Trip planning- emergency spare parts-

[Johnny O]

As I plan out my 2022 Field season excursions I am putting together a shopping list of emergency spares. One of my mottos is “Plan to Self Rescue”

I have the standard stuff- tire repair, straps, nuts and bolts, bailing wire, hose patches, etc. etc.

Am looking for suggestions of spare parts like a serpentine belt, bushings, various boots and clamps and so on.

Idea isn’t full field repairs, just what would allow me to limp back to civilization.

Ideas and suggestions appreciated!

I would also recommend an Ignition Switch Actuator Pin. They can go bad without warning, but when you do, they leave you stranded. They take up very little space. I believe you need a T-10 security torx to replace it. There are a few videos on how to replace them.

Along with oil(s) as Tom mentioned, don't forget fuses.

I also have various sizes of hose clamps in my Jeep.

A pair of vise grips. They can clamp off a leaking brake hose so you can limp home.

Got a set in the bug and my liberty. Either or could end up as a rescue vehicle for the wife's liberty... Though she swears she's gonna sell hers once spring hits for a down payment on one them Subaru "don't call it a station wagon"

Lol, that’s a standard load out for me, save I have a trauma bag, IFAK, and sutures. It’s the Jeep parts I’m not sure of.

A container of concentrated coolant and a separate container of water. If you carry them in separate containers, you can use the water for other purposes (drinking, etc.). If you actually need 50/50 coolant mix, you can always mix the two liquids at the time of need.
Just remember that the water is subject to freezing if you are going to be out overnight in cold conditions.
I would also suggest a tire valve stem replacement kit that allows replacing the valve stem from outside the wheel (e.g. ColbyValve.com).

Given my low post count, I cannot PM @LabRat or reply to your thread in the "Wanted" section.

Here are some center caps from eBay, these are the ones that use the lug nuts to hold in place (I prefer these) instead of screws from the backside.

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
