I'm just an Engineer...but having a basic set of tools, a complete set of spare relays and a Jesus box (anything left over from previous projects-screws, wire, tape, JB Weld) in the boot is basic stuff...

When I worked in the Southwest, the truck toolbox had a spare water pump, alternator, 2 of every belt, hose and relay, fuse plus an assortment of glues, epoxies and shrink tape, air compressor, tire patches and gobs of extra wire. I thought it was overkill until we had 3 flats, a punctured Rad and JB Welded a hole in the differential cover in a 48 hour period.

Figure it this way...if you travel in areas where your choice of help is a guy you wouldn't leave alone with your toaster much less your MB or yourself and a set of tools...the choice is easy!

'Sides I have made many a good friend when I stopped by the side of the road to help a fellow MB or Volvo owner.

Practice random acts of kindness, its amazing what you will get in return.

so now we know why the sun was shining on you,you've been living right.
