Warren:
With that grocery list of items are you pulling a small trailer behind your snake? (smile)

http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../DSCN46742.JPG Behind the bag chair (adjustable bunji cord to hinges) is a plastic Sears tool box, a car cover and the tonneau cover. There is still plenty of room on the right and left sides behind the tires for clothes and other stuff. On top of the plastic container, you could easily store more stuff, but it would slide around. I spent a lot of time finding the plastic storage container that would fit snuggly with a six pack cooler and the Sears box on the main floor. Plus everything is secured so it does not shift on spirited cornering. :LOL: The trunk area of an SPF is huge. It has to be at least twice the volume of an FFR. |
What about a coil over shock adjusting wrench so while your waiting for the tow truck you can be raising the cobra for more ground clearance?

Just about everything has been posted. An AAA card is very handy with an assortment of cash. I try to carry a fold up chair, but it doesn't always fit. I also carry a 25" long breaker bar...for multiple reasons.
A ground cover so you can lay under the car over and over again and fix. :D :D :D |
I may have missed it, but a flashlight can be a lifesaver. Not fun getting stuck in the dark without a light. And considering the Cobra heritage, i.e. Joseph Lucas, I've made good use of a jumper wire, not jumper cables. Take two.

The only thing I carry in the trunk is two soft folding chairs. I used to carry a flat blade screwdriver, but since I put in new metering blocks I have had no use for it. I don't travel to far from my house and I do have a AAA card with the 100 mile tow package, but I would get my own trailer from my house and have someone wait with the car before I let it go on a tow truck.
I guess if you are taking long trips you might be in a differenet situation. In my jeep I carry everything you could imagine, but I also take it way out on trails in the desert. Every situation is different. |

I do not drink beer, so its usually filled with diet soda or water. |

WOW. Never seen one of those. Do you know who makes those kind of tow vehicles? I hope I never need a tow, but I'd sure like to find out who has one in my area. |
The above posts cover the important stuff for repairs and such, but what is missing is the blonde blow up doll to get you into the car-pool lane to avoid overheating;)

Oh, maybe you meant the overheating of the Cobra? |
Would it be helpful to everyone to start a list by State of all the splitbed, flatbed towers? This way here you don't have to re-invent the wheel, just copy the list for your State? I'm willing to take the task on and compile the list once a week for all the States. Let me know.

Its a premium service not regular AAA service. |
I think for starters, the most important of all is a good first aid kit, and a fire ext.then followed by a basic set of tools, which I bought at sears in kinda a kit form, then I put a hand full of rags and cleaning stuff, I put it all in a nice little bag, that wheighs about 25 to 30 pounds.But like I said and I didnt here anyone mention a first aid kit, that to me is very important, I carry one in all my cars.

One of these:

I also keep a pair of cheap leather gloves in every vehicle we own.

I carry most of the tools that I use when working on the car in a military tool bag. Also have various spare parts for the carb, electronics and fix-o-flat. It's probably 70 pounds of stuff. Also have a few wash & clean products but rely on Rain-X and windshield cleaner as about the only cleaning I do on a trip. I've carried a cover but going to give up on that as a PITA. The top is always along but it doesn't go on until there's absolutely no other choice. The tonneau is on when parked or driving in the rain.
Cell phone, GPS, Ipod, ear buds, personal safety device (45acp), med kit, sunscreen and lots of water. When you're in the middle of BFE MT, NE, WY, ND, SD or other remote place and something like 2,000 miles from home it's comforting to have the things that you may need. Two cruises now from MI to CO, WY, MT and home, 4,500 miles each time. No serious problems and never put the top up once on either trip but have been rained on, hailed on driven on gravel roads, through cow manure, made high speed passes on two lane blacktop and roasted in the sun. Miles of smiles, Jim Jim |
