As a new owner of a lc100, I was wondering if there are any parts you guys buy but do not need? Saving it for down the road as a replacement since these are 20 plus years old.
Thanks!
 
Interior finish parts seem to go NLA the fastest. I have a sticky FBM and ebay search and occasionally buy parts that pop up.
 
I have f&r eaton electronic locking diffs and t-case underdrive gears that I haven't installed yet lol. life always gets in the way. They're not critical but key equipment enhancements as I would call them.
I have spare ignition plugs (used but known-good) and new set of spark plugs, oil filters, crush washers and that's it. 99% of our parts are readily available online through different sellers.
 
I've picked up steering rack, FDS x2, and all the parts for a complete. while you are in there, timing belt job.
Steering rack was leaking a bit last year, but I added AT-205 and it stopped, so that's delayed. Timing belt is due in 2000 miles, but I will definately push that off as long as think I can get away with.
One of my boots was leaking a bit so I used that for justifying my purchase of the FDS.
I would like to order a brake master to have on the shelf, but its a bit of a hit, even catching a 25% off sale - however it will be a lot more if it fails and I don't have one. 400000 km soon, so its frequently on my mind.
