Re: Alaska Spare Parts List
I agree. Middle of nowhere happens anywhere. Happened to me 5pm Christmas eve night in SC where there are loads of people.
I carry a full compliment of tools 3/8 sets to 1/2 allens, hex's wrenches etc etc etc. I even carry some speciality stuff for wheel bearings. Have had to those on the side of the road too.
As far as replcement parts go the above list is good. I limit it to a cps, power steering hose, belt (because mine takes the ambulance package belt), Fuel, antifreeze, additive, trany fluid (sub's for ps fluid), oil, filters (oil, fuel, air), grease, and axle lube.
