How to Pack Your Jeep and what Tools for Off Road Trips
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2024
- This time on the AutoEdits channel I have my buddy Joe run you through what he packs in his Jeep to go off roading and how he loads it up... You might remember him from my Rubicon video or from when I stuffed Dynatrac D60 axles under his Jeep and dropped it off at his house and ended up buying the Tahoe.
Leave any questions you might have about the gear in the comments and I'm certain Joe or I can answer them.
ALSO... leave other suggestions as well to help me and other Jeepers make smart packing choices!
If you get a moment to head on over to the AutoEdits Amazon storefront and do some shopping, that would be helpful to the channel. Even if you don't buy from the items there... if you start shopping from there it still helps!

Thanks so much for watching and until next time...
Enjoy your drive!

I see an AutoEdit video, I click like, I watch.
I see an amazing comment like this and I hit the like AND heart button as fast as I can!!! Thanks dude.
Wow my dude is prepared, good for him... and anyone who hits the trails with him 😂
Way to be awesome!
Rule #1.... Take nothing, and just make sure you Wheel with a Guy like Joe ! 🤔😳🤪🍺
HA!
Hey Jason, two quick things:
1. That Element fire extinguisher (while lauded by the folks in Australia) are effective only if there is no wind. I tried rescueing a GM that caught on fire here going up the side of a mountain with one of those and the slight gust of wind made it ineffective due to it being a gas that just blows away. I'm back to regular fire extinguishers now.
2. Tell Joe to keep that tape measure there! Sometimes you don't know if your Toyota Sequoia will fit between that gatekeeper on Steel Pass road in DV and it's nice to measure it with a tape first. (We made the Sequoia fit 🤫)
Otherwise, great video! I love these types of videos and always learn a thing or two seeing what others carry on the trail, like metal zip ties!
This is an awesome comment... Good information for sure!
I also learned about the metal zipties and I also really like the metal epoxy packets!
I do also carry a standard fire extinguisher on the roll bars for wheeling trips, the Element is just the quick grab to start managing the situation until I can get the full one out of the back or someone else brings theirs :-)
@@joeolmsted8867 Ah yeah that's a good strategy. Admittedly, the Element managed to prevent things from going catastrophic until someone showed up with a big boy extinguisher, but if that was all I was carrying, then it would have been a bad day. I hope the tape measure made it back into the bag! :D
@magedef it’s in there because I also used to carry a sawzaw… you never know when you need to cut a bent shock mount :/). I have really skimmed down to the basics for these day trips / Jeep jamborees.
I love what he has done with the pack out stuff!
I once rebuilt a friends jeep alternator using the parts I had from a salvaged one I had.Saved himfrom being towed back to civilization.
thanks for the video, i use a set of those ridgid boxes for my camp gear as well let him know that in that ridgid box for the air tools he can take the liner out in the lid for more space maybe for the air hoses to fit or anything else
Great tip!
Ooh, the Tahoe is going to Tahoe. I'm glad my off the cuff comment inspired you, Jason! I always enjoy your road trips. And with the past year+ we’ve all had a vicarious road trip will be a great change. Hope all goes (went?) well! Now I have to Google bottle jack extensions for my Jeep.
I'll see if Joe can leave a link to that in the comments or let me know to post it. I really dig those as well!
I use the packout boxes on my work van. Never thought about using them to store my off road goodies in my personal rigs.
Right!
Love it. I keep meaning to get organized in my truck too. Very well done
Thanks!
I have the same bottle jack Joe has, also under my back seat. I like how he prepped the added support base. Always learn something new! and indeed that ARB lift is on my hope to have some day list too.
I learned a couple things from Joe's setup as well...lol!
@@AutoEdits awesome!!
Will have to admit, I'm a tool hoarder...several kits in my JK for all occasions 😖
Nice set up. I really need to start carrying necessary fluids.
Geez GOALS!
This made me think about I how i really need to organize my tools . 😂 But definitely taking alot of advice from this 😃
Glad it was helpful!
