Everyone is different. Common stuff is a starter, battery, power panel, glow lighter, fuel, tools, extra plugs and stuff like that. Then there are the extras like fast chargers, bat checkers, extra parts, paintball guns, paint balls

and stuff you want. Don't forget the slurpee and junk food. You may be there for a while.
Some boxes are better than others. I have used quite a few over the years. Make sure you don't get it too big, it is a pain to get around. I use the Goldberg box now. It seems to work the best. I keep the trans in a case that I got at walmart for $10. It is metal, foam around it with room for tools separately. Works well and protects things.
