What to pack? Tips-tricks

[SteveG]

Bumping this thread-

So when you guys go to the desert- what are you using to transport spare parts, fluids etc etc? Im not talking about packing tools in your race truck /prerunner. Im talking service stuff- Larger parts, bulk fluids, nitrogen kits, etc.

I have used totes in the past but i felt like i was always having to shuffle through them to get what i need and they would be a mess at the end of the trip.

I have one of the husky packout rollers i was planning to use for larger tools and bigger items, possibly a tote or two for fluids and extension cords/lights etc.

Interested to see what you guys are using. I have also considered mounting a larger tool box/job box to my trailer for these items.

I carry automotive fluids in a Front Runner box. I also have a modified box that holds about 7 gallons of water... that one is only packed for long trips with lots of "off-grid" time. The trick for keeping it from not becoming a shit show is to give everything a home. Otherwise, things just go everywhere and, eventually, everything goes anywhere... shite show. Been there done that!

Post and pic on fluids box:

I had to get into the fluids box in the Bronco… thought I’d snap a photo. I use these Nalgene containers because they‘re space-efficient and a lot more durable than a regular quart of oil.

I now use the containers SteveG recommends for fluids, those and Milwaukee pack out containers have been a game changer

Those are way cooler than the narrow mouth 1L nalgines I have at work. The square bottles I could get my hands on are PETG (and also narrow mouth). I might have to start bringing home some used ones to see how they fit in my Fluids tote.

The Nalgene bottles I use are fantastic. I have yet to hurt one and they pack well in the Front Runner boxes
