pit tools
gregm784:
Bruce is spot on. I carry the same tools pretty much.
Once a year i go thru my trailer tool box and remove duplicates, unneeded stuff. Helps keep the weight down too. :)
I took a simple craftsman 1/2" ratchet, and a piece of 1" DOM and made my turn over bar. It's too long, one day i'll cut it down. it's been 10 years. i'm not rushing into it.

Dean – precision low-pressure measuring device is helpful. Alan

I have two low pressure gauges, verified they read the same thing. I have one high pressure gauge (front tires get checked daily)
dreracecar:
You need 2 tire gages one for the rears and one for the fronts. I carry my low pressure one with me to prevent someone from borrowing it to check their fronts or liners and blowing the needle around.
Since I back up the car, I carry with me, 3/8" wrench for idle adj, a adjust fitting wrench with a dzus driver on the end, and my Kestral weather station. In the back of the tow , there should also be a can of windsheild de-ice to shoot the injector blades when its real humid or cold
noslin:
aweseome, appreciate the input.
i have intercomp 0-30 psi gauge. ill get 0-15. thx Alan for the link.
what kind of air pressure are you guys putting on the front tires.
i ordered off ebay a 24" 1/2" drive ratchet drive; was like 40 bucks. i think same as lowes 1/2" ratchet.
started looking at weather stations, how elaborate does a person need to get? i imagine most tracks has the info accessible with smart phone (general location)? i want to get one, ill look at the kestral.
