Default Parts Vehicle - What Should I Get?

I may have found an '04 Disco that has been wrecked and will be parted out. I have some specific things in mind that I know I need, but what should I consider buying for future repairs? The donor vehicle has about 80k miles, and my '03 has 60k, so some items could be more worn on the donor than on my truck.

I've been getting intermittent 3 amigos, but have yet to diagnose the problem. Should I go ahead and get the shuttle valve? No idea if that's my problem or if the donor valve is any good, but it might be worth it if it's cheap enough. I'm thinking O2 sensors would be too old to worry about. What else?

If it has a Centre Difflock in it, get the Transfer lever / linkage and Diff lock cable and sell it to me!!!

Not necessary, but the load bars on the roof will make yoru 03 look like an 04. cosmetically, that is the only difference.

It is always handy to have cheap spare parts. If they are cheap enough, I buy crap I don't need all of the time. I usually test it for a week on my truck and then just label it in the garage.

Bryan,
is your truck on the vinn list for a oil pump failure? If so a stand by engine sounds good.
If you are planning on wheeling, the t/case and shift cable so you can have lots more traction, and sure the ABS modual is worth it weight in cold if the price is right.

No, I'm not in the range, but I do have a pretty good knock in the engine right now.

I've thought about the tcase, but I don't expect to wheel the truck.
