My wife and I made a very similar trip the year previous to yours. We started and ended in Seattle. I took spare parts including spring leaves, head gasket set, fuel pump, water pump and other stuff I no longer remember. The only thing I needed was a part I forgot to bring, a fuel filter that plugged up 20 miles from Dawson City, YK. I nursed it to the NAPA store in Dawson and got a replacement. The old one was plugged with what looked to be goat hair.
I'll upload a couple of pics. Their locations will be obvious.
