if you go overlanding to remote areas I may suggest you carry the following spares. Starter motor, back up PCM, auxiliary belt, vacuum pump and ad-hoc gaskets, 1 pair +2 shock absorbers, 1 pair of U joints, a turbo wiring loom, output seals for the LT230 and rear hub double lip seals if you are running "wet axles". Plus the necessary tools to fit these parts. As for the PCM you have the alternative to get an IMMO off PCM so you do not mess with the Alarm ECU. Also, you should fit a Haydn low coolant alarm and a secondary diesel filter with a priming pump if you do not have one already. You may choose to store some of those pare parts at home and have someone to ship them when needed, depending where you are. Anyway, these defenders are quite simply mechanically speaking. The complicated parts are related to the electronics (i.e. the 3 ECUs and the wiring). Finally I would not use such big tires if I decide to go places like Kyrgyzstan or so. An do dot forget to take your Nanocom (not sure if the GAP tool works offline though).
I take essential tools like hub socket and propshaft socket an 19 and 17mm sockets. Battery jump starter, Screwdrivers tow ropes recovery equipment with good external lights. Fail to prepare, Prepare to fail.
Land Rover, Proudly turning owners into mechanics for 70 years. You should know that.
What a load of crap mate.
I think it depends on where you are going and how far. Locally, (UK), a spare tyre, a few sockets, mobile phone, jack, cable ties, compressor, AA card, multi tool, jubilee clips, milliput, WD-40, duct tape, fuses, bulbs and a spare windscreen wiper. Ive used these tools multiple times, but never on my car, always helping others in their vehicles, and before the haters say it, no not other land rovers. Further away or in more remote areas, as previous but with the addition of a tyre repair set, home made Land Rover tool kit - (sockets universal spanner, molegrips, file, larger sockets etc), some fluids, UJ, rad repair, set of break pads, assorted hammers, hack saws, wire, relays, spare fuel, spare water and a Garmin SOS satphone. Every country has a Land Rover network, do your homework before you go, make contacts. I don’t think there is a typical load out that I’d take, I’d take what I think I would need, then self rescue to a local town.
knowledge is power, know our vehicles its a plus, can repair it's faboulose, take with us a minimum spare parts/tools it's a rule.. I don't go offroad alone (one vehicle) at 90% because sh1t happens and have a partner in crime with me it's a salvage (maybe only mental) so if I'm alone and cant fix can ask online to help or make a video-call and ask friend to guide me step by step...
It's a question with an obvious answer. Yes. The problems arise when the faults are electrical, which increase the more modern vehicles become. Then basic tools are useless and you have to carry a diagnostic computer.
If you haven't got a large G clamp, they are important for replacing propshaft ujs.
I live 7 miles from town. I don’t even go to town with out some tools and jumper cables. When off roading or traveling I add duck tape, a couple feet of electric fence wire, a gallon of water and a snatch strap. I’ve always wanted the mean Green alternator! It was advised that you could do a temporary weld with it. Ya I think you two are on the right path. The best way to learn is from experience firsthand.
Most essential kit for overlanding.
It's an insurance policy like a winch or second spare tyre. I carry a full socket and spanner kit along with a few spare parts like bearings and an extra shock. Never know when it could come in handy- I can say a shock has come in use before hence.
As I was once told, even if you don’t have the knowledge or skill, someone may happen along who does. Alternatively, you may be able to help someone else. Basic tools and tools specific to your vehicle are essential.
I keep a ton of tools on board, but they are usually used on other peoples vehicles.

As well, you should be aware that Defenders are intensive in maintenance, unlike Toyotas. However, in the long term the Defender will outlast the toyota.
Should have bought a Toyota, much less trouble.
What a load of crap mate.
