Your video is cool....
Question ::: You drive in alot of water....which means
mud,, splashing.....water on windshield throwing
it all over.......
I SEE NONE OF THAT?
I drive slow(probably the biggest reason) and the fenders seems to work a treat. I took quite a bit of video showing the tires in and under water so you can see how the UTV handles it. Check out 30:30 in the video.

These guys FLY through the trails(Not permitted BTW, 15 mph top speed). You can see how their UTVs deal with the water too.

I do what I enjoy. There are places outside the preserve to go where one can ride as fast as one wants; it's not what I'm into. Old people, sheesh.

I searched the p500 section and did not see this addressed. I may have missed it.
I was riding this weekend and came across a guy on an atv that had loose lug nuts. He had after market wheels that needed a lug wrench or deep well socket to get to them. Got me to thinking, do I have every thing I need with me? As soon as I installed my storage, under seat and under hood, I placed several items I thought I might need.
Flashlight
Tow strap
Small air compressor
Tire plug kit
Can of tire goo
Metric end wrenches
Duct tape
Bailing wire
Zip ties
First Aid Kit
Wasp spray
Channel locks
Screw drivers
Fire starter, and lighter
So far I have used the tow strap, (tow someone else, not me), zip ties, (evidently someone forgot to put screw clamp on main coolant hose to engine, it came off on my second ride), wasp spray, (killing bugs in deer stands).
After trying to help guy with loose lug nuts, I realized I did not have a lug wrench myself. I thought then, I need an extra spark plug, extra fuel tank...?
What else am I missing, what do you guys carry with you?
Thanks!
I appreciate you guys taking the time to share what you take along. I see some things that I am missing and am working on incorporating them into my storage. I was an auto mechanic in a former life (30 years ago) and like to be prepared. Thanks!

Mounted a fire extinguisher below park brake, also have small snatch block that stays onboard. Plus a two handed axe, in addition to brush hook. Also pack (not mentioned) digital tire gauge. while at work the 70 cc chainsaw tags along for large windfalls.

I'll try and take pix of axe, brush hook and shovel storage as they are out of the way and quick to access.

With all these extra parts and tools everyone sounds like us when we were forced to ride Polaris, minus the extra wheel bearings,throttle assembly,bushings,spare belt(s)and one of the spare motors you have "laying around ":) just saying. But I'll concur because it's always better to carry something you probably won't need rather then need something you don't have! With Honda it's a drastically smaller list and you actually have room to do so.

I'd like to see the fire extinguisher mount, if it's no trouble.

Took the extinguisher bracket and bolted to the seat wall front, left a little space to account for floor mats. Accessed via under driver's seat port hole.
