A list of spare parts

Here's the list of things we are likely to need from reading the forums
and going through my mental rolodex:


Replacement Parts:
1) Distributor Cap + Rotor
2) A couple of extra spark plug wires
3) Extra hoses and hose clamps for the cooling system - better to buy
new ones (not expensive at all)
8) 1 set brake pads (probably $40)
16) Spare water pump
17) spare thermostat
18) a spare fuel filter to help clean the junk out of the fuel
24) a spark plug or four pre-gapped along with a wire brush for cleaning
fouled plugs.
25) spare oil and oil filter
27)extra head gasket
30 Overrated radiator cap (non-venting cap preferable)
31) Engine V-belt
32) Clutch fluid (if open system)
26) spare oil pan plug (they disappear far too easily when working on a
car)
12) Spare air filter (or a K&N style cleanable air filter)
28) a couple of extra headlamp/taillight bulbs
19) A spare fuel line
16) If carbourated (1 carb. Rebuild kit)
17) Differential Oil/Fluid for the 4x4 system

Important to have accessories:

15) Several spare bolts of assorted sizes (particularly for the
suspension)
4) 2 extra tires/wheels to tie on the roof
7) 1 tow rope (for when we get hopelessly stuck in mud
9) 2 jerry cans for fuel
13) Axle grease
21) Booster cables for when we need a jump
19) Extra electrical wire and connectors in case we lose electrics
20) A whole bunch of spare fuses
23) Extra brake fluid
24) A tarp for repairs so that parts don't get dirty/lost in the dust
25) extra worm gear clamps


List of quick-fix repair stuff:
33) Radial tire repair kit
1) Loads of Duct Tape
5) J-B Weld Cold Welding compound: http://jbweld.net/products/jbweld.php
5) Perm-o-seal radiator stopleak
6) 4 tubes of tire-seal for reinflating busted tires
22) Exhaust repair kit (basically bandage and support wire that can
handle excess heat) purchasable at any automotive store
23) Zip ties
24) bearing grease
25) Carb and choke cleaner
26) fuel additive


On the list of "maybe good to have, but sort of expensive and probably
not worth it if they cost over 40, but we should know where to order
them from:

10) alternator
11) starter motor
14) Spare wheel bearing or two
15) Fuel pump
16) CV Joint and Boots
17) Shock absorber
18) Ignition coil (magneto0

Also, For our health, I had two important Ideas:

A book called "where there is no doctor, a village health care handbook

A good water filter with replacement filter cartridges: Katydin is the
best.


We should also think about fitting a steel plate under the engine
compartment (a ding guard) to keep the oil pan from getting knocked off
in the middle of the bumpiness.

Whew.
