Spare CV shaft (or 2) Spare fan belt Zip ties Gorilla tape Electrical tape Various fuses Various fluids Cigars/cutter/lighter CB/FRS/GMRS radios Hi lift jack 30’ tow strap 25’ snatch strap Tire plug kit (3) 3/4” clevis
For a multiple day trip, or far from home.
(2) 6 ton jack stands w/ support boards Rivetnut tool with various rivetnuts Metric tap and die set Ammo box of 14g, 8g, 1/0 wire and various electrical connectors Spare tie rod ends Spare U-joints Spare front hub assembly

Make sure you have a full tank of gas & you shouldn’t need to bring extra. Having a compressor or co tank for airing is best. If not at GG theres a gas station close by that you can get air at. Here’s more useful info - viewtopic.php?t=8638Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I go down to 12 from 40, and to put it back up to 40 take 2-3 min per tire on my ARB Twin. And it’s one of the fastes compressors out there.
