Been putting together my spares for the trail--goal is to get to remote/hard areas of the Sierras, Utah, CO etc and be reasonably confident of getting out. Mix of wheeling and just general reliability (i.e. electrical stuff etc, not just axle/driveline.)
My rig is pretty well baselined, have a few odds and ends but all the major stuff I've hit in the past year or so.
Other threads I reviewed:
what "trail spares" do you carry
What's in the 80 for Rubicon
--and a few others I forgot--
Also big shoutout to @Deathvalleypaul who helped me get a lot of the spares together at a pretty reasonable price.
Here's the list, I've dropped in a lot of part numbers in case other people need to assemble or cross-reference a kit.
LX-450 Trail Spares
Electrical:
Brakes:
Axle:
Driveline:
Cooling:
Specific questions:
Right now this stuff takes up one Pelican 1520 case, plus about 16" of drawer space in one of the rear drawers (axle shafts are tucked behind the quarter panel plastic.) I haven't found a great home for the drag link yet but it can probably live in one of my roof top cases for now.
Cheers.

Specific questions:
- Should I be carrying bearings? I replaced all of my front ones when I redid the knuckle a year ago, but didn't keep the old ones
- Should I be carrying belts? I redid them three months ago as they looked tired.
- Radiator hoses? Also < 1 year old, so was thinking I could probably patch with tape and top off periodically if I did manage to get one cut or something...but curious if there is a failure mode people have seen I'm not thinking of.
- Front driveshaft? I've only ever scratched up my rear one so far but I haven't hit trails as hard as I'm hoping to yet
- Any major failure points in the rear axle I should be ready to deal with "out there"?
- Anything else obvious I'm forgetting? Anything in here that seems totally pointless and overkill?
Right now this stuff takes up one Pelican 1520 case, plus about 16" of drawer space in one of the rear drawers (axle shafts are tucked behind the quarter panel plastic.) I haven't found a great home for the drag link yet but it can probably live in one of my roof top cases for now.
