1. if you have an iPhone or android I would suggest Onx Off-road. You can download very detailed maps for off grid. It tells you what land you are on, has most of the trails. I use it.
If you want to buy a gps unit, I think the Gamin Montana with Onx hunt maps is the best and easiest to use. Mount it with Ram Mounts. Gamin Base Camp lets you look at things from your home computer and share gps tracks with others, or they can send them to you.
2. Totally agree, trailTank is taking pre-orders for a 10 gallon tank. I just ordered one.
3. There are now some others, but I haven't used them. So I like RotoPax spare tanks and their mounting system. Make sure you mount it on the inside of the roll cage, roll over fires are a real thing as a result of spare tanks puncturing.
4. Get an electric pump and a tire plug kit. Unless you totally blow out your sidewall or damage your rim, you would be amazed what you can plug. My buddies personal best was 43 plugs in a sidewall...and he drove on it for a while! I have the Pittsburg, its good. you want the best get a Vivair.
Suggest you buy a speed strap. You can use it to tow, be towed or if you need to change a tire attach to roll bar and your buddy can pull you up on two tires. We do that all the time. A bottle jack if you are riding alone (suggest riding with at least one other).
FYI, search through the forums, all of your questions have been recently posted and discussed. Great place for stuff, but don't hesitate to ask people like to help out.
