Every once in awhile, I find myself with a couple extra dollars and when shopping online, I look for those little items to complete my order at places like Jegs or Summit..

Today, my cart has lugnuts in them and the total amount is a whopping $33.00... To save the $10 on Shipping and Handling charges, I need to buy another $67.00 worth of stuff..

So the question is.. what are the little things you always need that you never have..??

You could use a GOOD tire pressure gauge

No need to you will get there eventually. Kicking and screaming likely but you WILL get there.

1. carb gaskets or jets
2. Maybe a set of bolts (12 point) to make an intake installation easier.
3. porting supplies
4. extra intake, valve cover or head gaskets for the trailer.
5. wax or cleaning supplies
6. carb track kits come in VERY handy
7. I have been known to run out to see if my belts expire soon.
8. I have a Tupperware box in my trailer I call my "lucky box". I will occasionally buy extra bolts in various sizes for emergency track use.

anytime i see something i could use, I add it to my 'wishlist', then when I need to add small items to the order, I already have stuff picked out.

Recently I have added:
tire pressure gauge
air bleed assortment
spark plugs
car duster

You can never have enough oil or filters IMO.

I don't know if they have good prices on chemicals, but if so
Anti-sieze, brake anti-squeak, RTV, Teflon thread sealer, box of single edge razor blades, shop towels

Spark plugs, tail, dome and dash lights, fuel, oil and air filters, gaskets (trans, engine, diff), brake pads.

If they have a closeout section, I always check that too.
