What was your best DIY road side repair?
Here is mine. While traveling at night my alternator belt blew. I was able to get off the highway and into a parking lot. I don't have a toad and there was nothing around me that I could walk to....

My previous trailer was a PUP. One day while enroute home from camping, the passenger-side leaf spring decided it had had enough of bouncing around on our excellent and smooth Kalifornia roads (:R) and broke. I stopped when I was warned of smoke coming from the wheel well. I jacked up the trailer box and, in order to provide clearance between the tire and the wheel well, put a chunk of firewood atop the axle next to the spring mount and secured it with duct tape. A pair of ratchet straps, one to the front of the frame and one to the rear provided enough support to keep the axle in place and allowed me to tow the trailer the final 20 or so miles home. Speed was kept to 45mph for safety.