Very good setup. For the jack , I use few years high lift jack, and since 2 years ( for safety) I change for the Pro Eagle 2 Ton. I travel 95% alone. And with the high lift is very easy to have bad days... the Pro Eagle are very safe and so easy to use .... the only down side is like your new jack ... very expensive
For my bed truck (Tacoma) and for the cab ( seat deleted) I use Milwaukee packout to. Great system. Have 3 base plate in bed and 1 base plate in cab. Very fun you can easy mix the set up .. and like you said , if you don't need... just leave in garage.
Nice! I was wondering this the other day.
Hope you enjoyed it!
all the electrical wire coming out of that panel needs to be in metal conduit. no permits needed for that install haha, good vid.
Thanks dude... yeah he had his brother do that electrical... family discount...lol
It is SC county after all..
We need some videos of Joes rig out on the trail!! Great video again 🤙🏽
For sure!!
I am honestly surprised that the Milwaukee pack out hasn’t caught on more in the camping/over landing world.
It's a solid setup... overlanders seem to like "name brand" stuff in that world better 😂
You and Joe should do Rubicon trip together again but both in your own jeeps! Great video as usual!!
That would be cool! I almost made the Big Bear trip coming up but I'll try to hit the trails with him at some point.
At working watching this Jason.
Don't get into trouble!!! BUT THANKS for the support!
I like these types of videos. I'm always nervous i'm not going to have something.
Right!
I love the organization stuff....I have a ton of tool bags and nothing makes sense🤦♂️
That's how my gear is and thought to really highlight Joe's system being so good LOL
@@AutoEdits that’s why you are awesome! 😎😎
BRO... WTF JOE? I'm so glad My Lady met ME before she met YOU. Because of three is one thing My Baby loves more than ME is organization
😂
Santa Cruz has the most screwed up zigzag streets I’ve ever driven on. The best giant strawberries from Watsonville though.
Wow. Now I know which guy should I travel to when the apocalypse happens.
So true!
Great video! What slides are you using in the back of the Jeep?
Always good to see how other people are packing their gear to learn some new. Heading up to Tahoe in your Tahoe? I just came back from there yesterday.....Have fun.
There was a crazy blizzard that chased me out!
@@AutoEdits That must've been Sunday. We drove up on Monday and was still snowing a little at higher elevation.
Almost need those ton axles to carry all that stuff, lol
I load up even more than this sometimes just way more dis-organized...lol
@@AutoEdits I pull a wedge drop, so I've been looking for axle upgrades... Ordered the ultimate 44/4.88 after watching your video.. and sometime this month I'll be ordering a ultimate 60/4.88 for the rear using the GameStop Stonk money.. what a payout..lol
Awesome to hear this... cool about the gamstop thing! Wait a moment for when Dana/Spicer release their D60 rear with JK outers so you don't have to change to 8 lug wheels. They said spring of this year and it is about that time!
@@AutoEdits I'm changing the front knuckles on the ultimate 44 so I can use locking hubs.. Ideally I would settle for a Chevy 6 on 5.5 pattern and stick with semi float on the rear... Reid racing discontinued the knuckles I'm looking for, so I'm searching and researching if wrecking yards will produce fruit...Either way I have to get new wheels :-(. The knuckles are going to be the wrinkle , but I want locking hubs the way it should have come from the factory in Toledo
wow thats a lot of stuff
Yes it is.
Nice set up! It amazes me the people that wheel and never take the first thing! Last weekend I was with a group of 9 jeeps, the biggest built jeep on One 1tons and 42 blew the oil sending line. NOT ONE person had any oil with them......I had 2 gallons. Where did you get the sliders?
Those are AMP research electric steps.
there's prepard, and then there's this guy, wow. Very nice.
question, who makes those sliders?
Those are dometic sliders. I have one for the same fridge in my jeep. Very low profile
Great video that served as an ASMR for my OCD. Do you know what slider system that is? Thanks!
HA! I'll check with Joe on what that is and let you know!
