Being thinking about what I need/should carry as spares, pretty sure I'm the only tb45.
Found a complete heater and radiator hose kit for $225 from patrol a part and will have a radiator cap, but what about things like alternator, it was changed in Dec '21. What else??

Wouldn't worry too much about alternator in desert but could for peace of mind if you really want, starter motor for auto maybe but then again might be overboard. Spare nuts and bolts corrugations rattle averything to buggery, zip ties & duct tape & metal putty a must lol. . Make sure tyres are good a plug kit & compressor (but will be a heap of those on the convoy.) Really good pre start prep service a must check all wheel bearings, brake pads oils etc. Spare filters a good one to carry too.

Cheers mate.
Zip ties, metal putty, plug kit and compressor already live in the back of the patrol. I do need to change my exhaust system it's had a leak ever since I owned it. Good excuse for a full new system. While it's there I'll get them to do a tappets adjustment and give it a once over.

I wouldn't say spare fuel but rather fuel to spare!

Yeah me too, it's been way too long and hopefully it will do something to the fuel economy, if not at least it will sound better..

Jen can’t make the Simpson trip so it’s just me and the two kids!
I’m going to rip out the RHS back seat and create room for more storage with the second fridge/freezer and pantry stuff.
Stay tuned, so much more room for activities lol
