    True. You start small, with essentials, then keep adding to it to your satisfaction.

    I hear you Sir, besides carrying most of the tools and supplies already mentioned, I also carry an extra set of engine belts and a spare alternator not that hard to replace on a N14 .

    12 ft of 2 inch strap
    You blow a trailer tire, the mud flap bar gets pulled into the tires but you need to move the truck
    Slide the tandems all the way back, tie the strap to the dot bumper and the flap bar.
    Slide the tandems forward
    Walla!
    Bar is straight
    I've done it more than once to get a mile to a safer spot or truckstop if my clock was low.
     
    Final Drive and Lepton1 Thank this.
