Have done Simpson and read the aboveand watch Action 4WD. You will need extra fuel, long distance between fuel stops. Suggest enough drinking water to survive 5 days if stranded plus what you need per day I think it's recommended 10L/day. This can be topped up at stops that have water. You need to be self sufficent with cooking method by gas etc. Keep clothing to minimium but have both summer and winter clothes. Hot days cold nights. Because you are travelling through some aboriginal areas, you may not be allowed to have a petrol chainsaw, so I recomend just an axe to cut some fire wood. A good toolbox of mechanical tools. Exhaust jack would be lighter than hi-lift. Air compressor is a must. Shovel. Two torches.

We took two spares wheels and needed none. Shocks were taken and used two sets of spares. Spare light bulbs of all types, fan belts, thermostat, gasket paper and sealant make a good choice of spares.
