I have one more little thing to add, consider going to Harbor Freight and getting yourself one of those silver tire inflators with the coiled yellow hose. I have a suburban and I caught a nail on 95 coming back from Disney world, on the driver side rear tire, and my TPMS warning signal came on. I can hear the tire hissing. I put the compressor on and blew it up to 40 and then hustled to my next exit and stopped on a flat surface which I think was a gas station parking lot. If you're handy, these are definitely the things you want to carry. Slip-on suit gloves, a small prescription bottle filled with Gojo, a quart of water & towels, an impact wrench 3/8 paddle bit for lowering your spare tire, the proper lug socket, a piece of flat wood about 18 inches by 18 inches. I have actually made all of my kids who are in their 20's, go out and change the tires on their car two or three times in the driveway for practice. It was 104 degrees last week, and AAA told me they are very busy it would be about an hour and a half for a simple Tire change service. I said screw that and did it myself. Unless you had a catastrophic tire failure, that mini compressor is an awesome way to keep blowing up your tire and getting you down the road until you can get to an exit, or a very very wide pullover Lane. If people are stupid enough to drive into the back of a state police vehicle on the side of the road, what do you think they will do to you when you're trying to change a tire and your 3 inches away from the right lane? Now if you have a pull off plus 10 or 15 ft of grass, good luck trying to Jack car up if it's on the passenger side and it's on the grass and you don't have that wood.

I have that exact Denali except for my towing mirrors and pinstripe. Best repair video I have ever seen. I look forward to seeing more in your series.

[@notsofast2325]

thank you !

Another slightly cheaper alternative is, if you have a 150 watt inverter or something close to that, you can connect it to the DC outlet or clamp it to your battery and just use an electric drill to quickly take off your lugs and put them back on, and you can still use a breaker bar to break the lug and cinch the lug down. If you fail to plan you plan to fail

I also carry the following additional saftey and jack "helpers": 1) camping ground-pad to place on ground if as a softer surface for me to work on. Knee pads. 2" x 8" x 17" boards (because that was a size I already had cut) to place my scissors jack on to give it greater stability, esp on dirt. Leather work gloves. A 12-ton hydraulic jack (just because I had that before I bought the 3-ton scissors jack). I keep baby-wipes in the car for cleaning my hands afterwards. I also bought heavy rubber chocks at Walmart because the chocks that came with the car are identical to the ones you have which appear to be best for hard ground, because they have "teeth" on the ground side. I like the triangular, heavy rubber chocks for concrete.

Ladies and Gentlemen please do yourself a favor and carry a 20 volt or 18 volt impact drill.. the correct impact socket for your lug... a 3/8 paddle bit. T50 torx bit.. with these things you will be able to remove and install in half the time.. also consider a pair of pants and a shirt or one of those auto mechanic suits you slip in and zip up from the zipper to the neck.. have a couple pair of surgical gloves in a bag and a 12 inch square piece of wood as a base for your jack.. two other quick points. Make sure your spare tire is not 10 years old and check the pressure every couple of months.. if you have one of these SUVs with the drop-down spare you want to drop the spare and raise it back up a couple of times so you have the practice and while it's down, you can lubricate all the workings of the spare tire winch. Don't find out at 2 a.m. on some Mountainside that your spare tire won't drop down because it's rusted.. and lastly maybe carry yourself a little bottle of auto mechanic hand soap cleaner like orange with the gritty stuff inside and a bottle of water to wash your hands.. if you fail to plan you plan to fail

One last thing, as all of my hamsters are now running in the same direction in my head LOL please please check your tires and especially your spare tire to make sure the dot date is less than 10 years old. If you are in an accident involving injuries most investigators will check the condition of your tires and the dot date as part of establishing liability and cause of accident. Now this probably involves things such as condition of your tread because you slid or the tire exploded or something like that but it also leads them to want to see the date and look at the dry rot on the side of the tire and things of that nature. Again this mainly deals with bad accidents not just because you need to get towed or you need a tire change. Bottom line is, when an investigator is establishing fault and the parameters and conditions that participated in the accident they will go to the tires as well as the driving data that is stored in the computer of your car. This establishes braking, & speed.. have a good day

Those aren't wheel chocks. They're for support of the jack to release the safety latch on the spare tire. Read the owners manual.

What if you get a flat tire in dirt?

[@notsofast2325]

You would have to Mc"Gyver it. If your worried about that i would carry a flat piece of 3/4 plywood.
