Spare Parts for 80 series (1 Viewer)

I love these threads. Ultimately I would just pull a second (running) cruiser behind you.

I don't have a second cruiser though so I carry:
90% of the tools I use every day
2 spare fusible links
Spare efi relay.
Spare ignitor
Belts.
Various coolant hoses.
Oem starter rebuild kit
Emergency brake hose screw thingy from wits end.
A complete knuckle rebuild set
Steering arm nuts

Hard wheeling trips I bring a driveshaft and both front axles with cvs .
All that and the most likely scenario will be I break something that I'm not carrying
so..

A sleeping bag and an empty credit card.

Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting

Empty credit cards are definitely coming with me appreciate the response!

If you are by yourself, you really shouldn’t be breaking anything in Moab because you really shouldn’t be doing anything by yourself that would break stuff.

I always carry a full complement of spare axle shafts, front outer seals for a birf replacement, spare rear driveshaft, and all of my tools. Some fluids, the fusible link spare is kinda the thing. That stuff is just with me whether I am at the mall or in Moab.

Suspect if you took a poll for the statistical incidence of just breaking down during the extremely low miles you are actually off-road, that event risk would be serviceably close to 0%. Unless you include FJ40s or ARB lockers in which case it would be 100%.

It’s planning for your own stupidity over being unlucky - the unlucky bit is why you wheel with a group. Not driving FJ40s or using ARBs because you actually want to have fun is something each of us can decide.

I have a high mileage rig but don’t carry much with me as I have kept up with maintenance and replacing old components.

I carry a set of tools in a bag, spare birf, fusible link, heater valve, co2 tank, tire repair stuff, duct tape, zip ties, rags, wire and misc nuts and bolts. I may add or subtract to this list depending on where I am going. Usually the stuff that helps me remove the broken part and allows me to limp home or off the trail for a tow.

Additionally, I always keep my drawer stocked with a bottle of whiskey just in case.

I noticed a couple of you carry birfs without axle. Does anyone break axles ? Or am I the only one?

I would but I don’t have a spare.

i bought a cheap aftermarket set of fronts from rock auto just to use as spares. they were about $150 for both. I wouldn't use them as an actual replacement but figured they'd get me home.

Successful trip! Thank you for all the suggestions! No trail repairs for the 80, but a couple for the jeeps and taco lol
