I will be acquiring my first Raptor in the coming weeks. While it'll of course make the obligatory trips to the mall, I intend to take it out regularly on the fire access roads around my area. No heavy duty rock crawling, just easy stuff for the most part. I'm planning on keeping the truck stock, but there are a few items I want to be able to toss inside when I head out into the dirt. Specifically:
Air-compressor and Deflator
Recovery boards
Two-way Radio
Is there anything else I should bring so I'm not that annoying newbie who shows up grossly unprepared?
For the air-compressor, what do you guys recommend? I keep finding models that go under the hood, but I'd prefer a portable one I could just take out of the car. I'm thinking it'd make sense to make use of the AC outlet in the bed. The truck will have 37's. Any suggestions? Also, is there a deflator people like? I just want to be able to watch the PSI as I let the air out.
For the recovery boards, Maxtrax seems to be the way to go. Is that correct? Any specific ones you guys like?
And finally, the radio. Is there any standard radio one is expected to have?
Thank you for your help!
