question - what is the cost for said items , wont it be cheaper to just buy the tools individually? cause i am not seeing anything special there, other than the fact everything fits into one bag

^ good point, space is not an issue with most trucks and when ppl go offroading they would walk with their equipment, however the survival kit is good for someone who does spontaneous offroading or don't want to leave tools n equipment in their tray for fear of being stolen. Don't mind keeping one in the storage compartment under my rear seats

Anyone can tell you how to drive but to REALLY learn how to drive you need 3 things

1 you need to know YOUR truck sure I can drive anyone's truck but I know how to REALLY drive mine. You need to just get out and do it

2 Practice, Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,
Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice,Practice.

3 know a good shop that understands the above two points and will help you fix your "Practice"

Everything will break no matter make model brand or year, it will break. The trick is knowing how far you can go before you break it and what to do and what not to do. Even with all the gear and built trucks and experience I have, there are still things I won't do because I know the truck won't take it or there is a real danger of injury.

There is always a line know where it is and don't cross it. In the end crossing that line always end the same way.
