Post a photo (or describe) your HMMWV travel tool kit

[M1165A1]

I'm reassembling mine for summer 4WD season and looking for inspiration. What tools and spares are you carrying?

 

[Thunderbirds]

Pretty simple, spare tire, jack, rain tight footlocker with 12 volt portable 8,000 lbs marina winch to be hung on the pintle hook or chained to the front, diesel treatment, a tarp, tire iron, another small toolbox with diverse tools, Jerry can for spare fuel, cargo net for groceries, wheel chocks, and most importantly the American Flag.

I'd recommend folding the American flag correctly and stowing it a little better or at least showing a little better reverence for it .

Now that you mention that, I absolutely agree. It’s wrapped around a vehicle pole, so folding is it out, but I need to store it more respectfully… 26 years military active duty should have tought me better . Thanks for pointing this out.

Thank you Sir.

AAA RV + 100 miles towing.

Basic sockets and wrenches, pliers, jack, spare tire, tow bar, tow straps, winch.

All I need is to get it to a paved road, and then call AAA to get it home.

AAA is $7 a mile after your free towing mileage is used up. It was $40 for me to upgrade to the 100 mile plan from the 10 mile plan. Well worth it.

Anyone who owns a hmmwv should have the 200 mile plan from AAA….its used every week in my shop from truck owners.

I own the complete 24 V military impact repair toolset. I have a small flux core 110/220 welder with inverter. I have assorted screw drivers and pliers and ratchets. I have a spare tire with RicoRhino. I have 10 gallons water Gerrycans and 20 gallons Diesel Gerrycans. IPhone with emergency GPS. GMRS handheld. Poptop camper.

I used to have the $85 dollar/year plan for over 17 years, never had any need for any service. Then my SUVs timing belt came apart in 2019, the towing was still $165 after all was said and done and after the "free" miles. I did the math, I paid over $1,445 for over 17 years membership, saved $180 that day, and all I have is this lousy T-shirt ... I quit my plan after and have not needed it since either. But I've always felt protected and that may be worth it. YMMV

I'm also commonly towing trailers with my truck, so the RV + also covers hauling the trailer, where a normal policy won't. (at least to my understanding)
I consider it cheap insurance, though reality is unless I'm in another state I have an Aunt/Uncle with a hay business and lots of trucks/trailers that I could borrow to pick up the truck. That's why I only went with 100 miles instead of 200. Without the available trailers, I'd likely buy the 200 mile policy.
