Water, brake fluid, oil, set of points, plugs and a full socket and spanner set and then with any luck you won't need any of them.

Give the door top nuts a blast of WD40 and take door tops off - I'm assuming its quite warm down there at the moment!

Good luck
 
Good timing for a road trip as petrol price is very low at the moment over here ,good luck on the trip im in culverden north canterbury if you come inland and have any troubles
 
Number 8

Ill never forget that , when i was planning our ride round nz i was asking some mates dowm there about emergency repairs and ****.

He said - pack good wire cutter , you can fix anything with number 8.
 
That looks like a excellent purchase you have made there , especially as the price wanted for the other two long wheel base Series Ones on that site are $5,000 and $8,400 .
Apart from all the obvious suggestions I would take the door tops off (if you can undo the door restraint straps ) to reduce noise a little bit . Ear plugs ? Take turns in driving ?

I am in the planning stage of converting my 107" into a tray back and I have been collecting images of other examples for inspiration and ideas . Your truck is going in zee book ! ( a Dad's Army joke ) .

Enjoy your trip . You will be a different person when you arrive home !
