3rd Gen 4Runner spare parts for the trail

[ShooterMcGavin]

I did some searching and found very little information on what spare parts people carry with them on the trails. Lots of "what tools" threads, but this isn't another one of those. What parts do you make sure to have with you, off-road, specific to the 3rd gen 4Runner?

Also, how do you carry/organize it?

Ok, it doesn't get much better than that! I hope the blue one has some spare CVs and LBJs in the back.

Think about the stuff that breaks the most, or has the potential to break.

UBJ
LBJ
CV
TRE
Rear axle shafts(Proabably not needed, but better safe than sorry.)

If you go through anything other than those parts on the trail, you're straight f*cked, and need a tow truck to get you home.


MAFS
Airfilter
Spark Plugs
Transmission and engile fluids
JB QuikWeld
Tire Patch Kit


Are all awesome things to have, just incase you get into a situation where you hit too much water, or might knock a hole in an oil pan from a rock or branch or something.

Some stuff I have carried in the past, in addition to the stuff above...

-Rear drive shaft in my taco as it was prone to eating rocks
-CV axle shaft (or 2)
-I also carry a set of outer's from CV shafts, I'd blown 2 up so I had 2! In a pinch, I could pull the front CV shafts and insert those in the Hubs to keep the bearings together. I'd be 2wd, but I'd still be rolling!
-Spare set of belts (Alternator and P/S are the only 2 I'd worry about)
-extra hose clamps of different sizes
-JB Weld
-RTV
-Fuses
-some wire and electrical tape

Probably way to much, I never used most of it (probably cause I had it)! Make sure you've got the tools to change out that stuff too! Having spare shafts is great, but if you don't have a 35MM socket to pull the shaft, your screwed!

I just take Richard Dean Anderson along and shit always gets sorted out just fine in the end...

It's a little difficult to separate the spare parts from some of the tools for repair

-CV axle/s*
-LBJs*
-TREs*
-UBJs
-radiator cap
-spare tire/wheel (a given)*
-Silicone rescue tape (Versatile: hose repairs, makeshift belts, wire insulator, grip tape, etc)*
-accessory belts
-jb quik weld (saved my butt on more than one occasion)*
-jb water weld
-spare headlight bulb (in case you're out during the night; also saved my butt before)
-tire patch (plug) kit (with a method to inflate tire, again, saved my butt before)*
-u joints (with tail-d-vise tool) or spare rear driveshaft
-valve stems (yes, I watched someone at OX east use a tire deflator for the 1st time and his valve stem shot out across a field, no it was not me)
-spare shock** (for those running 5100 billies up front with unknown c-clip condition post-installation)
-zip ties
-rtv
-permatex 1 minute gasket maker
-at least 1 qt of atf, motor oil, and gear oil (or full quantities for paranoia)
-water or coolant*

-plug wires
-sparkplugs
-maf
-air filter
-tps
-fuses
-relays

-all the tools needed to R&R above mentioned

-scangauge2 or other computer code scanner for diagnostics
-digital multimeter for further diagnostics

-a repair manual electronically saved on your portable device or a hard paper copy

-smartphone or tablet with an internet connection to get onto t4r forums to post up to date documentation and photos of your traget...I mean misfortune.

*it would behoove you to carry these as barebone minimums
**paranoia

BONUS: if you want to shine above the rest, get a welder setup on your vehicle for those pesky repairs that normally would require a tow truck even with all of the above mentioned items. °Note: it is MANDATORY that you take photos for documentation of the cause, carnage, and repair welds and post them on this forum ASAP if using this method of repair on the trail.

I think once a truck is past a certain amount of miles the most important thing to bring on the trail is a buddy who has his own truck. That way you aren't stranded. Oh and a HAM radio is probably a good idea as well.
