Welcome from PA. Have a safe drive back with your new baby!

Well, to be honest, you would need a lot of tools to cover every possible situation, but that would not be feasible to your wallet.Was wondering if anyone have a list of tools they suggest I get once in ohio for the trip?
2 jacks, as one probably doesn't have enough travel to lift the truck high enough to Change a super single.Well, to be honest, you would need a lot of tools to cover every possible situation, but that would not be feasible to your wallet.
What I would suggest is just the tools to take care of your basic breakdown scenarios that you can fix on the side of the road. What I mean, is:
- a decent set of 3/8" and 1/2" sockets with ratchets and a breaker bar
- a set of sockets for the lug nuts and a really long breaker bar for that
- a 12-ton bottle jack (minimum)
- several pieces of 2x6 wood to place under the bottle jack (just in case you are pulled over on the side of the road with soft pack dirt)
- a good assortment of open-end wrenches
- at least 1 flat-head screwdriver and a #2 phillips driver
- multi-meter for any electrical diagnosis
- a BAPB, a big ** pry bar ( rules won't allow me to insert the 2nd word, but you get it)
This would be my basic list, I know it sounds like a lot of stuff, but it really isn't.
There are more tools I would carry for a long trip, but having spares of several items often helps as well.
Your local Harbor Freight would have all this, for not a lot of $$, not the best tools, but okay for a road trip.
But the most important tool you can carry no matter the length of the trip:
1 roll of Toilet Paper, DO NOT forget that!
