I was wondering what parts everyone tends to break to determine what spares to carry as well as things to check before and after a trip.
I want this to be sort of a poll, so just list out everything you've broken and/or had to repair on your H3 over the years. I'm not counting vehicle crashes, just regular wear as well as normal abuse from offroading (not stupid stuff though, if you were bouncing and spinning your tires, you're going to break stuff you normally wouldn't.).
I don't think everyone needs to go into detail as to why something broke (you can if you want), but just a concise list would be great and possibly if you know what mileage your had to replace them at would probably be helpful as well.
Our rigs at best are 8 years old now, and at worst 12 years old, so I think we should be able to get a good list here.
Here are the common parts I already know about (but please still list them so that we can get a count):
Front CV axles
Tie rods (inner/outer, particularly 2006-2007 which had thinner rods)
Radiator
Transfer case shift fork (2006-2007)
Transfer case chain buffer plate
Front drive shaft CV joint
All suspension bushings
Steering rack
