Who carries a jack and tire plug kit in the trunk?
If you do, please share as to which brand/type of jack you're carrying in the trunk. I'm looking for ideas in case of a flat while traveling.

I carry a tire plug kit and a small air compressor in the car, but do not have a jack in there yet. Some here have used a small jack made by Mercedes and it works well while others have found small scissors type jacks to carry in the car. Will be watching this thread to see what responses you get.

The oem plug in tire pump along with a patch kit. Don't like the idea of filling my tire up with that goo stuff and about 4 months ago I got a 3" nail in the rear passenger tire so it was def needed.

I carry a plug kit with me if I am going on a long haul with the car. I've taken it from Jersey to Florida three times already and have had one flat along the way. The time that I did get a puncture, I was lucky.
My tire pressure sensor went off that my pressure was 25 psi so I turned off at the next exit that was maybe (the longest ) ten minutes. There happened to be a small store that had gas and inside I purchased a plug kit. Went out to the car, got the screw pointing to the rear, pulled it, plugged it and was on my way... I try to remember to keep one in the car - it's in there about 50% of the time.

I carry 1/2 that
Small air compressor, tire slime and plugs. When I bought my 02 Z06 that part wasn't there so I made my own kit.
Don't have a jack...but I don't have a spare either. A jack is great but either way you have to go get rescued if you need a tire!
My jack = wife's AAA
