Off Roading offroading spare drivetrain parts.

[Coalsmoke]

what parts of our drivetrain (or suspension) are really good things to bring extras of? I was thinking u-joints for one, but I noticed that there are a lot underneath our front end alone. 4x4 savvys, what are the must bring along parts and what parts are good ideas anyways?

How about a front drive shaft, then take at least on front axle end. several quarts of gear oil, spare differential cover, couple tubes ATV sealant. Spare fuses, several chains, and nylon chokers. A well stocked first aid kit, small fire extinguisher, water, CB radio or walky talkies. several quarts of motor oil, spare oil and air filter, air or compressor,hy-lift jack, and tire repair kit, a good assortment of hand tools, duct tape, ty-wire, assortment of ty-wraps, two cans of radiator stop leak, can of starter fluid, and not not forget the toilet paper! Good luck

front drive shaft as a whole or just the joints? I have most everything else, the air source will come once the horns are in. Y-knot, my big question is that tire repair kit. In the past (I worked in an auto garage for a while) we always used the flat patches that were applied to the inside of the tire. This method requires a tire machine to unbead and pull the tire off the rim (at least how I'm acquainted with it). When you speak of a tire repair kit, do you mean those rubber strips that come with a threader punch and glue?



Thanks for your response,

Yes ... the patch on the inside is better, but not going to happen on the trail. On the front axle, I was just talking about the axle ends. If you had one for a spare it would be nice. Also I took it would had a winch. It would be nice to have a new complete front drive shaft, you could even go to a wecking yard and get a used one.
