    Than these should be a good start. Not necessarily this specific ones but if you plan on leaving pavement don't go without these things.

    Just earned 10 respect points. 1) Getting rid of the Mustang. 2) valuing a quiet ride. :thumbsup:

    20' should cover most situations.

    Get a solid receiver shackle, I got the cheap one off Amazon that is prime elegible.

    The same way your sleeping bag and cooler will.
