Rubicon Ready:

One locker or two limited slips.

31" tires

Spare front axle shafts if you are running 260 joints.

Spare rear shafts if you have a Dana 35 or a 27 spline 8.25.

tow strap

tow points front and rear

T-case skid.

Appropriate gearing for tire size. For example: 31's could run stock 3.55's, 33's should have at least 4.11's, 35's should have 4.56's. Low T-case gears can make up for diff gearing deficiencies.

Spare tie rod and drag link if you are running 33's or larger and still have stock steering.

Stuff that is nice to have:

If you care about body damage, get some rocker skids. The 'Con LOVES to bite XJ rockers when running smaller lifts/tires.

Probably ought to have a bit of spare gas available if you want to run up to little Sluice and back a couple of times during the week.

Any changes? I pulled this list from here. Towards the middle of the page.
 
Nope, that's our standard 'Con requirement list.

New post with more details coming!

...and you must have the NAXJA required equipment as well...

1. Visably charged fire extinguisher(BC or ABC)
2. First aid kit
3. Adequate spare tire, jack, and lug wrench
4. Safety belts for driver and any current passenger(belts must be worn at all times while vehicle is moving!
5. Adequate attachment points in the front and rear of the vehicle
6. Snatch strap without any metal hooks
7. Secured battery(no bungee cords!)

NAXJA very higly recommends that all event participants have a CB radio.

NAXJA requires all listed items to be present and available for use for a vehicle to be permitted to participate in a event. Participants are expected to stow equipment and all other items within their vehicle in a safe manner, concious of the effects OHV use and possable shifting of items.

NAXJA Safety inspectors will use this list for safety inspections prior to any event. The safety inspector has final say in approval or rejection of any vehicle for event participation and may at anytime defer to a second event officer for additional ruling.

NAXJA expects each event participant to carry insurance and registration sufficient to meet the legal requirements of their vehicle state of residence and for the roads and trails traveled for the event.

NAXJA is not responsable for assuring an entrant's vehicle is legal for the roads and trails traveled in the event.

Thanks for reading.
