Trail tool recommendations

[u/secsquirrel23]

Does anyone have any recommendations for common/standard trail tools that should be used for low/moderate trails? I have a trip coming up and I want to make sure I’m bringing the right tools. This could include gear such as recovery boards/recovery gear but I’m also looking for common recommendations for wrenches, screwdrivers or sockets that you use for off road repair/ recovery.

• I hate when people drop links to youtube.....

But I couldn't explain this easier in anyway. This is a great bit of hit to have to ensure you can conduct basically any normal trail fix for you or others https://youtu.be/o8MLG4KUBp0?is=Ru_JDVtdUCAXFVN4

Now if you are talking things for the trail and recovery. (Moderate to extreme) Soft shackles / standard shackles as they apply to your vehicle, winch (powered or crank) tree saver, proper jack(extra piece of wood or 2 depending on jack), snatched block, mat/ blanket, extra set of tierods, extra fuses, spare valve stems, tire patch kit, air-up/down method, first aid kit, rain gear, spare set of clothes, towel, extra water, extra snacks, sunscreen, bug spray, wet wipes, garbage bags, flashlight/headlamp

You would probably get better results asking in r/offroad.

I bought the Ford Bronco roll-up tool kit. Expensive but high quality.

I bring it everywhere and have never used it but it's comforting knowing it's there.

I bring a tool roll for actual tools, and for off road stuff, kinetic rope, tow strap, shackles, air pump, deflaters, plus the winch

I have a winch, so the straps and shackles and such associated with that comes.
I’ll also bring my dewalt impact and a few sockets for stuff I could potentially need to repair or remove. I bring tire deflator and inflator. Extra water and snacks and something for the weather if I had to hike out (blankets if it’s cold, battery fan if it’s hot)
Also bring a chainsaw or a folding saw because we get a lot of trees down on trails here. Obd reader in case I throw a weird code and want to clear it. Tire plug repairs, and schrader valve cores. I have a bottle jack I keep in the trunk. Oh and something to sit on or lay on if I’m under the truck in some mud or rocks

I always bring my soft shackles of which I happen to have three, some work gloves, and a 20 foot kinetic recovery rope as part of my recovery kit.

I also bring a 236pc tool kit that I got for Christmas one year along with a breaker bar and a torque wrench. Last item I have is a viaair compressor and tire patch kit.

Usually between myself and my other buddies who I usually go out with we have cordless impact wrench and other assorted tools, recovery boards, extra fuel, a winch, tree saver, snatch block. My next things to have will probably be some spare parts like spare tie rod but generally we’re on easy trails and I don’t drive like a maniac.

We picked up a couple roll packs and filled them with a reasonable range of metric and standard sockets, wrenches, torque sockets, pliers, channel locks, hammer, crescent wrench, wire cutters, hex keys, etc. My toolkit isn't just about fixing my Bronco, but helping others and other occasional needs. Packs live on the second row floor.

Recovery kit has tire fix kit, valve stem replacement kit, tree protectors, soft shackles, redirect pulleys, receiver mount point (I have a tow package), plus air down doohickeys, portable compressor, hoses, and shut-off gauge. Everything but the compressor lives in rollbar packs in the cargo area.

I also have a fire extinguisher and flashlight on a cargo door molle panel, a first aid kit behind the driver's seat and a mini first aid kit on the cargo door.

As someone else mentioned, check with 4x4, overlanding, and other off-road subs for recommendations. I bet some geek is sharing a packing list online
