Isn't the rave over 1500 pages?

How big of a binder is it?

I have an Android it came with reader Adobe on it. Plus office reader.
I have Torque app with elm327, Not many tools but fluids for everything.
One tool is a socket that fits hose clamps so if necessary I can replace a hose. I carry some vac hose but that is about it. If I need a hose i go to the nearest parts store and improvise. But it's rare due to keeping up hi mileage maintenance.
Channel locks baling wire duct tape jumper cables,
Plenty of water. a snake bite kit ( yes really) towing straps and a chain. This is mainly when we have hit the road across the US. I have only had 1 breakdown . it was the starter relay. had a Mexican guy in a remote town call dealer in Chihuahua city and he told him how to jump it out till I got another one. This was when it had 40,000 miles on it. I ddn't know as much about it back then.

Funny but I do have a couple of pairs of readers in different places, the glove box and the center console. I also switched to sunglasses with readers in the lower portion so I can clearly see the dash and radio.

Getting old sucks!

I have a very small cheap socket set that has some zip ties and pliers that I keep in the rear door. However I used to carry my craftsmen set in the back just for good measure.

I also keep two jack stands in the back. Most importantly I keep spare jug of coolant and a couple quarts of oil in the back. When your rover starts pissing coolant you're going to need to get it home.

Hmm, that's not a bad idea.

Did you print color or b/w?

How much did it cost?

Which will fit nicely on a flash drive.

Don't think it comes in color.
