technically, it's my dad's truck. i just happen to pay for the gas, oil, parts, repairs, and do all the maintenance. so, i don't really want to just throw out "his" sway bar

I know how that is. My Toy is in mine and my mom's name in case i need her to sell it while i am deployed again. It also keeps my insurance really low since it is on there policy since i routinely drive their cars on long trips.

Red face

I carry a extra set of belts and the big hoses of the radiator

if other then that breaks it goes home on the roll back and gets unloaded right into the lawn shed.

Everyday spares: High-lift, full size spare, valve stems and tire plug/patch kit, spare quart of every vehicle fluid, tire pressure gauge, 4-way lug wrench, and a Driveshaft U-joint.

When wheeling, the above plus complete spare rear driveshaft, CV shaft + short side inner, idler arm, centerlink complete with both tie rods, relays, compressed air tank, duct tape, radiator hoses and cap, bungee cords, zip ties, p-steering and alternator belts, driveshaft bolts (I swear they only loosen and fall out if I don't carry spares...) alternator, battery terminal end and cable.

I try to be as self sufficient as possible.

I'd guess I carry almost a hundred and fifty pounds worth of parts into the woods for a weekend trip, but it sure beats making an extra trip out and back to get something i could have easily carried.
