The comments in my other thread about my Jeep got me thinking. Who has a vehicle they would consider a bugout vehicle,is it built for offroad use, and what do you keep in it?

Mine would be my 2005 Jeep Wrangler X-Edition. 4.0 Liter Inline 6, 6-cylinder, 4WD. 33"x12.5"x15" Mud Kings, welded rear diff, Aussie Locker in the front diff, Ramsey REP 8.5K winch, 2.5" Budget Boost lift, 1" body lift, 1" Brown Dog Industries motor mount lift, custom 1/4" thick rocker armor, Rusty's Offroad radiator skid plate.

What I carry in it:

a ton of tools
small air compressor
duct tape, tie-wraps
tire plug/patch kit
48" Hi-Lift
tire chocks
hand saw
flashlight
mechanic's gloves
tire pressure gauge
spare rear axle shafts
spare rear drive shaft
spare unit (wheel) bearing
spare universal joints
spare nuts and bolts

Currently, tools alone fill 4 ammo cans. I also carry oil, water, antifreeze, gear lube, brake fluid, ps fluid, grease, WD40, fix-a-flat, snatch strap, tree saver, 3/4" D-ring, 20' tow chain, and a bag of ratchet straps and bungee cords.
