For sure on the IR temperature gun!! Every stop I make on the highway gets a scan on each hub!
I never pull my boat without my "trailer tote" in the truck......never! It has everything to fix an issue with a bad hub, bearings, etc.! It has an electric impact wrench, spare bearings, spare hub with bearings, grease gun, grease, two jacks (small and large), hand tools, tire repair kit, rags, Go-Jo, hammers, dust caps, etc., etc. I've had to change hubs along Alligator Alley in the summer when it was just under 1000 degrees, having all the tools makes it much easier!
