Hi folks
I'm pretty new to Toyota ownership, so I'm looking for your suggestions about the essential spare parts and specialised tools I should carry for remote area travel (in Australia). My vehicle is a 2010 VDJ79R - the diesel V8 79 series single-cab with 200,000 km on the clock.
I do have a pretty complete set of tools, tyre repair kit, compressor, recovery gear, first-aid, GPS/maps/PLB, HF radio, camping/cooking etc (been doing this 20 years - just not in a Toyota!).
In terms of mechanical and vehicle spares I would normally carry belts, wheel bearings & grease, oil & fuel filters, heater and radiator hoses, air filter, engine oil, brake and power-steering fluid, electrical globes/fuses/wire/multi-meter and a few nuts and bolts.
Is there anything else I should pack for my middle-aged Toyota? Any specialist tools I might need?
Thanks!
Chris
