So I'm super anal about keeping part numbers for just about everything that I make a trip to the parts store for. It's just so much easier to tell the tard at the register the number rather than have him try and look it up by vehicle. Now that I've completely changed around the drivetrain in the buggy I was going through and revamping my parts list but I figured I'd take all the old stuff and dump it here because I think there is some pretty useful stuff in here that could help someone out. If you got any specific questions about a particular part just ask. Oh, and I always print out a copy and keep it in my tow rig so if I blow up on the trail and got to run to the parts store I got it handy :thumbsup:

I'm not sure how helpful some of this stuff will be since I had a pretty unique setup but it's better than nothing.

That is a really cool idea. I thinkt hat I will start doing the same thing. It sure will make it easier during a parts run.

Awesome list!:thumbsup: And I thought I was the only one that did this. These lists are a must whenever you start swapping stuff around on a vehicle.

That's cool, better than the pieces of box ends I keep in my glovebox... :D

Motor was a 360. One great tip from that list is the oil filter. It's quite a bit taller than the factory filter. It allows you to overfill your motor by about a quart without any foaming. I used to ran 6 quarts of 20w-50 religiously.

Standard or metric thread?

That's a pretty good trick.

I have been doing something similar for years with shop and field equipment that I have at work. A loose leaf binder with document protectors, with the box tops for the various filters, belts, etc. Stays in the tool box, and every time I run into something new, it goes in the folder. Seems like the Encyclopedia Britanica, anymore.

great post!

Too bad the part numbers are in an image and therefore cannot be searched on.
