Interesting point here.

For a day trip, what spares do you carry?
For a weekend what spares do you carry?

What things would you like to take, but theres just no room?

Spare brake fluid would be good... but you take everything you need your whole garage and it wont all fit :(

I always carry spare belts, brake fluid and clamp, oil to top up in case + cable ties, gaffa tape and wd40 and the toolkit + the usual array of fuses and screws / bolts etc.

I dont own a qg (mq instead), i carry spare CV's, front hubs, belts, u bolts and a full tool kit

where do you get a brakeline clamp or can i bodge something? do you clamp the metal bit or hose?

if the line breaks, you can use a bolt and hoseclamp.. or vice grips...

got hoses , oil,, brake fluid , belts , tools and some sort of idea how to fix most minor hick-ups on ma travels !!!! all the tools in the world aint no good if u dont have any idea how things work or know how to troubleshoot minor problems

cv's and inner axle seals.

Imagine driving a Toyota everywhere and having to carry spare diffs and shlt. F that. Pair of plyers have got me out of the shlt so far.

A spare fridge for the Beer just in case oh and spare undies for the Navi. HeHeHe

Well I currently have a brand spanker spare tailshaft bolted in behind the front seats .........................long story


otha than that just the usual tools a bag of bolts,tie wire ,cable ties (QLD talk ZIP TIES aka 83lux )......................

always carry spare CVs with me 2 to be exact ...
tools rags and tarp zipties and gaffa tape
anything else broken some one else can go for a drive for me and pick one up

Hoses and belts. If any thing else goes wrong a temp fix and motor home. Mind you I have spent more times repairing Jeeps and Tojo's on the trail so far.
Long trips, wheel hub bearings, hoses, belts, eletrical stuff, tools, water pump, liquid metal, a couple of welding rods, engine oil and brake fluid. Oh and diff oil now after the Big Red jump, see the link in the signature.

Not much... it's a GQ and they dont break

Lots and lots of tools, but few spares besides water, oil, wire and duct tape, fuses, spare tyre.

GOt spare belts somewhere and sometimes put them in.

do you really go through that many CV/hubs that you need to carry spares?

also, do MQ/MK hubs go very often - how many k's do you usually get out of them?

i usually get 5-6 trips on the CVs in a GQ

Bilby,
The damage on the big red jump was a bent diff at the knuckle, leaking seal on passenger side and the Tough Dog shock lasted antoher six months before it let go.
I still managed to drive all the way from Birdsville to Sydney via Isa, Alice springs, Ayers Rock and the Oodnadatta track with a little detour to Mount Buller for some skiing with the occasional check on the diff oil and a wheel alignment.
