If you were to accessorize your Tomcar, what would you buy? Would it be a spare fuel tank? Maybe an engine conversion? How about a bumper with a winch mount?

I would go for an additional fuel tank. These are exceptionally good especially when you are exploring a terrain which is remote and too wide.

A spare fuel tank was what I was thinking of, too. The last think I'd hate to do is run out of gas when I'm in the middle of nowhere.

I put a I-pod system, HID lights. winch and 30 ft. rope. also added one more back-up light to see better. changed to rhino rims & ITP tires. And pading to all 4 seats just to help my riding.. Now if i could only fix my lack of POWER with the tomcars...

@ Joe - There's a 120 horsepower conversion kit that you can buy, but that's about $7,500. Not sure if you want to go that route to boost the power. I like to accessories you've added. Any chance of a picture?

tongyun: I have looked at the kit, Not sure i like it,to much power on the belt ? Plus you put out 20,000$ on a new car and now 7500$ more.I have been in a new 2010 TM47,with the 4 cyc. motors . Tomcar fixed the power problem I think.But for those who have a car dose not help... I am working on pictures. Where do you ride,and what state?

As for me, I'm gonna add a sound stereo on the back. So that even if I'm exploring terrains it would still be nice with all the loud sounds while traveling.

Hello guys! I'm gonna add some satellite on it and some gps. I'll also make sure it has built in stereo and mp3 and dvd player so I won't get that bored when traveling.

Cool! I'm imagining a Tomcar like those in NFS when you said that. Ha ha.

For me, it's the padded seats. I want my rear feeling nice and comfy, and I like the idea of the back light as well. I don't want the additional gas, though, for safety reasons.

Sounds cool. What's with this motor? I have the standard motor for Tomcar when I bought it. But I never heard of this one so I'm just curious.

Satellite and some GPS? Not bad... I think that would only be useful for emergency situations or watching TV. Ha ha ha.

LOL. Well actually, that's where I got the idea of doing it. I really love music and love to hear some while driving. I want to make my TOMCAR to look really cool and I just guess loud speakers could be the start of it. :D

More than anything else, spare fuel tank of course! My driving might be spoiled if I run out of gas. After enjoying the tough terrains and the wilderness I wanted to be home.

For accessories, I would go for the rear storage. It is water-proof and can fit to any Tomcar standard cargo box. It will let me carry things as I go around.

A spare fuel tank will do for me. It is essential to have one especially if you travel to unknown territories for exploration. It is better to be prepared than fixing the problem when you are there.

Me too! a cargo box will be a great lift to me. It is so useful for me since I have loads of loading to do with the job I have.

I will go for a spare fuel tank dude. It is indeed necessary for me for the reason that I am traveling miles and miles. I feel more secure with it.
