Holy crap, that's a lotta stuff. This doesn't count the two full size mounted spares or the two cans of fuel on the roof. Considering pulling the donut spare to store the parts that shouldn't get used in that location. I should plan on some octane booster as well. Premium fuel will be hard to get; at least it was in many Canadian stations in the winter of '04.
