Requirements, PLAN NOW

I always say it needs to be in arms reach of the driver adn able to be gotten to immediatly.

As far as a CB, a handheld is fine as long as it has the coverage area that will work in the park and will pass a mic check in your group. If I am wrong, Rev will chime in.

I located my extinguisher between the leg of the driver seat and the side of the tub. Its fits in there nicely, has no way of breaking free, but comes out if pulled on. Like others said, within arm reach and able to be gotten quickly...

 

[Rev Den]

You are reading the extinguisher clause incorrectly.

It must be visibly charged, that means a gauge that we can look at to know it has pressure.

handheld is fine, lawn cher used one for a few years. Just be sure to bring extra batteries if it doesn't have a 12V adapter.

one question and dont take it as argument but why do we have to have our jeep registered? it might have been covered already but i missed it. thanks

guestion: i made this bumper a few years ago. it is 3in pipe thats about 1/8th in thick. it has a hitch welded in it. it is welded to the factory brackets with 1/4in plate on each side welded to the pipe and is bolted to the unibody.

it passed tech last year but i was just wondering if it`ll pass this year. ive pulled alot of fullsize rigs with it.

do i need to make unibody tie in brackets for it?

thanks.

 

[Rev Den]

Yes. Tie that sucker in to the Unibody, preferable with nutstrips.

and is there a specific way you want us to prove insurance and everything?

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

I'm bringing a letterhead from my insurance company that includes my year make and model and policy number. My jeep is insured as a rec vehicle like a atv or side by side so I don't get a card like I do for my truck.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

PM's have been sent to those who have inquired about the insurance.

 

[StoneXJK]

As for adequate tow points both front and rear, does a stock hitch suffice or a separate rear tow hook is required?

Stock hitch, as long as it's the 2" receiver (class III), is the preferred rear recovery point. Get yourself one of these and you'll be set:

available at your local farmers supply place (TSC or the like)

 

[99SJ_Ex]

Or grab a 2in tongue and stick a D-shackle through it (instead of a ball)... Thats what I've used just fine...

 

[StoneXJK]

Thanks 87Manche and 99SJ_Ex.

What about this as front hooks?

I suppose any shop can install it?

 

[99SJ_Ex]

High Country Offroad used to make this kit
http://motionoffroad.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=497

which is what I use and it works great, unfortunately, the company is out of business... If you could find something like that, it'd be better, but the kit you showed would be fine too...

 

[StoneXJK]

The High Country one looks nice.

After a little research I found a front hitch might work too:

[99SJ_Ex]

That it would. As long as it IS NOT hooks welded on, you should be fine!

 

[Fore Wheeler]

yes, YOU CAN NOT USE A HITCH BALL AS YOUR TOW POINT!!!
