What's in your kit?! Every off-grid capable rig needs to have a tool kit capable of handling most repair needs on the trail. The kit is going to be vehicle dependent, so you need to do a bit of research on the basic tool requirements for the make and model of your vehicle.

Another tip to help with tool selection is to use your tools that you carry in your vehicle instead of your garage kit whenever you're doing any maintenance or repairs. You'll quickly figure out what your vehicle needs and any deficiencies you have.
I love the two factors you have mentioned that are required for a vehicle toolbox. Be specific for the truck and thin-down to the bare necessities. That tool roll looks awesome too!
Tool bags and rolls are a great alternative to boxes or totes especially when space is limited. Thanks!
Great kit!! Make sure to carry extra fuses,12v air pump and tire plugs.
That's how my tool bag started but I always end up adding more tools till I have to reorganize.
One of the best vids yet from this channel. Base more in the "how too" then pull them in.
Trimming down is hard to do but you did a great job! Going to have to look into those tool rolls. Duct tape, bailing wire, and zip ties are a must 😉
I was just about to post the exact three items, quick fix for missing or broken fasteners, panels...etc 😀👍
Finally got to sit and watch the video. I hadn't really considered a compact electrical repair kit. Took some notes and will re-evaluate my kit. I found a large weekly pill container at the dollar store. Should work great for organizing electrical connectors and whatnot in a small footprint.
Great video! Thank you.
Make your own tool rolls from old denim jeans - hardwearing, easier to sew on a domestic machine and cheap.
If you wanted to trim down more, ditch the wire crimpers - pliers would do that just fine. Get rid of the wheel brace and swap for an extendable breaker bar and dedicated wheel nut socket maybe?
Happy trails from the UK
Flap Bean curious how to make this out of jeans. Sounds like a great idea. How do you and what parts of jeans do you use?
Just got my tool roll, gotta say that thing is really nice quality. Love USA made goods.
Very nice. I put a tool roll on my wish list for Santa and have started right sizing my tool selection for our Jeep JKU. Still have a ways to go, but definitely better than the mess I had before. Safe travels and God Bless!
Been following OB for a while but I never made any comments, I must say this channel is very educational and Michael is very entertaining, I like him better than any stand up comedian. I'm in Europe also doing some overlanding when life allows so it's probably the best channel one can ask for.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video! Just starting to tool up my XJ 😀
Nice how-to video Michael...thanks for putting it together! I always get ideas that I can put to use from these type of videos.
That tool roll looks like a great piece of kit!
Great Video! I'm glad you are thinking about your tool choices and sharing your thinking with us!! Love the hand-drill, great idea - never would have thought to include this, but I can instantly imagine a few cases where it would have made my life much much easier. I used to do open water repairs on boats and had to be very thoughtful about what tools I would bring with me onboard, and my choices mattered - sometimes the vessels would be adrift, or the work had to be finished before an impending storm. Since bringing everything isn't an option, each tool has to be a thoughtful decision.
One recommendation is that it is a good idea to keep a complete spectrum of metric and SAE sockets and wrenches. I have found situations where a bolt head isn't quite working with the specified metric socket, but a SAE socket is the right in-between size to get the job done. There is some overlap, so you don't need a 19mm and a 3/4, for example. Additionally, you may find that someone has done a repair and replaced a bolt with an unexpected sized head - I know you have had your rig for a long time, but IF you are going to have a problem, it will happen on the trail. In the rain (or snow for us Northerners!)
I also noticed you only included one of your 3/8" bar extensions... I have had a number of situations where I needed 2-3 of them stuck together (sometimes with duct tape on a flexi-joint) to get to a stubborn bolt that if it wasn't for field damage, would have been accessible much more easily from above or below. They also pack really nicely in a tool roll and won't really take up much space. I keep 3-4 of the long ones, a few 3" and a handful of various lengths of the 1/4" drive as well in my roll along with the adapters and pivots for each. I used the 1/4" ones once to fish a nut someone had dropped INTO a transmission when removing a gear shift... they were effectively DOA unless they retrieved it, and their flexible magnet was sticking to everything BUT the tiny gear destroying nut. Chewing gum on the end of a 10" 1/4 extension and a few minutes of effort and we had retrieved the object.
