5000 Mile Expedition, Spares to take?

[h2eater]

Hey there, I am participating in a 5000+ mile Expedition through Mexico and Belize and was curious what some others out there thought we should be bringing for spares [aside from another Rover] so any input would be greatly appreicated. I know this is a 90 forum but most stuff crosses over. Our expedition vehicle is a 87 RRC in pretty good mechanical shape.

Thanks!

I remeber reading in the roversnorths news that gets sent out that a couple had embarked on something similar to your adventure in a RRC. it was a pretty detailed story that lasted a few issues, this has been about 4 months ago the last I remember reading anything about it. they talked about some of the problems they had with thier truck which were pretty non threatining. it may be worth a try to find those articles for some insight FWIW

Jason,

Is this an organized trip? Is there a URL maintained by the trip organizers?

Two spares, tire plugs, an AK, couple glocks

complete ignition system, fuel pump (I have an almost new one correct for the 87), couple fuel filters
