Of course you mean *blinker* fluid (and it's usually in the same aisle as the prop wash).

In my experience prop wash is always on the shelf next to the rolls of flight line.

That is always in my daily carry bag....but I have to remember to recharge it after lending it out to everyone and their mother when their phones die.

**Updates in bold so people don't have to read all the comments**

I recently purchased a JLU Sport after going a decade since owning my first Jeep TJ in college. During college I found every chance I could to get muddy or go down any “not-a-road” I could find, but I never fully immersed myself into off-roading.

Now I am looking to get into some mild”ish” off-reading in the woods across the Midwest, going a handful of times each year (career+kids=limited time). I just joined a local Jeep club and plan to attend a Jeeping 101 full-day course they are putting on in April.

Below is the list I have put together so far for my “starter kit” to keep in the Jeep for all off-roading trips. Any clarifications, removals, or additions you seasoned Jeepers recommend?

Must Haves:

• Recovery/Snatch Strap (and a Tow strap?)
• Tree Saver
• Snatch Block
• 2 Soft Shackles + 2 Steel Shcakles
  
• Lug Wrench
• Fire Extinguisher
• First Aid Kid
• Flashlight
• Basic Tool Kit
• Tire Pressure Gauge
• Battery Jump Starter / Jumper Cables
• Paper Towels
• Toilet Paper

Also below are my current thoughts on the build out for my first mods. Any and all feedback is welcome to relieve me of my ignorance.

First Mods: (Jeep is a daily commuter >70 miles a day - so I do not plan on any lift or bigger tires just yet)

• CB Radio (mounted)
  • I already own the radio from the old Jeep, just need to get a mounting bracket and new antenna that I plan to put on the back spare-tire bracket.
• Steel Bumper (I like the look of the mopar but dang it is expensive comparatively)
  • Winch (no idea yet of the specifics)
  • Grille/Winch Guard Hoop (nothing too big)
  • 2 Aux LED Lights (simple circle led lights)
• Air Compressor (mounted?)
  • Air Down Tool

Additional Optional Equipment:

• Blinker/Headlight Fluid
• Muffler Bearings
• Left-Handed Monkey Wrench
• Elbow Grease

You forgot a Skyhook.

I'm the manufacturer and I'm giving a 50% discount to forum members. DM me if you want to take advantage of $49.99 per gallon price.