Finally, I keep a brass drift for gently 'persuading' things back together when a hammer alone wont reach or would damage a part (8" long, 5/8" thick ish) and a pointed punch for when a wheel bearing HAS to get you off the trail and needs to be, well, it gets ugly and this is a family channel :) Again, both aren't too big and won't add any real bulk to your roll.
I know you have a ton of experience and spend more time out and beyond than most, so I'm sure you have considered all of these situations and more when assembling your kit. Most importantly, thank you for starting the conversation (it is also very timely as I am updating my trail kit this weekend!!)
id include a mini hacksaw, Great video! tool roll seems like a neat way to condense a kit.
Well said. I live by the saying "buy cheap, buy twice". Can't afford stuff straight away? Stick it in your amazon basket and keep an eye until it's on sale. Have a small savings pot so you're ready to pull the trigger when something you want is on offer. I went for the Slice 10478 tool roll as it's durable. Has a black exterior so is hidden under my drivers seat but has an orange interior for if i'm working at night or under my vehicle in the daytime ir a shaded area. Nice kit. Thanks for the video!
Great video. Thank you for your time and efforts in making it for us.
I would only suggest one other thing....Have the socket that fits your axle nuts. and a breaker bar. Im getting one of those rolls right now !!!!
Love those bags and roll! Great video.
YESSSSSS!!!! Been waiting all day for this
Looks like a great tool roll. Not sure what one could fill that huge fold-out pouch with, and still be able to roll the thing up, but nice design and quality overall.
Nice kit though I think I like my Atlas46 Yorktown roll more.
Buy Once, Cry Once. Hard Earned advice I ever learned...
My Dad adhered to "Buy once..Cry once" And 60 yrs later I still have a lot of his gear. Quality items seldom disappoint.
Went and bought some tools today for my rig. Now i feel this pain.
Nice job Michael, great video
Great tip Michael. I hate carrying the bare necessities and have carried my first set of tools to cover the bases as they cover standard and metric, my set of metrinch tools has served me well from first ford ranger to my 4x4 ambulance to my barracuda drag car and countless other Trans modes. While there not made in USA like my trusted Cornwell tools the have gotten off the Fordyce trail and back in action at the Mopar nats. I also love brown jersey gloves as they've protected my knuckle and gave grip in greasy situations. I carry a 3lb copper hammer duct tape and bailing wire a yard length of electrical wire and rubber hose altoid box of electrical connectors and small nuts/screws/bolts a Tylenol bottle of larger and worm clamps in and around it silicone tape bars stop leak gas tank and waterproof putty old fan belt off said vehicle old bearing set for hub small tube of grease no pump needed can of small squirt bottle of prnetrant non pressure and tire kit with extra stems and pieces of bike tube. I've got it down to a 20lb bag for ambulance and 12lb for the car I've never not mcgyvered my way out. Also hi lift handle can have broken tie rods fixed by pounding ends into handle.
Congratulations on 100k subs. Keep up the good work
Great looking tool bags 👍
*It's a great tole roll. Yes and the instruments are beautiful! The only thing is, I think it's a little heavy. Take care of health) I sewed myself a smaller tool roll. Come visit ;-)*
Those bags are nice but I'm sticking with my 2 bright red small vintage tool boxes, quick easy access!!!🇺🇸
Do you leave a grease cartridge stored in the grease gun? If you do, I would suggest putting it in a plastic bag. I had a grease gun leak melted grease through the plunger end on a hot day, 40+ deg Celsius.
Ditch the tire iron... carry a breaker bar and appropriate sockets.
Nice one guys 😎
A good tip is to try to work out of that tool kit when you can at home. So that you know if you need to add a tool or take it out because you thought you needed it but it turns out you actually don’t
Re Watched while Hunkered down...better the 2nd time around for me.
How about a 1 year update, do you still believe this to be The Tool Kit? Additions? Deletions?
Brad Stringfellow On it! 👍🏼
Needs more sockets. Specifically a couple spare 10mm
ha ha ......
I'd love to see a video on how to whittle down a tool collection with ideas and recommendations.
Well said: "if the cost equals quality". Sometime it doesn't.
