I suggest, as others, to get a Hi-Lift jack and external mount. This can be used to lift, compress, winch... truely multi-purpose. Combined with some logging chain and cable, you can winch 7000lbs in 40" installments. Second, consider a Max-tool kit. This is a shovel/pick/hoe/rake etc. combination tool that is a favorite with 4 wheelers. I believe that it was designed for forest-fire workers and it's quality is absolutely first rate. I have often seen racks designed to hold these two items.<br>If you still have room, a large manual winch/ hoist could be a valuable addition. I have a "More Power Puller" come-a-long made by Avenir. This is a serious device and weighs about 45 lbs, has 40' of 5/16" cable. It looks more or less like a regular come-a-long but 5 times the size. It weighs alot, but not as much as an electric, hydraulic or PTO winch and is human powered... They are often advertised in the back of off-road maazines...<br><br>Tools:<br>Get good tools. I suggest Sears Craftsman for value, quality and availability. They are a little pricy, but nowhere near Snap-On or Mac, and will get the job done. Do repairs yourself so that you know what tools you will need/ not need. I've learned from experience to carry socket universal joints, 1/2" drive sockets, a stubby and regular 3/8" drive ratchet handles, lots of varying extensions. You learn the hard way on particular jobs on exactly what you need. Important additions to carry: about 5 pair of cheap vice grips to keep broken things clamped, bailing wire, JB Weld, a large Crecent wrench, large prybar, alignment tool (this looks like a large round steel punch, it's used to line up bolt holes and is essential for lining up tweaked parts), special tools including hub tool, tools for odd fittings (torx, square drive, allen, etc...). In my truck's tool bag are also: 16 oz (450 gram) ball peen hammer, multi-meter, tubeless repair kit, 8" mill file, 12" bastard file, 8" half-round file, 10" rat tail file, jewelers files, folding hacksaw(carry several blades).<br><br>This might be overkill for your trip, but it is not as bulky as it sounds. I would even carry a DeWalt 18V cordless drill with car charger. Included would be drill bits, steel and brass brushes, grinding stones and a small drill-powered pump. (that has saved my bacon). I could go on and on, the trick, it would seem) is to carry everything you need and nothing you dont! ; )
