Also a lug wrench, and don't forget a spare tire, or if you have duals you can usually get by removing the flat wheel/tire combo and running a single to get to the shop or home.

I also carry a Hi-Lift jack when the trip may require it, they are quite handy.

Thanks, I was leaning that direction myself. I was going to get an 8 ton bottle jack and carry a couple chunks of railroad tie.
I like that hi-lift jack though, which one did you buy? Can you lift these trucks from their bumpers? I'd think they were too heavy...

Thanks for all the input, it seemed a silly question until I realized I really didn't have a proper tool for the job, and this beast would kill me if it fell on me. I've been working on motorbikes for too long!