Awesome video Michael and great minds think alike!! I was just on a trip this weekend and was aggravated by my huge tool box so I too am exploring the roll idea. I wonder where I could get a good list of common tools for my 4runner??
Off road IS my life
VISE GRIPS!!
Lol! "Motivator!"
I clicked so fast when I saw the thumbnail. 😄
haha - Yeah that's how I feel about an organized toolkit as well. It was time!
Little tip on trimming down your tools. A 1/2 inch is 13mm 9/16 = 14mm, 3/4 = 21mm and so on. Look at your tools and see what fits both metric and SEA if memory serves 7/16 = 11mm 11/16 = 24mm, 5/8 = 15mm but there is no substitute for that ever so useful 12 and 10mm
Everything on his vehicle is metric..... Except spark plugs. No need to concern himself with SAE.
@@yotamaticexperience7806 not true. I was a dealer Toyota mech. For years and some crossover SAE i used just a often. If ya need 2 19mm a 3/4 and 19mm and spark plugs are metric just exact match to SAE like 14mm and 9/16 is. 13mm is a bit tight on a half inch but you dont find a 13mm on a toyota it would be a 12mm
@@yotamaticexperience7806 in addition the toyota fj40 in the early days (60s) in line 6 was a Chevy motor. Dealers on PDI had to remove the valve cover to replace it with one that said TOYOTA on it
3/4 is same as 19mm not 21
need to check my toolbox....
Do you guys find that your able to find the tool your looking for when needed? The wrenches and basics are easy but man where did I put that thread locker....did I really bring it!!! Any suggestions?
Yes! Now I am, but with the toolbox it was definitely a search to the bottom of the box.
Is the tool bag at 2:52 the medium or XL size? I see on the website they have two sizes.
What socket organizer is that?
♥
Looks great and great video, but man are those rolls and bags overpriced!
What kind of canvas is that? Waxed cotton canvas or some kind of synthetic?
What wheels are you ruining now are they Method? They look GREAT
Stock 80!
I was thinking a spud wrench would just be better than a wrench and the atlas 46 tool tool seems a lot better that that one
Also a set of 9 inch Klein lineman pliers can do a lot
how do I "find out what I need?" is there a manual or shoot idk a book? ive tried searching forums but those nerds always say take the kitchen sink. 2017 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 4cyl 5 speed manual. thanks in advance TH-cam
Can you do a walkthrough on the patriot camper
Or did you just paint the stock ones? They really pop now
Hey Michael, what are those wire core zip ties called, who makes them, and where can I get them?
These are good: amzn.to/2O64NCf and these if you are working with a heavy duty application: amzn.to/2Yhm7rT
anyone else have a small Ziploc of 10mm sockets?
He clearly wants to be a chef lol
Lots of tools are only helpful if you take spare parts with you
I always carry a spare thermostat and Serpentine belt, and he should carry fluids too.
I think radiator hoses, fluids, stop leaks, u joints and belts are good to have, easy fixes
Sometimes you just need to tighten something up. I like to check over suspension hardware at the end of a hard day on the trail.
@Will James nope, even if you get youre hands on the part from a dealer somewhere it is handy to have you're vehicles specific tools with you. for example one of your weird bolts in inches when you are in europe... you might get the part but have fun asking somebody for tools. and you do not only use tools to replace stuff but also to mend stuff when it breaks.
Not at all true. Almost anything can be repaired, or at least rigged up to get you off the trail.
your missing a 54mm socket for your wheel bearings
Exactly what I was going to say TC, I wouldn’t head bush with out a 54mm thin walled socket and JB Weld.
JB Weld! Added!
Any one have the product number on this tool roll? I went to ATC and a lot of them look alike. Thanks in advance.
It's this one: adventuretoolcompany.com/product/shoproll-tool-roll
Awesome thank you, OBM #17232
$100 for a tool roll??
Great video. Word of advice. Really work on the sound levels of the video. The intro music was insanely like compared to your voice audio
Scratch that, all the music is very loud
You do not have knipex, so you you have to throw it in the garbage and start over
Bottle opener.
On his bumper.
Door jam loop = bottle opener. You know that square loop in the door jam that latches the door closed ;)
looks like your tool roll needs a tool roll...
