Trip planning- emergency spare parts-

[Johnny O]

Pull the front CVs if they go bad and then install good NAPA remanned ones when you get home
Have had to do that to some friends on a couple of wheeling trips
Rear most that could normally happen is a UJoint which I carry a spare daily

Reputable source for the U joint?

I’m considering replacing both front CVs before the big excursion as previous owners have proven to be questionable with maintenance and I’ll be well over 180k miles before then.

At over 4.5 inches of lift my left CV lasted over 190,000 miles , finally had to remove the OE one
But it maybe a good idea if making noises

No noise yet. Worst case I can leave spares at home and have Wifey express them to me.

I dislike handguns. I have my trusty tomahawk and a Benjamin Bulldog.
