[DTB]

Wow those are really some great lists...

I like the extra first aid/safety materials you carry with ya hawk thor..great idea

[KDXSR5]

KDX, why do you carry spray paint with ya? I just gotta ask

Everytime I get some gouges in the paint or some srapes on my bumpers I throwsome paint on them so I wont worry about them rusting. Plus i get bored sometimes and just whip out some spray paint and paint stuff.

[Caboose]

Plus i get bored sometimes and just whip out some spray paint and paint stuff.

*Cough* Tagger *Cough* 

But seriously, this is a great thread guys.  Im a firm believer that you can never be too prepared.

[KDXSR5]

haha, no, more like... Oh look that tractor needs some paint. Stuff like that. I wish i had the artistic skills to be a good tagger, there is some real nice artwork out there made with spray paint.

[Tallchevy]

Everytime I get some gouges in the paint or some srapes on my bumpers I throwsome paint on them so I wont worry about them rusting. Plus i get bored sometimes and just whip out some spray paint and paint stuff.

I guess in your area rust is a problem.

*Cough* Tagger *Cough* 

[DTB]

thats funny ok...i was just asking because i have some spray paint in my toolbox too and im not sure why its there....thought maybe you would know KDX  

[KDXSR5]

I am surprised no one has questioned the turtle wax I carry yet

[DTB]

I am surprised no one has questioned the turtle wax I carry yet

do tell 


I always thought it would be funny (kind of as a joke and kind of not) to carry some spare Jeep parts in case you get stuck behind some on the trail

[Tallchevy]

I am surprised no one has questioned the turtle wax I carry yet

That's easy, you wax the underside so the mud washes off easy.

[KDXSR5]

That's easy, you wax the underside so the mud washes off easy.

Nope, i use PAM cooking spray for that. its a trick I learned when I used to race the KDX. I actually keep the turtle wax around to wax my tailgate about once a month because it no longer has a clear coat on it, and keeping wax on it retains the color so it isn't all faded.

[Tallchevy]

Nope, i use PAM cooking spray for that.

Sooooooooo.................do you take that with you too?

[Tallchevy]

We figure out how many we have in our group & decide what we are going to bring for that trip. That way we each travel as light as possible but we have enough to do a trail fix if needed.

[KDXSR5]

Sooooooooo.................do you take that with you too?

no, I am out of it

We figure out how many we have in our group & decide what we are going to bring for that trip. That way we each travel as light as possible but we have enough to do a trail fix if needed.

This is a good idea, but I tend to travel alone a lot, so i need to carry everything and be REALLY heavy!
