P700 700-4 tool kit

[Predhead]

If you were to build a small tool kit for your 700 what would you put in it? I want to put one together and just wondering what you might have needed or what you carry.

Here's a great start!

At the moment, I bring mostly recovery gear but that will soon change. Here's what I have as of right now-

2 d-ring shackles
1 snatch block
1 tree saver strap
1 20' tow strap
Full size spare tire
Leatherman (always in my pocket)
Cell phone
Spark plug
Honda tool kit

Here's what I need/should have-

Jack
Shovel
Zip ties
Duct tape
Lug wrench
small metric socket set
Crescent wrench
Wd-40 or equivalent

I thought that was a given.

I am also interested in this thread. The last 2 times I've had my Pioneer out, I've gotten hung up. The first time I was caught on some frozen ruts. All 4 wheels were just spinning. I was able to rock it side to side, while my buddy ran the gas pedal. The second time, I went over a "frozen" mud puddle. Broke through the ice and was stuck. Right side wheels were in the air, left side buried in mud, and digging deeper. Ice was a few inches thick. We tried jamming stuff under the tires, to no avail. Pulled many large pieces of ice out. Finally, was able to back up and get a little traction.

Is anyone using a come-a-long? If so, what size(weight). I really don't want to buy a winch, and Harbor Freight has them for around $20.

I suppose you could use a come-along. I would think bigger is better as far as that goes but jeez you sound like a PRIME candidate for a winch. Harbor freight sells those too!

I've been using this come-along: TEKTON 5547 4-Ton Dual Gear Power Puller - Automotive Jaw Pullers - Amazon.com

Haven't had to use it a lot, thankfully!

Beer makes the perfect currency on the trail. If I have enough beer I can get help with any problem I might encounter or...
I can enjoy life until help arrives.

I happen to have an extra winch still in the box if anyone is interested. I bought it a while back for my 700-4 from a local shop that was closing.

Hmm, an extra winch?

What's the specs on said winch?

It's a 3000 lb Bighorn Brand. Comes with everything needed to mount and a remote switch. It also has the farilead coming with it.

I'd take $100 for it plus shipping. It's not doing anything for me, just looking to give it a good home.

Don't happen to be going to the group ride next month?

I wish. I can't get off work. I tell you what, If it would help someone out, I'll take $100 even and I can pay for shipping.

 

[Gator]

I'll take it off your hands Moose.

And put it to good use.
