[JerMan75]

my first trip to the pines, i had a stock XJ with no recovery or spare.  there were a bunch of families there too.

[akhoopes]

ok but is there any requirements that i need, like straps or any other things i might not now have.

[ollllllo]

even thought this is not a mudnuts event
its not a bad idea to follow some of the mudnuts trail requirements.
They are for you and everyones safety!

 As long as you have tow points you should be good as far as i am concerned, i have a winch and tow strap as do several of the other guys from my club (if you had your own recovery strap WITHOUT HOOKS that would be a plus). Seeing how its a new JK all your saftey equipment should be up to par, a fire extinguisher and first aid kit are nice to have also just in case. CB not a big deal here, cause we will be in groups and/or fairly close together, but nice to have.

 Like i said on other forums you should try to make it out.

i would regard a CB radio as one of the most useful things in my rig.

[jasonw]

don\'t get me wrong a cb IS very usefull, I have one as do many of my fellow club members....but i don\'t think its an absolute must have for someone just starting out. There are other things i would worry about first, like recovery gear, extinguisher and stuff like that....

[ExplorHer4x4]

food for thought....it will be wet out there and
MUD ruins everything, brakes, pulleys, clutches, interior, body scratches, things may break.
And often voids manufacturers warranty when the frame is plugged with mud. ie. \'offroaded\'
That would be the biggest thing i\'d worry about wheeling a 2010.
but i\'m sure it could:) I\'d like to see all out there.

kinda like subaru, buy a wrx, you get a \'free\' scca memebership BUT if you race...poof no warranty for you!

I agree w smike,
We have wheeled with many other clubs that dont use CB\'s.
And its very difficult to communicate amongst a group that arent close buddies, with out one.
I have seen and heard of many rigs getting left behind because the leader of the group had no idea someone in thee back broke or got stuck.
Just keep it in mind.
MudNuts will be requiring CB\'s in ALL rigs for rides this season. portable is ok too.
In the age of IPODS, Satelite radio, and GPS, 75.00 on a CB and antenna is pretty cheap and long term investment!

[dgray69]

is this open to all rides, my expy is up and running 32 tsl supers, i dont want to be the pain in the a$$ who spends all day being stuck, but want to wheel, oh ya and im running 5.5 inches of lift, its not to low

[ExplorHer4x4]

your more than good! I\'d love to see another ford out there.
my 33 mt\'s tool around great:-)  we all get stuck....

[jasonw]

yup it\'s open to anyone....don\'t worry bout getting stuck, it\'s all part of the game. Come on out and have some fun

[FallibleXJ]

I may be joining. Depends if I get my new spare mounted before sunday.
