The one thing that is highly stressed is the tow points, though.
hooks that ripped of that awesome unibodyassgas:Gerr said:I was told this year they will do inspections before the runs leave in the past it was up to the leader of the run but it lead to some fishy vehicles going places with welded on hooks and such

Never! put some rails on an aussie in the front and a cb. jeeps are made to be wheeled!phreaker76 said:Yeah after I read the list of shit you need I decided I better pass on big bear. Looks like I have to do A LOT more work before i'm ready. I'm wondering if I shouldn't just make this thing into a mall crawler and pass on the serious off road stuff.

sounds like a planbburge said:1. Visibly 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
5. Adequate attachment points in the front and rear of the vehicle:
1. Acceptable forms of attachment points: (All Items must be mounted in a manner to provide adequate strength and integrity)
2. Tow hooks of OEM or greater integrity
3. D-Rings
4. Shackle/Clevis
6. 20ft 10,000lb snatch strap without any metal hooks

The only one that is hard is #5!!
--You can borrow #6 (I have one I will lend - with appropriate deposit ;-) )
--#3, #4 & #7 should be pretty easy (already done) unless you're doing some real redneck junk work
--Grab a handful of band-aids and call it #2
--Grab a handful of wire coat-hangers and a big bag of marshmallows and call it #1 (make sure to bring enough for _e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e_ :flame: )
But seriuosly - $20 at Costco will get all the fire extinglisher you will need...

In regards to BBQ, we are still working on the prices, but it'll be a really good price. In the recent years the objective was to break even on the food. I don't think anyone (including Johnny ) walked away hungry or unhappy with what they got for their $
Btw, it's bring your own beverage event.
Raffle tickets this year will be $2 a ticket.
