    Got back from the cape n all I needed was a wash n fuel, I bought a $20 snorkel sock Uni Filter brand n washed it out each night after setting up camp n man every-1 was amazed just how much dirt was coming out each day even though I was only second car in convoy. they checked theirs after 3 days as they were sitting way too close behind me & had to change their filters n blow them out bout 8 times over 3 weeks & I have gone from Cairns to cape then back to Lismore NSW then on to Bathurst n back n my main filter is still clean with bugger all dust in it. so If I was to buy anything it'd be another snorkel sock as it saved me heaps of fuel n drama's. My average over the 6n abit thousand k's towing 1500kg trailer with 2500kg rig n gear was 13.4ltrs per 100km's. 1997 GQ 2.8td manual Patrol done well I thought.

    Hi,
    something I never see mentioned in spares list - relays. If they go phutt (not often I guess) you stop. They weigh nothing and are small, but important,
    cheers and happing tripping. Monty

    I know the list is endless but don't disregard hose clamps of various sizes.

    I've saved myself with hoses and also clamping up broken mounts.

    One of our earlier trips when a member broke his exhaust mount.

    I had a spare 3" clamp and it not only kept the convoy going the member probably still has it clamped on today

    We tried that stuff with a punctured brake hose and it could not cope with the pressure.
