I know for normal trail runs with the club that there are a few "must haves" (ie tow point front and back) but are there any for Jeep Jamboree?
I recall seeing a list somewhere, but can't seem to find it again.
Can anyone help shed some light?
This would be my first Jam so I want to make sure I have everything in order.
Thanks, in advance, for the help.

Mandatory:
.. FRONT TOW HOOKS - Frame mounted with Grade 8 bolts as per Mopar specifications.
.. Operational seat-belts for each person in the vehicle
.. Adequate oil and fluid levels
.. Full-sized spare tire. (If your tire goes flat, and you only have a safety spare, your
vehicle may not be able to make it off the trail.)
.. Skid plates covering the gas tank and transfer case
.. CB Radio
NOTE: If you are driving a Jeep with running boards and mud flaps we strongly suggest you remove them prior to attending the Jamboree.
Recommended:
.. Rear tow hooks
.. Heavy-duty nylon tow straps (20,000 pound minimum) with looped ends
.. Optional skid plates

Thanks.
Exactly what I was looking for, but thought it was on here in the Jam forum.

Vehicle Requirements
Vehicle Admission Requirements
In order to ensure that all registered vehicles are trail-safe, please note that each Jeep will be inspected by qualified mechanics prior to being admitted on the trails. Any Jeep that does not meet the mandatory requirements will not be permitted on the trails. Remember, safety first! Following inspection, each driver will receive a recommendation for the trail ratings that will be most suitable for their vehicle. Please note: should you decide to attempt a trail that is deemed inappropriate for your vehicle, you will be responsible for removing your vehicle from the trail should it incur any mechanical problems. In all other cases we will offer assistance in removing your vehicle. Remember that this is an off-road weekend; the NSJC does not assume responsibility for any body or vehicle damage incurred on the trails.
Your vehicle will be inspected for the following:
Mandatory:
.. FRONT TOW HOOKS - Frame mounted with Grade 8 bolts as per Mopar specifications.
.. Operational seat-belts for each person in the vehicle
.. Adequate oil and fluid levels
.. Full-sized spare tire. (If your tire goes flat, and you only have a safety spare, your
vehicle may not be able to make it off the trail.)
.. Skid plates covering the gas tank and transfer case
.. CB Radio
NOTE: If you are driving a Jeep with running boards and mud flaps we strongly suggest you remove them prior to attending the Jamboree.
Recommended:
.. Rear tow hooks
.. Heavy-duty nylon tow straps (20,000 pound minimum) with looped ends
.. Optional skid plates
What to Bring
What to Bring to NSJC Jamboree?
If you chose the Full Meal Deal, your registration fee covers camping accommodations at base camp, breakfast, lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday, as well as breakfast on Sunday, so the only food you will need to bring are trail snacks and beverages. You will have to bring the required amenities for camping like tents, sleeping bags etc. Use the following check list to make sure you come prepared.
Must haves for your Jeep
.. Insurance. Required safety equipment (see Vehicle Registration Inspection information)
.. Driver's license
.. CB radio
.. Full tank of gas
Suggested for your comfort and convenience
.. Cooler for storing your lunch, trail snacks and favorite NON-ALCOHOLIC beverages.
.. First aid kit
.. Extra clothing to wear on the trails, as you could get wet and/or dirty
.. Rain gear (waterproof) including rubber boots.
.. Comfortable hiking boots & absorbent work socks (an extra pair would be wise too!)
.. Hat
.. Work gloves (just in case you get stuck)
.. Lots of good insect repellent. Sometimes the bugs are as tough as the trails!
.. Sunscreen
.. Warm clothing for the nights
.. Recreational equipment (ball gloves, Frisbee, football, etc)
Don’t forget your camera and lots of film (if you still use the film type. If not, then lots of batteries)
If you’ve got one, a video camera is a fantastic idea!
