Thanks for the suggestions and recommendations, all. I?ll polish this a little more based on the provided info. I got tired of looking at the spare tire carrier hanging on the wall so I have the following. Jack, zip up bag of parts and a roll up tool bag filled with various hand tools. Everything is fastened down.

Wow, the last time in my life when I thought that intensively about a bring me home package was when I had my GDR dream car Trabant. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant
It had two doors, body paneling made of plastic and a very loud engine. Wait a minute... It rings a bell... ![]() But jokes apart - appreciate the effort of designing a kit that fits into the spare wheel tray as this space is virtually unused because a 30 year old spare wheel can't do anything for you anymore... What is discussed here will definitely pay out one day! Sent from the other end of the planet using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app

Thanks, Matt. I did not go too crazy. The brown zip up bag just has an extra belt, O rings, few replacement injectors, gloves, rags, vacuum lines, 12v tire inflator and plug kit. I put a 10mm bolt right through the middle of it and fastened to the carrier to keep it from sliding around. For the jack, I just drilled an extra hole so I could run a heavy duty zip tie through the carrier and tighten it down. The roll up tool bag is fastened down with two bolts, so all you really need to do is remove the elastic straps and unroll it.
I still have plenty of space in the carrier for more, I will add a few more things. I know it is not for everyone, but it beats lugging around an old spare. If it means the difference between being able to fix something on the spot versus waiting two or three hours for a flatbed to show up, I will try to fix it first. |

But, in all seriousness (if I must), Jim Voter does several long distance voyages and had the most compact* and comprehensive "kit" I've seen. Jim is on one of his trips right now, and if you PM him, I'm sure he'll give you the run down on his kit. Here's what I carry based on most likely kinds of problems - (you mileage may vary - impossible to anticipate everything - that where Marty's AAA card and credit card are golden!)
I used to carry an FSM, but a cell phone call to one of the ZR-1 brothers here is much easier and smaller to carry. If noting else - it gives me some sense of security to carry this stuff on long trips. But, this kit will only address the 'superficial' stuff. Deep mechanical issues...is what the AAA and Credit card are for!!

Great ideas! I've made long trips without any of that stuff, been super lucky I think. 30 year old car, things go wrong.
