Some stuff is worth keeping on the shelf. For me what makes the list are small parts that could shut down work if needed (oil drain gasket), or stuff that is cheap and might make work easier if we had a handful sitting around to be used when needed (the clips that hold the fender skirts in).
The point here is I don't want work being stopped by some $1.20 part that the dealer has a dozen of, but I don't. I found it worth the investment to stock a bunch of little things just in case they are needed.
Before I get going, I'd like to try and adhere to a format here. Please post the part, if it's not totally clear where it goes attach a pic, if possible the part number, and maybe your reasoning.
Here's my list.. feel free to add yours, just try and explain your reasoning if it's not obvious.
Oil drain gasket. 90430-12031
Super cheap.
Transfer case drain/fill gasket. 90430-18008
Rear axle drain/fill gasket, also front diff fill. 12157-10010
Front diff drain gasket. 90430-24003
Also shown the "lexus IS diff drain plug" which is a great upgrade.. stock part tends to get stuck and is 10mm internal hex. PN for the plug is 90341-24016
Yes I keep a spare drain plug on hand
Transmission fill plug gasket. 90301-15004
