What spare parts do you carry?
 

Have a jku diesel. Interested to know what spare parts I should carry? What has proved useful to you guys in the past?

There's a CRD Facebook page..... so that might be a productive place to ask as well.

As with all social media you need to filter the responses.... every group has its keyboard "experts".

I find an extra wallet full of money helps a lot! :p

Unless you camp out in the supercheapauto carpark. There's no places to spend it when your out in the country :)

haha true,

I think the parts people carry would depend on what type of trip they're doing / distance / how remote

Not specific to Wranglers, but any trip I take in any car I have I always carry a small toolbox.

Usually just have the basics, fuses, relays, screwdrivers, ring spanner set, hammer, some electrical wire, duct tape, tie wire, cable ties, pliers, leatherman etc Torx bits too.

I also keep the old fan belt in the car when I've done a belt replacement, and sometimes even the radiator hoses, though I have no spares for the Wrangler yet as I haven't changed them.

If its an Auto then a set of jumper leads may be a good idea too.

Recovery gear is always a must of course too.

You can get a bit carried away with how many spares and tools to bring, it would depend how far out you plan to go. Carry enough for a basic job, like a fan belt replacement, but you're not exactly going to rebuild the engine out there.

Tyre plugs and patches for the sidewall (if you take tyre pliers)
That epoxy metal putty (life saver!)
Basic tools

Water

Hand cleaner
Spare tyre (that thing that goes on the back)

Sure there is more for the list, just a quick off the top of the head list. For the hard parts though, you learn what you need based on what you have commonly broken and if you think about the design of the vehicle you can eliminate things you don't need (for example break a rear driveshaft, pull it and drive out on the front, break the front, pull it and drive out on the rear).
