What spare parts are usually brought on trail?

[Vdawg1115]

Just wondering what spare parts everyone usually brings with them on trail runs? Like CV shafts, tie rods. That's all I can think of. Anything else recommended?

For the 3, I bring 1 or 2 CVs, axle seals (might as well swap them), tie rods (inner and outer) steering rack or pump bypass (for some events), front propshaft u-joint, serpentine belt

I only carry one front CV shafts for spare parts, but I also bring some heavy duty zip ties, duct tape, a two foot piece of #4 rebar and some bailing wire, which can be used in a pinch to tie things back together to limp back to pavement.

For the H3 I carry a couple of tie rods and a half shaft. For the H1 the list is much longer but that is only because I likely could not find any spare I needed at the local auto parts place.

Depends, on far out you are going and if anyone else is around.
If you want to be independent as much as possible you should pack to be prepared or carry a satellite phone, lol

Rule #1 will always remain though: the part you need is the one you didn't bring.

The OP specifically requested parts that they would bring on a trail run. I assume that means with other trucks. Besides the spare parts be sure to bring whatever tools would be needed to replace the spares you bring. Make sure you have extensions, proper socket/wrench sizes, breaker bar, lock-tite, etc to complete the repairs you brings spares for.

I am still trying to convince my wife to bring hers out on the trail as a spare. She says that she is content to just be a passenger, no matter which vehicle we take.

I never run trails alone, I always take inner and outer tie rods, steering rack, 1 cv shaft, seals, u joints, diff fluid, transfer case fluid, power steering fluid. Fire extinguisher, miscellaneous nuts and bolts, jack and stands.

Great responses everyone. Just want to make sure I have my bases covered being new to this and all.

3Hummers added what I forgot: the particular tools you need, including axle nut socket and open end wrench for the tie rod

Check you axle nut size as there has been some doubt as to what size it really is.

Get a looong breakover handle to use for that. Torque is really high.

I'll vouch for that one! Saved my butt when I broke my rear axle. Though it was the basic plan and was good for 100 mile tow. Per the tow driver's GPS it was 99.8 miles to my dealer! [emoji15] I now have the premium plan good for 200 miles.
