[T3] 2012 Invasion (Parts to carry?)

[Robert Rogers]

I don’t have a lot of experience with extended trips in my T3. However, it seems prudent to think about repair items that might be needed.  I suggest you concentrate on repair items rather than replacement parts.  Here is a suggested list:

1.	A small tool box with a socket set and assorted pliers, screw drivers, wrenches, and etc.
2.	Tools to remove a wheel drum
3.	Multi  meter
4.	Flashlight 
5.	Spare fuel pump (if available)
6.	Flexible brake line
7.	Front and rear brake wheel cylinder (if available)
8.	Flexible Fuel line
9.	Fan belt
10.	Two jack stands
