Default Which essential GC parts should I stock before WW3

Yes, an attention grabbing thread but I seriously want to stock up on some spares in case all turns to crap and parts start to get really hard to come by in the near future.
I assume there are still plenty of things like filters etc that are made in China. So seeing as the world is going sanction crazy, what parts would you keep for your baby to keep her running smoothly?

I think fuel will still be available …… for a price of course.
But parts, I’m not so sure.

I'd be going for just filters, if it hits the fan big time you won't be driving much, I know ammo is in short supply already as the Yanks stock up so parts might be getting the same already....
If you start to make a doomsday list it will get very big in a short time, I would just keep 2 services worth of filters on the shelf........... but to date we have shown that as China closes things up we find other markets for our exports and imports.... filters come from Japan, Korea, Indonesia so not all China....

Since my bunker is full of ammo, guns, bottled water and cans of creamed corn, there's no room for car parts.

Because EMF will render electronics useless I don't see the point.

My take is Jeep would virtually go into mothballs. As well as parts shortages fuel could become scarce or rationed and even more unaffordable.
I recently converted my bike to electric using a kit, amazing result. That would get me around if there's still something to plug it into...
