| Club Requirements: All Jeep Vehicles must have the following: |
All of the required equipment can be
found locally or online. Tow hooks can be purchased at your local Jeep
dealer as well as local auto parts store. (Walmart has tow hooks for cheap.)
When selecting a CB consider consider a vehicle mounted unit over a handheld unit. (A handheld works good when stationary, but not too well when moving) Midland and Cobra are well know brands. An external antennae is also important, so when purchasing you need to consider what that antennae will be used for. If you are looking for a high quality antennae Firestik makes a good one, but if you are looking something that gets used once a month then a Radio Shack antennae should do. Stainless Steel antennaes are the best. A fire extinguisher and a Medical Kit are important items to have in your Jeep. When buying an extinguisher make sure that it is rated for automotive applications. Also mount your new fire extinguisher in a safe an secure location. A medical kit should be well maintained and include the basic supplies for treating things such as minor cuts. Tow Straps can also be found at your local parts store, but select a strap without metal hooks. A Strap rated for 20,000 pounds should do. In the club all jeep vehicles need to have seat belts, roof support such as a roll bar or steel top. Your jeep can have a minimum of a 31"* tire and a maximum of a 33" tire. Metric tire sizes must fall into this 31-33" range. A metric tire size calculator can be found here. If you are unsure about your metric tire size meeting the requirements, please contact a board member. An all terrain/off-road tire is preferred over a street tire. A spare tire of the same size is required due to problems that can occur on the run. All other aftermarket equipment is not required.
