As always there is a variety of advice and suggestions.
We are doing the Simpson in July and have been planning it for a while.
I agree that Jerry's are fine - no need to spend $$$ on a long range tank. The Boab tanks sold by Dollium are also a good option and affordable.
I disagree with the handheld uhf's though. Although they may be ok for the Simpson actual, alot of other tracks around getting to the Simpson can see you spread out for a number of K's to stay out of the dust.
If you are looking at future trips, get a decent UHF & Aerial, money
well spent.
I agree with two spares (light truck a/t's) , compressor, tyre repair kit, sand flag.
Again, if you are looking at future trips, a 50mm lift is a good way to go.
One thing to consider, even if you don't know how to use some kit, or repair certain things, having the stuff their - someone in your group or someone coming past has a better chance of helping you.
Carry basic spares - hoses, belts, filters etc.
And have fun - touring is great
