New Owner And Question On Spare Parts

lots of standard fuses for the box. My drivers seat (30A) blows one regularly!

 

Make sure that you are set up to hanle a small puncture flat if you don't have the spare tire option. Don't rely on the original flat fixer in the can. I'm pretty sure they expire. What I did (maybe a little paranoid), was save the original fix-a-flat stuff in my garage. I then bought a new one for about $10 (the original is over $200!) and put it in the car. I would suggest using that as a last resort because it will make a mess that has to eventually get cleaned up. What I added as well, is a plug kit. The one I added is very easy to use, and it doesn't have any glues to dry out, etc. I never used it, but I saw it in action at a motorcycle show that I went to and it looked like it worked awesome. It's only a temporary fix until it can get fixed properly. Here it is, it's called stop-n-go:

I also got a very small, light weight, pump that plugs into the cigarette lighter, the jack for the battery tender, or with alligator clips. It's really made for motorcycles, that's why I originally bought it, but it works great for a light weight limited use pump. Here it is:

Between those three things (fix-a-flat, plugs, pump), I should be set in case of a flat. The only tire issues that would disable me would be a sidewall slit, blowout, very large hole, or valve stem destroyed. All of those are very uncommon, so I should pretty much be ok.

Also, I recommend having a heavy work type glove available to check the oil. Since the oil is checked with the engine running and the oil at operating temperature, it can get too hot to touch with bare hands.