I was wondering about the sliding system too
They are ICECO slide mounts (made for the fridge, but repurposed brilliantly for the pack out bins)
I searched this video because I’m building a system using Milwaukee packout cases. I would like some info on those sliders please. Thanks
Where did he get the bed slider for the packouts??
My go to tool is my phone. Gets me out of trouble every time.
Truth
this is a lot of gear. him and his wheeling partners ALWAYS gonna get their rigs home.
Truth!
Nothing worse that having to leave your rig on a trail... Unfortunately, I've seen them parted out when left. So getting back to the parking lot is critical. I've had to do it a few times.
what kind of cooler or fridge is that ?
I was wondering where he got the accessories for the bottle jack or at least the brand names so I can find them myself, I already have a bottle jacks but cannot find the accessories unless I buy the bottle jack that comes with it, also that cool base plate for the ARB Jack and the bottle jack
safejacks.com/collections/bottle-jack-accessories/products/3-piece-starter-kit
i've got the safejack system also. it's pretty killer! the stock jack just doesn't really work anymore out on the trail with any sort of a lift/big tire combo. it's a really nice, well thought out kit. albeit it, HEAVY. BUT, you don't need a hi-lift anymore... *other* than for 'street cred'! LOL
I gather there isn’t room for the wife (purposely) jk. You can never be too prepared. Awesome setup. Hey when is the video for the Tesla lift kit coming up? 😀
Oh... man that is a crazy good idea...LOL!
I have been looking for bottle jack extensions, can't find them anywhere. Any help?

How did you do that yo your face with a "regular jack"? What kind of jack is that? I've never heard of that outside of a high-lift/farm jack?
Could you ask Joe where he got those slid-outs? I'd love to throw a set of them on my TJ.
I'll ask him!
I purchased them with the Black Forest 31L Fridge a few years ago. Came as a black friday deal on Quadratec I believe. I found the packing list from Quadratec, the slid-outs were part number 5012269
Thanks guys!
@@joeolmsted8867 I have same fridge with dometic slider and love it. So low profile it fits under my jeep back bone. Great product
Seems like he has it figured out on what to carry . I carry a lot of what he mentioned . Do you know where he bought the extensions for his bottle jack? I would like to purchase them for my bottle jack that I carry . Until next time take care and be safe Jason .
I'll see about getting the jack info... thanks so much!
You can find those extensions on the safe jack website. Should be able to purchase separately.
Thanks for this!
@@pablodelarosa4201 Thank you very much for the info Pablo . I will check them out for sure.
Anyone know what kind of drawer system he’s using?
Can you post a link to the foam website. I can't quite make out what the name is on the video. Thanks!
Kaizen foam is what the caption said at bottom
Why does everything look new?
Did you think about ordering your BRONCO.
I did, I love the Bronco but my bank account doesn't agree LOL
@@AutoEdits I purchased and saved for at the time for a new 2016 jeep wrangler for my retirement. Had a new 1979 Cj5 back than.The Bronco looks fantastic but the jeep is my Keeper for ever.I was messing with you love your channel long time fan for life .Subscriber.
Who is Joe and how do I go wheeling with him! I live in that area.
He'll comment here when he gets a chance to watch!
@@AutoEdits Wow, I can’t believe you actually replied! To be honest I have watched every JKU video multiple times. I love you’re channel and you’re content. I enjoy how you mix it up and this video is a great example! You your JK build have been a major inspiration for me and my 2017 JKU. Metalcloak is the business and I love that they are out of Sac. I am definitely interested in hitting the trails more and would be honored if I get to wheel with you one day! Enjoy Tahoe in the Tahoe and say hi to Pinto for me!
If I'm here and see a comment, I generally reply! Never know when we might catch up on a trail... my goal is to get out much more now!
Soooo....Joe is obviously quite mechanical. Why did he have you do his one tons?
We were supposed to do the swap together at my house but Covid happened.
Ahhhh...tough to social distance when you’re face-to-face in a wheel well.
Where is the Tahoe bro
It's right there.
As a Jeep guy, please tell me he didn't call his a car :(
Are you sure you're really upset about this?
