Was wondering, if you have to make a list of tools to take with on a trip, what will you pack in the amo box? Or will it have to be bedside trommel?
What tools are needed for a trip

Hi Mogster,
don't start with bedsidetrommel or ammobox. That is all to havy, we don't get junger!!! Try to get good tools in a box, of a kind, like you can buy at a good toolshop. I got one with everything in and one with big tools like 20 to 50 sockets ect. I only take one ammobox for parts and bolts ect. Do yourself a favor wen you packt you Mog go on a scale, you will be suprised.

True words Jochen. One tend to over pack.
What I realised yesterday is that I must have at least two or three No 7 and 9 ring/open-ended spanners for breaks on my 416. The little buggers are like socks in the washing. Now you see them and then they go walk-about and leave you wondering..

Dont use normal spanners for the brake lines - you'll just strip the fittings. Get proper flare nut wrenches - they're designed for the job (lesson I learned the hard way...)
On my mog the original brake lines are 12mm and 19mm. Some of the new lines I had made up had 13mm flare nuts

After thinking again of your post #3 above I think I owe an apology. I thought you're talking about taking apart the brake lines, but I suspect now you were referring to bleeding the brakes, in which case normal spanners is more than adequate

To get back to the original question of which tools to take on a trip, here is what I normally take to remote areas:
1/2 inch socket set (7mm to 24mm)
1/2 socket cheater bar
3/4 inch socket set (22mm to 50mm)
Torque wrenches (1/2inch up to 240nm, 3/4 inch up to 500nm)
Thin wall 19mm socket for portal oil ports
Various allen key sockets (diff filler, drain plug and a few others)
Spanner set open/ring (7mm - 32mm)
Flare nut wrenches (10mm - 19mm) (a new addition after having to undo 39 year old brake lines recently)
Various pliers and screw drivers
Hammers (normal and 5 pound)
Proper big wheel spanner
3 x tire levers (with soap and knowledge on how to use - also one of the reasons I take a 5 pound hammer
)
2 x bottle jacks
That's about it. Sounds like a lot, but it easily disappears into the moggie ;-)
I tend to go overkill on tools and recovery kit as I often do solo trips and thus can't rely on someone else's tools.
I think we should similar threads on spare parts and one on recovery kit to take along...
