I ordered one from Amazon but it was of poor quality so I returned it and haven't looked back. But they are a good tool to have.A portable jumper pack that can also charge your phone, I now have them in every car instead of jumper cables. They are only $40-$60 on amazon, I have jumped my TJ from totally dead a few times and the charge lasts 6 months to a year in the trunk.
Ultimate preparation vs just winging it.These posts amaze me that driving a Jeep requires more crap than any other vehicle that can break down. I drove 16 hours straight to the Florida Keys on Labor Day weekend and the timing belt snapped on my car on the way home, driving through Miami at 90 mph. I sat in West Palm Beach for 3 days before anyone could fix my car. The moral of the story is have credit cards. Only idiots think they can prepare for the unknown.
I have 4 of these, they were on sale in the $40-$50 range when I got them over the summerI ordered one from Amazon but it was of poor quality so I returned it and haven't looked back. But they are a good tool to have.
Can you please recommend the brand or link you used to purchase yours? Thanks in advance.
I feel ya, man. I personally think my Jeep would drive from NY to FL without a hitch. And I'd only pack butt wipes, gum and an easy peasy day bag full of clothes.These posts amaze me that driving a Jeep requires more crap than any other vehicle that can break down.

thanks for the info on the roadI drove my RV flat towing my TJ in August 2021 to move to Virginia from Anchorage. The ALCAN highway was in the worst condition I've experienced (from driving it twice prior in the past). I've been on off-roading trails in smoother and better conditions than the ALCAN. From what I heard COVID halted road repairs of the ALCAN. The worst part was from Tok, AK to Whitehorse. I actually snapped my flat tow bar in half right at the border (Beaver Creek) and had to detach my TJ and drive to Whitehorse and back with a new tow bar....and that snapped only doing about 40mph max. Once past Whitehorse the roads were a lot better but still not perfect. I would highly recommend a full size spare, extra fluids, tire patch kit, first aid kit, and some survival items if there is a vehicle breakdown. Also not sure if Canada has changed regulations but Americans and outside travelers are not allowed to stop in towns unless its for fuel/food and that's it.
Additionally, not sure if you are traveling with firearms but the Canadian border was way harsher this time around with my firearms than they were the two other times I've crossed in the past so if you have any it might be worth just shipping them to a FFL.
Still gonna be winter through the Yukon so winter tires and extra gas should be part of the plan.mid april
Is that French? Bring the same things you bring on any trip if you want to enjoy it. Sleeping pills for the wife and kids and a good camera to show them what they slept through.
