Hood struts are nice and all, but a "must-have"? More of a nicety IMO. Nice to know they're generally easy to install, though.
I know this was posted in the CX-5 General area, but I'm not sure why this is a CX-5 specific topic. I know, "the Lounge is where threads go to die". Hopefully when we move to the new forums, more people will use the Lounge area.
Must-have equipment in my car:
Tire repair kit, portable air compressor, jumper cables (soon to be replaced with a rechargeable battery booster), roadside assistance kit, and two small screwdrivers (standard and Phillips). Because I have aftermarket wheels with aftermarket lug nuts, I also keep a socket wrench, a couple of sockets, and the wheel lock key in the car as well (hidden, of course).
Nice to have equipment:
First-Aid kit, fire extinguisher, AC/DC inverter, portable shovel, flashlight, twine, duct tape, portable battery pack (for cell phones).
In the winter, I usually keep a small bag of ice melt, some play yard sand, and one of the OEM floor mats for instances where I might get stuck in snow.
