as with all :
: events we will follow the guidleines set for MINIMUM safety requirements:
1. At least one, visibly charged fire extinguisher (Type B:C, or A:B:C).
2. First Aid Kit.
3. Adequate spare tire, Jack, and Lug Wrench.
4. Safety belts for driver and any passengers.
5. Adequate attachment points in the front AND rear of the vehicle. Acceptable forms of attachment points are: Tow Hooks of OEM or greater integrity, D-Rings, Shackles or Clevis, Winch.
6. At least one, 20ft, 10,000 lb Snatch Strap WITHOUT metal hooks.
7. A properly secured Battery.
be realitic and use common sense when you assess you rig's compliance with these rules.. if the fire ex is rusty its probably time to replace it.. has the tow strap been salvaged by tying a big knot in the middle?
here are some other items/ideas that are not required but highly recommended..
A functioning CB radio - permanent or handheld (This one should actually be a minimum requirement, and it is highly recommended!)
Appropriate Tools.
A 2nd Fire Extinguisher.
Duct Tape.
Rocker Protection or Armor.
Skid Plates (at least Transfer Case and Gas Tank).
Tires in Good Condition (especially sidewalls).
Critical vehicle fluids (engine oil, ATF, Coolant, Gear Oil).
For fuel, don't carry spare containers, just make sure you are FULL before you start the trail.
Hi-Lift Jack.
Spare Parts (especially hoses and belts. Machined parts if you REALLY are concerned).
Tarp, spare rope, trash bags.
Emergency Signaling devices.
Change of clothing/shoes, blanket.
Something to drink/eat, we generally have lunch along the trail.
