Ours was an original land Rover axle, have now new heavy duty land rover axles in, our choice

And yes you can drive home on one Axel, though if 4WDing not the case, we can prove this theory

My God. Those lists look like what we used to carry on the remote mail runs out of Winton 50's-60's. No communications, few other vehicles to take a message. Fix it yourself with what you carried.

Remote area travel with petrol engines, I would definitely carry a distributor, leads, and coil.

Our first priority then was spare wheels, tyres, and tubes. As many as you could fit on the mail truck. Tyre levers, vulcanising patches and clamps in the tool boxes. All belts and hoses, spare generator, cut out, roll of wire.

I take my small tool box and a 1/2" & 3/8 socket set nowadays. Two people can lift the small tool box out of the County or trailer.
