I was wondering what spare parts you guys carry with you on the trail. I know to bring spare Ujoints, coil, radiator hoses, and energency fan belt. What else should I carry? I know some people carry spare Crank position Sensors(CPS) and Throttle Position Sensors(TPS) aswell as some other bir item spares like alternators,axle shafts, and tie rods. What would be a good list?
What spare parts to carry on the Trail?

In my rig on daily driving I carry spare axle shafts fronts and rears, ujoints all of them, various sizes of vaccume hoses, electrical wiring, and other misc. stuff. On the trail I carry all that plus drive shafts, spider gears for D30, radiator hose, belt, tire (no I don't usually carry my spare tire around town), starter, that is all I can think of right now. I will add more if I think of it. everytime I go wheeling I find another spare part to carry, I now have three XJ's so I got lots of spares. DIG IT!

I used to carry all 4 axle shafts, sometimes more if I could find them in the junkyard, stock front driveshaft, 1 hub, stock control arms. That was about it other than misc. electrical crap and tools. I have replace all of the above parts on the trail. One time I took out both upper control arms and the front driveshaft. Had all parts to fix. Only time I didn't make it home under my own power was a broken rear driveshaft that took out the t-case. You can only carry so many spare parts.

Bah!!!
To hell with spare axle ujoints, too cold to change 'em when you need to.
I bring a spare set of 760x front shafts.
Driveshaft ujoints, fluids for me and the rig, serp belt, and the tools no one else usually has.

Don't forget the socket for the front axles. I'm shocked by the number of guys I've seen on the trail who carry spare u-joints or shafts and have no way to get them out of the vehicle to change them.
