Default Re: Purple ZR-1 Road Trip to Yellowstone and the Pacific Northwest

There was a question about what tools and supplies I carry when we travel so I will try to list the things I have pack.

I put my tools and parts in the storage compartment behind the passenger seat. In the 1995 (and in a 1994) the jack is stored there. I removed the jack and the Styrofoam block that holds it. I double-wrapped the jack in plastic and put it in the spare tire. I leave the plastic "bucket" at home.

The compartment also has a radio receiver and control unit Velcro-ed to the side. Because I installed an after-market nav system/stereo, that unit in removed.

For spare parts I loaded: alternator, fuel pump, serpentine belt, idler pulley, 5/16 inch coolant hose and hose clamps, ignition coil and a fuel pump jumper connector.

For supplies I carry brake/clutch fluid (Dot 3), spare fuses (three sizes), and an oil filter if the trip will be long enough to require an oil change on the road.

My philosophy for replacement parts to carry is to recover from a failure that will disable the car and can reasonably be replaced with on the road or in a parking lot. I would be able to pull the plenum for repairs.

For tools I carry: 1/4" drive socket set with sockets 7mm to 13 and 1/4 to 9/16", ratchet handle and extension, socket u-joint, two standard and two phillips screw drivers, Torx bit socket set, long T-40 and T-15 wrenches, various small pliers, vise grip wrench, crescent wrench, six-in-one multi tool, medium and large arc joint pliers, wire stripper/crimper with lugs and unions, scraper, small pry bar, zip ties, siphon tubing and a bulb, flashlights, multimeter with leads and jumper wires, magnetic pickup tool.

I also carry jumper cables under the passenger seat and a first aid kit under the driver's seat.

In the future, I will add plenum gaskets to my supply.

I am working from memory so I probably missed some.
