Okay folks, I got the quad, the trailer, and the riding gear, now I need to get my "just in case something breakes" box together.

I'm about to put mount of those truck toolboxes on my trailer, so I have PLENTY of room. Just wondering what you all think are some of the key items that and ATVer should take on each ride.

In it I should have........

I always take an extra spark plug, low lb air gage, tire plug kit, tow strap, the toolkit that comes with the polaris. A cell phone is not a bad idea. If you dont have a wench then a come-along-manual wench is good. Oh, a can of fixaflat. Keep in mind if you puncture a tire the fixaflat will NOT repair it...but after you put the new plug in it will help seal the plug and most importantly the fixaflat will re-inflate your tire.

A phone if you have one, tire inflator can and a plug kit and insrter tool are a must.you should pack all sockets and wrenches from 3/8s to 5/8s
spare belt and a spark plug but you probably wont need it with a 4 stroke and a tow rope to pull slow Hondas out with.And your set.

MOUSIN, Here is what I carry on my wheeler. A small pair of vice grips, a chunk of bailing wire, roll of electrical tape, tire repair kit, extra plug, a couple of various nuts and bolts, the stock tool kit, leatherman and a cell phone. I havn't used much of the kit myself but, a few of my ridding buddies have come to depend on it. A few of them like to tear there stuff up!
