You need what ever tools you think you can get buy with. Obviously tools for tire changes and belt changes....but think about the what if band aid jobs. As far as the chase vehicle parts....Id carry as much as your pocket book allows. You never know what kind of carnage you will encounter......but a short answer would be....belts,axles,balljoints,tires/wheels.

My understanding is that it only draws the big power when you transmit. They are pretty heavy and I haven't seen any UTV guys use one, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't been done. Most guys use Icom or Kenwood 50 watters.

Drawing first is a mixed blessing at V2R. Obviously less dust, but you will be the first to clear the road...aka, the first to get to the slow quads that can't hear you, don't have mirrors and WON'T GET OUT OF THE WAY! Paint Ball Gun?
