Transport Question

[Phares]

Alright I think I got a good question buts it's 2AM so it might just be silly...Hypothetically (That means pretend for some of you) you were going to be getting a 40 and you had to drive it back to your home. You get one duffel bag. What parts/tools/books do you bring with you? Pretend worse case scenario and distant is infinity.

FSM
Crescent wrench
Combination wrenches 9MM-17MM????
Screwdrivers
Hammer
Duct Tape
Zip Ties
Belts???
Spark Plugs????

And how much beer do you bring, since repairs seem to be measured in number of beers drank during the repair for this club?

Thanks

Depends on the 40 and how far

When I got my first 40 I drove it from Three Rivers, Michigan to Buffalo, NY. Long assed drive in the winter and had maybe a leatherman, but the 40 I got was mechanically sound and I wasn't particularly worried about breaking down.

AAA is also a good investment

x2 on AAA, but make sure to get the higher-level coverage that has 100 or more miles. I'd wager you have USAA but they have a low cap on distance with their towing coverage.

Add standard wrenches/sockets since you don't know what's been changed.
PB Blaster
WD40 or similar for squeaks if they bother you
Jumper cables
Oil
Small gas can in case the gauge lies to you
Ass-less leather chaps and a picture of Bea Arthur arm wrestling Mothra. Their purpose will be obvious when the time comes.

John is he traveling thru wv? Why the ass less chaps? Or do u have a fettish and just want to see a man in ass less chaps driving a 40?

Southwest Virginia - same difference, but they can come in handy anywhere. As needed only, though.

Uhm...I mite be a little too techie but Id check wireless coverage and the ability to recharge my phone in a 40..why?

Real time help on mud...just in case.

A tow rig and trailer, figure the rig out at home.

Takes all the fun out of a road trip man....

Guess it all depends on your defenition of fun. Working on an unknown rig on the side of the road at the mercy of local suppliers, not fun. Figuring out a rig in the comfort of my own shop with tools and known suppliers, climate control, and a fridge, priceless.

Had I driven mine home as I wanted- it would've caught on fire. I consider that no fun at all.
