Preseason prep for vehicles

[Fowl Play]

When I know I’m going super remote I do the same. Check all fluids, replace anything close to maintenance schedule. Brakes, battery, windshield wipers, filters. Check spare. Then I carry the following in with me: Noco battery pack, air pump, tire and sidewall patch kits, jack, Colby emergency valve kits, valve cores, chains, recovery straps/gear, chainsaw, shovel, first aid and survival kit. That will get me out of pretty much anything. Phone/Inreach covers me for anything else. I’ve had to use everything in my kit at one point or another.

Don't forget belts

^^^^^ THIS ! ^^^^^^^^^^
If you lose a serpentine belt, lots of things will stop working soon. If it is older than 3 years, change it and if it is in good shape, keep it as a spare.

Not a big for rear mounted spares like on a wrangler but still take your spare off and clean, grease etc to make sure the mechanism works. Carry a spare lug nut, make sure you have the wheel lock key. Check the psi in the spare. Check wiper blades and carry a spare. Clean the inside of your windows.
