Bring at least one spare set of rear shafts, two sets if you can get your hands on them. Those are the shafts that you absolutely need to get off the trail and/or drive home.

A set of spare front shafts and joints (assembled) would be good too (10 bolt stuff is usually cheap and easy to find in junkyards).

One spare u-joint for each driveshaft, brake cleaner, RTV, fluids (motor oil, trans fluid and diff fluid; no need for coolant, you can run water in the radiator short term if you need to). Spare coolant hoses and belts are a good idea, when I replace them I save the old ones for spares.

You should always have spare fuses.

IMO the spare water and fuel pumps are overkill but if you already have spare ones it won't hurt to bring them.


Past that you'll just need tools, a tow strap, a fire extinguisher, etc.

Spare bolts are one thing that can be very useful and something that most people forget to pack.


You'll probably forget something or end up needing something you didn't bring but that's the beauty of going wheeling with other people; someone will probably have what you need.



You'll have a ton of fun I promise

Thanks Chris, I am really looking forward to it. I wish it would stop raining in the afternoons when I am off work so I could get the blazer running.

Well if I ever find some time on the weekend that I am not working on my own rig maybe i could give you a hand. Pretty long drive from Durango to there though.

It doesn't make any sense for you to come all that way just for me. I really think that I can figure it out on my own. I printed all the articles from Petersens 4 Wheel and Off Road Magazine that were written by Fred Williams. I think that I can get it done but, I am not sure if it will be done by the time BB rolls around.
