Spare parts to carry?
I am slowly making an inventory on parts to carry on an up coming Karijini/Coral bay/Exmouth trip later this year. There will be some corrugations, and little water crossings.
What are things you would carry?
1x Front wheel bearing and hub kit
1x Rear wheel bearing only.
1x Front Shock Absorber
1x Rear Shock Absorber
CV's? Probably less crucial? as their more of annoying rather than complete failure?
What else?
Looking at either a wreak from a later year or new from US(looking reasonable).
Being the only Jeep in my circle of mates, kinda sucks not able to share parts. The rest have Disco's and they have access to Landrovers Spare's box for long travels provided they put some bond, and return if unused.

We have done that trip 3 or 4 times towing a 2+ tonne van and towing with an AWD Territory petrol/gas. Only ever carried some spare oil which I never ever used and my toolkit with all the appropriate tools to cover any contingency.
I will be doing it again this year with a MY14 GC diesel and will carry the same though include oil, air and fuel filters and gear to do a full oil change.
We basically stick to the bitumen with a bit of track work but no proper 4WD rough stuff.
Maybe I will be disappointed I didn't carry more????

Forgot to mention and an extra spare tyre.
We have 4 families going so theres a bit of load being camping. Decided on a caged trailer which we'll share towing.

Did that trip a few years back in a KJ, did one tyre and a windscreen. Would carry an air filter unless you have a snorkel fitted.

Done that trip 4 times now 2 x with Pajero, 2 x with the WK2, didn't bother with any spares. Little corrugated trails to be concerned about, mainly within the Karijini park itself.
Make sure you get it serviced before you leave and should be all good. Only worry about dust if you plan on sitting up the arse of your mates on the dirt roads otherwise should be fine.

Take an OBD2 dongle and have a code reader app set up on your mobile phone.

Barboots is right, I have always had that, in the Territory it was plugged in permanently. I did the same with the Jeep at first until it started to throw up problems on the dash screen. Cost me almost $500 at an east coast Jeep place to find out the GC did not like the OBD2 screen/reader plugged in all the time.I now just carry it.
