Besides a full size spare do you guys have a list of stuff required to wheel with your group I know some clubs do

I got my rtt, sleeping bags,tarp,easy up,cooler,chairs , winch , high lift & base ,tow straps ,tree saver,arb snatch block, extra shackles , flashlights , chain saw,2 Jerry cans ,on board air,small first aid kit ,several gps units (nuvi,ipad2 with motionX & cell phone)

I am going to get soon a camp stove,full size spare,finish building my bumpers ,build sliders, water storage container ,I also want to get a cb

But what else should I think about getting I would like to be over prepared

We ask that you have a CB, but it's not absolutely critical. You'll just be left out of the conversation.

Don't forget toilet paper. Haha!

Honestly, you won't need sliders or bumpers for this trip. It's a slider optional trip.

And you have a rtt?! Cool! Mind sharing the details?



Good call on the tp.

I was planing on doing sliders soon anyway and I already have my front bumper tacked together and will finish burning it in this weekend that and I'm sure my trucks a bit higher than most oy you guys tb's

I was planing on getting the cobra 19 DX IV and a 4' fire stick but need to find someone close btpy to help me tune it when ever I do get it

My rtt is the 71"x94" camping lab tent I'm working on getting it mounted on top of my ARE topper for now until I get my m416 lookalike trailer done then it will go on that for long trips and on the truck for weekend trips like this
2011 Colorado Z71 Crew Cab 5.3 v8 SASed, 37x12.5x16.5 wrangler MT/R,recentered h1 beadlocks, Doug thorley headers, mbrp exhaust , ARE topper , rtt, x20 10k winch

If I wasn't already off the week after Easter I would have to think real hard about driving up. Getting to see everyone and seeing a rig like Anton's would be awesome.
