Hi Folks,
just upgraded from an 85 SE Jackaroo (2.2 Litre T/D with 430,000 km! - which I still have and have to sell now) to a 2001 SE 3 litre T/D. As we are planning a trip shortly I thought It wise to get a second spare wheel as the spares off the old Jackaroo are way to small. I got a wheel and tyre from the Tread Shed in Adelaide. The fellow asked me if I was a member of a Jackaroo club (No) as he has a heap (30 or 40) of Jackaroo wheels. Ours cost $40 and is in good nick. Also picked up a tyre in good cond for $30. I thought that was reasonable and the service was excellent.

Couple of questions for anyone who might know.
Ive borrowed a bead breaker off a mate but ive heard they are very difficult to use and most air compressors aren't powerful enough to reseat the new tyre anyway - comments?

Also - was considering taking a spare type (as well as the two spare wheels) and a couple of tubes. Is this overkill given the weight and room of a spare tyre? (upcoming trip is Birdsville/Innaminka/White cliffs area. Again - any comments welcome.
