Vehicle Requirements:

If you have been 4-wheeling for some time, you'll be experienced enough to know your vehicle's condition and the equipment you should be carrying. Because you will be on the trail with other people who may depend on you or you may depend on them, we list the following requirements for vehicles attending our events:

4-wheel-drive vehicle (obviously!) Factory hard top, roll bar or roll cage (depending on trail). Functioning brakes (check them before you arrive). Snatch strap (Loops on ends. NO metal hooks on ends). Spare tire, jack, and lug wrench. First aid kit. Fire Extinguisher, secured near driver. Seat belts for all passengers! Tow hooks front and rear.

Battery bolted down (no bungee cords). Legal exhaust system. CB radio would be a PLUS Flash light. Leather gloves. Food and water Tools and spare parts as appropriate. Appropriate clothes, including for overnight. All interior items must be tied down or secured.

Also please read the "Trail Checklist" section above for additional vehicle requirements!

Tech Inspection

When you first line up for the Fall Bash your vehicle will go through tech inspection. The emphasis is on safety! We don't want anyone to get hurt and we'd prefer it if your vehicle doesn't get damaged (though we cannot make any guarantees). We will check basic technical items on all vehicles and then compare your vehicle to our Trail Ratings to determine what trails you can drive during the event. To be fair to all participants and keep down the waiting times, we cannot allow under-equipped or under-modified vehicles to drive on harder trails.

Trail Ride Rules

1. These rules shall apply to all participants on CNC-4x4 trail rides: drivers and passengers, including members, family, friends, guests and visitors. Please behave as in a family environment.

2. No alcohol drinking by anyone. Alcoholic beverages shall not be brought on the trail ride. Any drug use is also forbidden.

3. Stay on marked trails open for jeep-type vehicles only. Never ride off the trail, climb the trail bank, or drive on closed trails. Stay out of rivers and creeks. Observe Tread Lightly rules!

4. When winching, use of a tree saver strap is mandatory. Never loop a bare winch cable around a tree because it damages or kills the tree. Put a blanket, jacket or other object over the unwound cable to absorb the tension if the cable breaks. Carry a winch kit, including tree strap, snatch block and clevis. Wear leather gloves when handling winch cable.

5. No littering. Members are encouraged to pick up cans, bottles and refuse left by other people and carry it out for proper disposal.

6. Maintain vehicles in a safe operational condition, including license plate and state tag where required, brakes, set belts for every occupant, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, CB radio, proper lights, proper vehicle height, muffler and/or spark arrestor, roll bar/cage, spare tire, jack, flashlight, shovel, tree saver strap, snatch block and tools. Secure all loose objects in your vehicle before moving!

7. Participants must have liability insurance and other insurance required by home state. Medical insurance is recommended. Driver must have a valid driver’s license.

8. Always keep vehicle behind you in sight. Be sure he doesn’t miss any turn you made. Do not tailgate the vehicle in front of you. Rollback or reverse maneuvering is always likely in mountainous terrain.

9. Assist disabled vehicles whether they are a member of CNC-4x4 or not. Offer to help bring disabled vehicle out of forest. Help others, as you would have them help you.

10. Each member is asked to enforce these rules within his club and group of friends. The trail boss or leader cannot be everywhere, so it is the responsibility of all members to uphold the good name of the club and association. If someone you do not know is breaking these rules, politely ask them to stop and give them a copy of these rules. If they continue, record their license plate number and report them to the trail boss or appropriate law enforcement.
