What do you take with you on every ride in your riding box? What are the must haves?
 
#2 ·
many threads on this if you do a search but I'll bite.

socket set, wrenches, screw drivers inc. a star to remove body parts, wire cuter, 2 vise grips, belt, jack, oil, coolant, knife, set of spark plugs, tire plugs, compressor, zip ties, small roll of bailing wire, fuses, flashlight, clean shop towels, water proof matches. I'm sure I have other small items. On my rack I have a spare tire, 2 gal fresh water, 2 gallon of fuel and strapped to my side is my little friend.

I have been in a semi bad situation and promised myself I would always carry what I need to get out if I had a problem. I've even seen guys bust an axle and remove it and fill the the hole in the rear-end with a thick branch hammered in to keep fluid from leaking out. You need to be inventive when needed... Best

other things to add to the list: ratchet strap in case you bust a bead on your tire, fire extinguisher, small hatchet, straps for winching or getting a pull out, small camping shovel, led flashlight, first aid kit(includes benedryl) and a survival kit if riding solo for the day in less traveled trails

In 4 years and thousands of miles ,we have never left a machine or a member in the Mountains or the desert .You all should decide where and how you ride ,And make your own choice's on what you need to be able to get you home safely .

I bought this unit for my BIL for Christmas and cannot believe how many times we have used it since ...

I bought it at Wally World (yuk) for I think $49 and I now keep it in my storage box on the razor ... :cool:

I started the same thread in another section days before and this one seems to have more traction?

Anyhow. I have been riding for some time too. Our riding is in mountains near wilderness sometimes 30-50 miles from any roads. On my Sportsman I had fro t and rear storage along with a few bags. On the RZR I do t have nearly the storage space. How are you fitting all that "crap"???

Last year I switched my AR7 for a Lil Badger rifle. It's far thinner lil lighter but a single shot. (Packs and stows easy!!)

I have a between the seats bag and lock n ride rear box. I'm looking for something to fit along side it in bed. 50cL cans almost fit. 30's fit fine but with wasted space.

I like the map bag that's avail perform the older cage on the XP but don't see anything g like it for the trail yet.

Door bags seem like they would make a small cockpit smaller...
