I am picking up a G5 turbo doo on Friday and heading straight to the hills, anyone have a rough idea on what tools a guy needs to pack on these sleds? I have almost everything I would ever need on my sidewinder and like to be prepared if needed. Thanks.

you can get thin versions of those wrenches that take up less space.

The mountain lab kit is pretty good if you want something quick and don't want to piece it together yourself. Buddy has one and it seems decent enough. A little bulky though.
I'd add an extra T25 to whatever you get in case you drop one in the snow.

my ratchet is getting pretty clunky and I had to add a few things to the doo kit... the problem is you might want a box and open end of each size... they give you one or the other. and none have 2 of the same size... BUT the case fits nice in the 6L box and the stainless tools don't rust...

Anything else I should be grabbing for this sled? All updates and recalls are done, it has a tki driveshaft retainer in it. Anyone put a lightweight can on one? Some weight savings to be had there for sure. Might throw a shorter riser on it.

i get that accessories are a big part of sales but that should come standard. particularly with hotter running turbo sleds and warm winters.

And their stinginess with Buds reports and warranty
