Trail Gear?

[TheFauxFox]

With my runner fast approaching 200k (193,051 right now) I'm looking at doing some basic maintenance.

Oil/Oil Filter
Air Filter
Sparkplugs
New 255/70-R18 AT3Ws

While I'm buying the parts for maintenance I'm also looking at buying little parts I might need on the trail while I'm out (or just everyday for that matter)

Currently since I need CV's (lots of clunking and banging @ low speed turns and braking) I plan on buying 3. Two to install and one to keep with me.

So far the list for extra parts is...
1- Inner Tie Rod End
1- Outer Tie Rod End
1- CV Axle
1- Serpentine Belt
1- Driveshaft U-Joint
1- Radiator Cap
Brake Fluid, Power Steering Fluid, Transmission Fluid, Differential Oil, Engine Oil, Coolant

Any parts specific to the 4th gen you recommend? Tools?

Thanks!

highly recommend this FJ Cruiser Specific : CV Axle Removal Tool | Southeast Overland

best "tool" to carry if you plan to wheel your runner at all. makes pulling a cv axle the easiest thing ever.

I just wedge a crowbar between the lip on the axle and the skid plate. Couple swift kicks usually pops it right out.

Im planning to get a few snatch blocks, synthetic winch line and a 4 or 5 ton come along for self recovery without investing in a winch

The "axle popper" is way better than this rope thing. https://www.amazon.com/OEMTOOLS-273...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=V5X3H1YK5D7M7T5C3HHG

I would be very careful ordering anything from Southeast Overland

Back on track, y'all :horn: I figure most people think what I have listed is sufficient since we're talking about to fix the inevitable broken CV Any other ideas besides various tools to pull CVs?

I don't carry with me ALL the time, but when I'm wheeling a breaker bar with the aluminum handle from my jack along with the proper socket to break said axle bolt. I think some people may forget that is needed. I'm not worried about the end near the diff...I'm worried about breaking that bolt loose.

eh i just carry my big 1/2" 20v max dewalt impact. it can put out more than enough torque to get it off and back on again.
