    Hello Forum,
    My 2016 Tundra current has 119k miles on the clock and will go on 1000+ mile road trips on a regular basis.
    What spares should I keep in the truck?
    This is what I have so far...

    Tools:
    - Metric Socket Set
    - Metric Wrench Set
    - Metric Allen Key Set
    - VIAIR Air Compressor

    Spare Parts:
    - (1) OEM Spark Plug [Just replaced all 8...]
    - (1) OEM Ignition Coil
    - (1) Same Size Spare Tire on OEM Aluminum Wheel

    My spare parts list for my 2003 Lexus LX470 was much larger, but it was older and had a few more miles on it.

    Thank you in advance for your knowledge / assistance.
    Tom

    I'm sorry, I did not buy them from a Toyota parts store. I bought Bussman Toyota specific fuses from Autozone.

    CASH...Nothing fixes problems in a far off land like green dollar bills.
    I really don't carry spares besides fuses. I'm putting together my Gen 3 now like my 2.5 so I'm really looking at what I carry as far as tools, recovery gear, SHTF gear, etc. For mechanical I just want to be able to get myself to a shop/parts store where the cash comes in handy.

    Small tool kit with metric sockets/wrenches
    Mini jump box
    Mini tire compressor
    Folding 4 way lug wrench
    Duct tape
    Electrical tape
    Wire ties
    Electrical wire
    hose clamps
    wire ties
    Gloves
    Safety vest

    When I use to go 4 wheeling in my jeep. They always said to at least bring bungee cords and duck tape. :rofl:But, if I was gonna go 4 wheeling, I would also bring spare parts like axles and u-joints. And more tools to deal with those problems.

    This is a must for me.

    Plus an assortment of wrenches, tow straps, Viair air pump. And a lot of things already mentioned. Rescue tape too.
    Plus, because I use them, folding chairs, camping grill, tackle box, ratchet straps, bait cooler, Foxwing poles, tie downs and stakes.The Foxwing goes on the roof racks when I need it, or when I'm going to the beach too often to want to remove and re-install every couple of days. It does subtract about 1.5 mpg.
