[QUOTE="TDBrown, post: 1477744, member: 21988"] So what are the 20% of tools that solve 80% of the problems off-roading? My sons and I are trying to create the toolbox version of a lightweight backpack or a Bare Minimum Go Bag. One of my sons does a ton of car repairs and has a metric butt-tonne (10% more than an imperial butt-ton) of tools. But we have been debating the minimum amount of tools we could carry off-road to solve the majority of the problems. Not trying to be a support truck, just help each other out. Problem is, among our family we have GM, Ford, Japanese, and European (Land Rover) off-roaders. So we're trying to figure out the absolute bare minimum number of tools we could carry in one tool box to solve 80% of our problems. Other problem is, none of us are very experienced off-roaders. So we started debating whether we really needed a hose-clamp plier or if we could make do with just a basic plier 80% of the time? If we don't take a whole socket set, which sizes of SAE and Metric sockets would we take. Stuff like that. So the question for you experienced off-roaders is what tools would make it into a toolbox that you were trying to keep as small as possible, but still cover 80% of the problems encountered by a variety of off-roaders?
