Assuming one has been on this forum for years and understands what it means to own and maintain a Disco, what do you guys think should be actually on board in the way of spare parts when more than a few hours away from home?

I carry a spare XYZ switch, MAF sensor, and a spare coolant hose tee with screw.

 

Hey I like this.
I built/installed a drawer system last winter with that list as basis for layout. Knock on wood- I haven’t needed nor carry those three essentials! Sounds like a good & I’ll revisit my parts truck as the list never seems to be at rest.

I have a drawer for cooking:
A little kit from front runner & GSI outdoors, few spices, little olive oil & cast iron pan.

drawer for recovery:
few straps, knetic rope, few Drings, rubber boots, gloves, old beach towel/rag, 5x5 tarp, ****** block. Winch controller, jumper cables, air hose.

Drawer for tools:
Portable Socket set, first aid kit, bug spray, code reader, little butane canister, 3/4” breaker bar with 1.116” socket, a waterproof submersible box with some electrical tools like tape, pliers, fuses, volt meter,
Little Swiss hand saw, smaller sharp hatchet/hammer, adjustable wrench & few open ended wrenches, screw driver +/-, tube high temp gasket maker, dialectic, container of JB epoxy weld, piece of 3/8 hose, a small air grinder tool. A brake flare tool, spare serp belt

Removed jump seats so driver side cubby is some essential fluids: brake, coolant, always last bit of Rotella 1g oil balance from previous oil change, ps fluid. Diff oil. Lighter fluid.
Right side cubby holds my onboard air.

- all of this is a slow accumulation of what I found I needed or had to acquire out there on the road/trail to get home or help one the guys on the trail to get out.
Alao happens to be my favorite past time, working and fabbing this truck.

 

I'll just carry a piece of wood, occasionally, I'll knock on it.



























Seriously though, impressed with the list.

 

I carry this in whichever D2 I’m driving. Covers all the basics IMHO.

 

 

Depends on how long and how far I am going, day trip not much other than fluids but often toss my parts box in, multi-day trip parts box for sure

Parts box contents

• Full set of rad hoses
• thermostat - only because I have a spare
• Rotoflex
• Fuses and relays
• Air filter - I have spare so
• CPS
• Seals all
• muffler tape
• 6 inc square of tin and box of hex head self tapping screws
• bailing wire
• duct tape

Anything beyond this is kind of pointless as it would be indicative of a much larger problem likely requiring a tow

 

I’ve got...
- roll of duct tape
- bag of hose clamps
- a bag of parts... fan belt, crankshaft position sensor, MAF
- a whole engine fusebox assembly with all the fuses and relays
- a cheap mini toolkit
- the stock bottle jack
- 2 4x4 blocks of wood for the bottle jack or to make a fire with if I’m stranded somewhere if these tools don’t work
- and my trusty Nanocom!
