The Toyota Landcruiser Owners Club

[Boghopper]

I am intending to go to the Pyrenees in July and need to start getting together the necessary kit for the trip.

I am asking if anyone has an existing list I can look at and tweak to my requirements.

Also in the same vein, can people please comment on what has gone wrong with they vehicles whilst in the middle of nowhere, and what spares need to be taken.

I may well venture further afield next year, so any purchases will come in for trips in the future.

Do you want to fix it when on your trip or prep it before you go?

[Boghopper]

Hi 24 Seven

I see you have done some traveling yourself. Thanks for the reply.

The vehicle will of course need to be fully maintained before setting off. I think the radiator is a good precaution. I am a little worried about these lower ball joints now - what do you think?

Are there any parts that are not fixable in the field that I would be recommended to take?

Any advise greatly appreciated

[Blue Meanie]

Blimey - where to begin ! Im sure this thread will grow quite large so....

Ill ignore the obvious items and mention the small but essential items we discovered on our Morrocco trip.

Navigation:
'tomtom' style gps
'normal' gps
road maps
small change ready for toll roads.

Misc:
Wind up LED torch - cant believe how much use this got !
baby wipes
bin bags


Safety:
fire extinguisher
first aid kit
High vis jacket per person in car
Safety triangles x 2
drinking water - how much dependant on terrain
mobile phone

Misc:
Hidden safe
Leatherman type tool
lots of mp3s

Spares: - none were used included
Bulbs - a legal requirement for Europe
2 x spare wheels with tyres (BFG AT)
1 x 20m tow rope
k weld for emergency repairs
jubilee clips,cable ties etc


AA cover must be worth a look at for piece of mind too.

Our SWB 90 was flawless with no mechanical nightmares or worries, despite snow in the Atlas mountains and rockfields in deserts.
Im sure you will have no problems in a LC.

[24Seven]

[Boghopper]

Thanks Blue Meanie, I hope to tackle Morrocco perhaps next year.

It is always good to talk to someone who has actually done it. I am sure your list will be added to, however thanks for starting it

By the way, what year and mileage is your 90?

Interesting list... only comment:

Underpants 1 per Day

Should that not be Underpants 1 per Day + 1 Spare

Visa card and a passport. That should do it!

Gary, you are a star. Didn't know your house had wheels on it.
