This a great thread with great information.
I keep a soft tool bag with a little of everything. 1/4, 3/8 drive rachets, and sockets in SAE and Metric, pliers, snips, screw drivers, torx bits, torx sockets and torx drivers in a variety sizes. A small pipe wrench, channel locks, flashlight, and a adjustable wrench. I also keep a laser thermometer, and code reader too.

When you say a code reader, are you talking about a dedicated device or a bluetooth dongle that works with JSCAN?

Not directed at me - but I carry both. A dongle to use JSCAN with my truck and then I have a dedicated code reader for other vehicles.

Pipe wrench. That’s probably a good idea. Dont have one of those in the box.

I bet he's talking about the basic code readers.

Though I save two hours on a 63 hour drive by driving straight north through Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota 😄
You. could drive up through Arkansas to join up with me. Then we could head for Denver. Have 2 boys there we could stay for the night.

Years ago. My cousin and her husband both retired at the same time. They rented a motorhome and drove to Alaska from Pittsburgh Pa. They spent 4 months driving all over Alaska. Said the biggest thing was the black flies. Had to wear a head net everytime they went outside.

The only tools you need. A small straight screwdriver, small philips, small vise grips, small ball peen, small adjustable wrench, small pipe wrench. You also need large screwdriver, large philips, large vise grips, large ball peen, large adjustable wrench, large pipe wrench. The small tools are for fine adjustments. The large tools are for course adjustments.

The mosquitoes are the size of small helicopters.
