Hi everyone. I am new to the forum and new to owing my first scout. Hoping to learn from everyone here and would appreciate your tips/ recommendations on what spare parts you carry when prepping for an extended road trip or going out wheeling. I know you can’t prepare for everything, but trying to get a sense of what everybody has experienced and learned from to be better prepared for next time. Here is what my current rig set up is:

1970 Scout 800A
304 V8 5.0L 4x4
4 speed w/ T-19 transfer case
44 rear 3.73 with Drums and Dana 30 w/ Front Disc
Full CPT 2.5” loft w/ bilstein shocks
D&C Vacuum Break Booster
Power Steering
Old Air Products AC unit
Holley Sniper 2BBL EFI
CPT Gold Tie Rod and Drag Link
Bill Hamilton electronic distributor
Holley HP Billet Fuel Filters 2x
Borgeson Steering Joints

Any help with what you have come across that has been helpful or perhaps what you keep in a box in the rear just in case would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

i always carry a lot i try to be self sufficient. iv only had to work on the scout a few times, most of time i have to work on other peoples stuff. alot of jeep wranglers and alot of ATV's

1. spare tire
2. full set of tools- sockets wrenches, pliers, screw drivers ETC
3. spar ignition module
4. spare U joint
5. spare shackle
6. spare bushing
7. high lift jack
8. spare spark plug and wire
9. extra water and oil
10. spare hoses
11. spare belts
12. nuts and bolts
13. lock out hubs
14. axel shaft
 
I'd say tools #1.

Fuel pump,
fuel filter,
spare ign module for the dist,
Set of belts,
Self amalgating rubber tape for coolant hose repairs,
Qrt of every oil used in the rig (diffs, trans, tcase, engine, steering),
Random selection of hose clamps,
Etc etc etc.



I carry way too much stuff. Moved a bunch of my stuff to my pop up trailer now. (axles, steering pumps, etc)

NATO style Jerry cans. Steel ones are expensive. Heck I know in the US you guys have very dumb Jerry cans. In Canada we can buy the plastic Scepter NATO style 2 for $30-40 at Costco.

Ratchet strap it to the spare inside.

ok good idea, any fumes ? or when the inside gets hot any expansion and leaks ?
 

Or

The original Wavian's (double the cost.)


The plastic Canadian made Scepter ones do swell a bit. But I've never had one pop or leak, I even had one fall off my rig and we turned around and found it on the trail and it didn't break or leak.
