Spare Parts on Trail

Anyone carrying extra bolts, etc on the trail? I typically carry some maintenance type items (fluids, etc.), but not bolts or anything like that. Curious what everyone else is carrying and how you decide what sizes to take if you are.

 

zip ties. that's it. and a blow torch.

 

Yeah I carry a bunch of zip ties and a drill. Torch could be handy though.

 

If you wheel with enough gear heads you don’t have to take anything

 

oh your "that" guy. jkjk I kiddin

 

I have several different bolt sizes but have never used them. I usually carry extra, CV, u-bolts,u-joint, inner/outer tie rods and hubs. For everything else I have zip ties, duck tape and a bfh.

 

Water, oil, brake fluid, + a spare belt and the diagram of how it goes on.

 

Add bailing wire to that list.

 

@Spare Parts .....

Watcha carrying?

 

I believe THE most impotent thing to carry is a spare belt and tools to change it....and belt diagram..!!!!

Without it, you is NOT going very far..! Good luck getting a flatbed 4x4 Tow truck in the bush.

 

A 24 pack should get you through any issues you may encounter

 

Well I do have a winch w/front semi hidden bumper, hi lift jack, shovel, axe, jumper cables, oversized battery, recovery rope, shackle. But no truck parts, so I can always barter!

 

This, plus duct tape, hose clamps, a piece of rubber sheet or old hose, wire and zip ties.

 

Any idea how much a spare belt is worth when you are 50 miles into the bush, (by 4x4) moose hunting and a branch gets up in there and rips the serpentine belt.....You go nowhere.!!

You may not see anyone for a week.....let alone a 4x4 flat bed tow truck.... Cannot over rate it's importance, in the "boonies"...

 

I was told that if I bought a Toyota, I would never need spare parts.
Just gas-n-go.

 

Usually a extra lighter. Maybe a gallon or two of water. Depending on what state a extra glass piece, does that count?

 

If your in a no-go state, just tell the fuzz it's a kazoo for the scoop intake

Missed you on the trip pal! You'll have to make the next one. It was tons of fun.

 

I so need to get out with you folks, I was pissed that it didn't work out. I told my wife and family, I am going to make one of these happen soon, no matter what is up.

Speaking of which, I am going to be vermont at least on Sunday of Columbus day weekend. As it gets closer I may be looking for some directions to increase enjoyment of the drive.

 

What part?

 

And for those of you not in the know. Our last trip
