So the wife and I are planning some day trips and overnight trips. Like most I want to be prepared for the apocalypse. I wanted to find a box for the bed which I finally found a reasonably price box at tractor supply (bigger than I wanted but only $22).
I’d like to mount the following to the box:
Farmer Jack (jaw breaker)
Spare tire
Jerry Can
The reason I’d like everything mounted is so when I’m using the Pioneer at the farm I could back up to my bench and slide the whole assembly on and off.

So my question: is there anything else that I’m not thinking of? Also how to easily mount the Farmer Jack and Spare tire to the box? Any other ideas appreciate!

Thanks in advance!

When you say anything else your not thinking of - are you meaning what should you carry or what/ how to make removable?
To carry among a lot of other things I would have a spare tie rod or two and the tools to change it.

My wife and I do a lot of riding where I can't even GET to with my truck and trailer, top that with the fact that I'm "that guy" that tries to prepare for everything LOL! Here's what I will carry all the time;

Full toolbox, (including electrical connectors etc)
Tree strap (only useful once the winch is mounted..)
snatch block
Spare tire/wheel
jack
shovel
chain saw

I only carry extra fuel on long rides.

The problem with the Pioneer is the lack of tie downs. I'm working in rectifying that issue. Take a peek in mjn's build thread in a few weeks. I have something brewing in my pointy head....

Oh.. and BTW, with that thread title, expect some funny answers!

"need some help in the bed? What's she look like?" Hahahaha!!!

Fellas,
I appreciate it! TP - maybe the most important!
Snatch block - of course! I didn’t think of that!
I was going to substitute an axe for a saw! Thoughts? (I only have a 75cc saw).
Shovel is a great idea and I appreciate the jack mount!!!!
Removable and what to carry is helpful!! I need ideas. Like many I want to be prepared from r anything or be able to help anyone!
Tierod ends... great idea - thank you

Please share what your doing for tie downs!

I just ordered the can today

I have a hatchet in my tool box. I never leave on a ride without my chainsaw. I don't know what type of terrain you ride in though.. I ride a lot in North Idaho. You just never know when you'll come around a corner to find a tree across the trail.

Oh.. forgot;
small air compressor
full set of tire plugs & glue

I'm sure I'll remember more as time goes on :)

I just did 100 miles of rocky trails and both 5 gallon Jerry can and spare tire mount (aka dragonfire mount off of EBay) worked very well. Highly recommend the spare tire mount. I did have to add a piece of rubber from an old tire b/c our roll cage on the P5 is more like 1.6” than 1.78” but it worked great.

This is the EBay listing I bought the arm from, very well laid out including bolt pattern. I believe the lugs nuts he supplies are 14mm so I carry an extra wrench...

Looks like that arm could attach to the Honda rear bumper as well and it's adjustable, so you could make it fit tight behind the rack or most beds. Would sit lower and be centered, best bolt on spare option I've seen. Good sh** @uconn411 . ;)
