?LIST? Most common issues with disco II and what parts would you bring
OK I have a 2000 disco now just did the cld linkage from disco I on it, did all the fluids, drive shaft and now the complete gasket kit and thermostat starting tonight also pulled the low range solenoid off the transfer case.
So a list of the most common problems they have with a (would it leave you stuck) and is there a quick trail side work around to cripple it out or just plug on no issues.
I want to take my kids to the mtns and goof off with them but teaching them how to sit on the road side isn't a lesson I'd like to stress too much.

complete gasket kit meaning .... there are lots of gaskets.
Certainly a belt, spare hoses (they get snagged), oil filter (poke a hole it and it can be a bad day in a hurry), spare fluids, tools to install, volt meter, tin foil (makes any fuse) or spare fuse variety pack., flash lights. If you have a place to stow it, a spare battery fully charged before you leave (in case you need to jump yourself), jumper cables. Can of brake parts spray clean. Cools of sensors like the Crank Position sensor. Two cases of bottled water (drink or refill radiator). Some zip ties and a lighter (melted zip ties seal plastic cracks). Duct tape (for the kids.. lol). Small container of gojo hand cleaner. Some nitrile gloves. ****** strap, just in case a Jeep needs to be extracted, or wanders by while you are stuck. Plastic tarp (makes a quick tent, rain fly, covers a busted sunroof, and you can crawl on it under the truck).
Peacemaker - a power inverter with a plug strip. [are you taking those kids on a four hour ride out to the boonies - with no entertainment).
You are not going on an expedition across the outback. Can't haul too much or no space for offspring. Cellphones and AAA are a wonderful thing.
Get enough water under the hood and something will need to dry out. Don't let kids lock the truck - to avoid superlock.
But you are just talking about stuff to get you back to the main road, where AAA can get you and the cell phones work.
Some zombie repellant for those spine tingling ghost stories....

The more common things on this forum are dead battery (any age), battery terminals, overheating, coolant leaks, coolant tanks cracking, locking / immobilization , sensor related won't start (many times the Crank sensor), oil leaks of every kind and source, head gaskets. You can'rt fix some of these things on the trail, but you can limp home. And most of these things won't leave you stranded. Unlikely to carry a spare fuel pump, spark coil pack, spare starter, etc.
Take a little stuff, have a great time, and be prepared for having fun - even if you have to walk back and wrap the kids in a tarp while you wait for AAA.

Damn, you guys are hard. I carry a tool roll, a cps, gorilla tape, zip ties, hose clamps, jumper wire with alligator clip ends, jug of distilled water. That is my full out into the void supply kit. If you can't limp it out with that its most likely not field repairable.
These things are not as fragile as everyone thinks they are.
