I was talking with a fellow buggier the other day and he was asking about some of the mods and gear I wear. I just thought that that might be
intersting to see what else people have or do.
I have a monster peg holder on a side rail of my buggy.
A Biner attached to the gooseneck to attach break lines to in a hurry and anything else I don't want to loose!
I also aside from armour and extras wear gaiters to keep my ankles dry(er) from the spray off my mud guard.
What extras do you have?

Cell phone pouch, and some wrenches in the pouch to take it apart and set it up.

Oh yes wrenches as well in a waterproof bag inside the buggy bag.

I suppose I bought my GPS and cell phone to use if I end up wrecked and miles away or on my own. I figure I can hopefully call 911 and they can send
the hover craft or a helicopter . :duh: The trick now is getting wrecked in a place that has coverage. :ticking:

A lot of my body armour is ice hockey kit.
GPS & mobile phone is a must here, just in case. There's no way to walk out of the desert alive in the summer heat.
I also carry reading glasses to read GPS & telephone call list.
I carry 3 liters of cold water in a heavily insulated Camelbak in my Buggy bag & powders against dehydration.
I have a spare kite, lines & handles & spare GPS batteries.
I carry a roll of duck tape in my buggy bag.
It's amazing how useful that has been.
Just 2 weeks ago one of the guys I was buggying with had the sole of his boot drop off. That happens here on the hot sand. I could wrap his sole back
on to the boot with duck tape. It did the trick & he could buggy out the rest of the day without problems.
I have a camera mount attached permanently to my back axle to shoot vids.
I wear goggles that protect my eyes better than any wrap around sunglasses against the dry desert dust that gets everywhere.

I like to to fly and ride while fishing for cobia on the beach. My wife and my bud John laugh their asses off when I check bait or whatever, cause I'm
still wearing my helmet and pads . It must look pretty ridiculous but I'm not
takin it off just to check bait and throw back out!If a big cobia comes along
the wife will have to catch it cause I'll be half way down the beach probably! we will see who is laughing then( I hope it's a90 # cobia)
