Traveling supplies, spares and tools?
What are some good items to consider for taking along on the smaller trips of about 2 -4 hours each way. I anticipate most of this on highways. I am speaking of spare belts? hoses?, etc. Gas, oil and water??? Tire change tools?? motor repair tools?? spares??. A trip is not eminent, but I am getting more into the Humvee updating as the speedster nears completion.

Join AAA! No kidding just do it.
Some of all of the fluids.
A GOOD jack, and a better than Good spare. A runflat is awesome if you are getting shot at but if you drive on it long it’s going to tear up fenders, diesel tanks, drive shafts etcetera.
I have a little bag with a set of wire cutters, crimper, some butt splices and various other wire repair stuff. No telling what you may need so I have a very diverse supply.
Belts really aren’t really something you can change on the roadside unless you have put the QD on the hydraulic line going to the fan. I wouldn’t bother with belts unless you have done that mod.
I have a homemade radiator hose fix that’s just two clamps with a sleeve that slides in the hose. I also have a few various sizes radiator clamps.
Last but not least a good tow rope.
