The following equipment is MANDATORY for KC Jeep Club events:
- Front and rear tow hooks should be properly mounted to the frame with grade-eight bolts. Drawbars or receiver hitches are acceptable as an alternative to rear tow hooks.
- All open-topped vehicles, including older models (CJs, Scramblers, and Willys), must have mandatory roll bars.
- A full-size spare tire. In case of puncture, a space-saver spare (donut) won't do.
- If your Jeep does not have the mandatory equipment, you will be turned away at the trailhead.
The following is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED:
- Skid plates covering the oil pan, gas tank, and transfer case.
- Rock rails for Jeep Liberty, Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee.
- Heavy-duty, 20'-long nylon tow straps (20,000 pound minimum) with looped ends (no hooks). Tow straps with metal hooks will not be permitted.
- A CB Radio. It is the only way to communicate with trail leaders and fellow members on trails.
- Fire extinguisher.
- First aid kit.
- A toolbox with basic tools for repairs.
OTHER ITEMS TO BRING:
- Pack a lunch and some snacks.
- Bring plenty of water.
