Samling: AC14 Smugglers Box Road Kit®

This kit has stirred up a lot of interest and we have received a number of questions about the components. Here is detailed information with rankings.

Stow Bag - 5/5
Porsche Motorsport

We loved it that this bag was the perfect size.

Emergency Lighting - 5/5
Stonepoint LED Lighting Pucks

These are replacing the old fashioned awkward orange triangles, officially in some countries. BIG improvement and very cool.

Battery Booster - 4/5
Imazing Portable Jump Starter

We liked another one better (NOCO which we sell) but this one is a perfect size. These are rapidly replacing the jumper cables that we have used all our life, a big improvement.

LED Flashlight - 4/5
LED flashlights are pretty much a commodity at this point. We like the size and functionality of this no-name.

First Aid Kit - 5/5
American Red Cross

Easy choice. How are you going to do better than the American Red Cross first aid kit for autos?

Window Breaker - 5/5
This also cuts seat belts. Another commodity item, we just liked this one

Duct Tape - 5/5
Gorilla To-Go Duct Tape

Another commodity, but can you go wrong with Gorilla? Having towed a vintage Airstream trailer we have found this to be one of the valuable items.

Fire Extinguisher - 5/5
Element E50

This is a fascinating one. Number one you need to be sure that you're carrying a "clean" fire extinguisher that doesn't leave a corrosive residue that can cause corrosion. We offer the Halguard H3R for the larger one that most of us carry inside the car. The one n the kit, made by Element in Italy, is legendary for its small size and its big performance. You should really look into this one.

Tow Strap - 5/5
JCHL Nylon Tow Strap.

None of us are eager to tow our Porsches and we spent a lot of time researching what seems to be a commodity. It's important to distinguish between straps rated for towing and straps rated for hauling. Hauling straps are designed to pulling a car out of ditch and are much stronger than towing straps.

Tire Inflator - 4/5
Acpuri Portable Tire Inflator

This is another item that is rapidly becoming a commodity. We selected this one because it has good reviews, a great price, and a perfect size.

Tire Gauge - 3/5
Justtop Digital Tire Gauge

Millions of tire gauges out there. We wanted a digital one at an attractive price.

Fuse Kit - 5/5
Audette Collection Fuse Kit

Did you know that Porsche used the same fuses from 1950-1989?! That company wastes nothing. The important thing is to use ceramic fuses as opposed to the commonly available cheapo plastic ones.

Circuit Tester - 3/5
AstroAl Digital Multimeter

This is an inexpensive one as it will be rarely be used, but it has good reviews. We use a higher quality one in our shop.

Fix-a-Flat
What can you say? I'm not even going to rate this because it's pretty mickey-mouse. But it plugs the hole and allows you to use your tire inflator, and limp to help.
