While I'm here waiting I'm gonna put up a couple clips on YT with my wreck and overheating brakes. I also realized I haven't yet posted pics of my wicked car layout, so they're below, and I'm also editing them into the OP.
My command center. The see-through box is any stuff I might need on hand: pocket knife, masks, chargers, battery packs, GoPro stuff, speakers, headphones, wallets.
So I modified the cargo net from the hatch to function in the back seat. It's hooked into the child seat hooks behind the seat and the lower seat belt rail (for those 4dr owners, it's a rail that 2dr seat belts slide on to make back seat access easier. Look where my shoes are in the bottom of the above pic). The paracord tied to the seat belt rail has 3 different loops on it so I can tighten the load down for tight roads - the reason there's other settings is this puts strain on the net and I don't want to break it.
That tote is packed solid with emergency equipment. I have some pics below. Blanket covers the stove because it won't stop fucking rattling. 5 gallon water container; I take the melted I've from my cooler and drain it into this, then I use my MSR filter to pump into my water bottles. There's a tool kit behind the container, pics below. This is also where I'm keeping the parts that fall off my car and the spoiler extension I bought on the way. Ratchet straps to tether everything down.
All the tools I'm bringing. I legitimately can't think of what I couldn't fix. I have nearly every tool I used in removing my engine, though I parsed down the sizings:
Everything that didn't fit in this tackle box went in my tool bag.
My emergency kit. This was first revision, I took things out and put things in. Coolant started leaking everywhere, plus I put OEM coolant in before the trip, so it's out. Note the subtle curve to my breaker bar, from bashing it off the fucking ground when I couldn't get my calipers loose.
This is what's under my load floor. All this for in without any modification, except for in the top left with my breaker bar. You can see one torque wrench, which is the one I need for anything over 100ft-lbs. Not pictured is my digital torque wrench for things below that. Impact gun + 2 5.0amp batteries. A bunch of plastic bags tucked behind the wheel (which is inflated and inspected).

- 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19mm in everything (I broke those cheap HF wrenches after this pic and replaced them with an Icon set).
- T20, 25, 30 for sockets and T-handles, plus T40 for sockets (A/C).
- 4, 4.5, 5, and 6mm Allen keys, plus the one I need for my plate mount.

when I get my car back, since I have WiFi I'm gonna *try* to get the videos uploaded, but I'm not gonna wait around too long.
) are from when I pulled off the road night 1 and dipped my FR tire into soft ground and got stuck.
