  • Minimum Vehicle Requirements

    After much delibiration and thoughts the committe have come up with the following requirements as the minimum vehicle requirements for the 2015 GTG. These requirements are NON-NEGOTIABLE! If you attend this event without meeting these requirements, you will not be included in any GTG activities.


    Minimum Vehicle Requirements
    • Registered and roadworthy
    • 3rd party property insurance
    • Fire extinguisher
    • First aid kit
    • Shovel
    • Snatch strap
    • Suitable recovery points
    • Air compressor (you will be airing up and down a bit)
    • Tyre gauge
    • UHF


    Recommended
    • All terrain tyres
    • Maxtrax or similar
    • Tyre repair kit
    • Sand flag



    Recovery points
    In the minimum vehicle requirements we have set, you will see that we have specified “suitable” recovery points. Given the controversial nature of recovery points we will offer the following as a guide to what the committee believes to be suitable!
    Original equipment tie down points: these are suitable for towing only. They are not suitable for snatching or winching.
    Outback Ideas recovery points (or similar) when used with a bridle are considered suitable for most recoveries including snatching and winching. These recovery points must be attached with minimum grade 8.8 bolts.
    ARB bullbar loops when used in conjunction with a bridle are considered suitable for most recoveries including snatching and winching, high tensile bolts with a minimum grade of 8.8 should be used on these as well.
    Towbars are considered suitable for most recoveries including snatching and winching, The use of a recovery hitch is needed for winching, and is also advisable for snatching. If using the hitch pin to attach the snatch strap this must be a minimum of grade 10.9 metric or grade 8 imperial. The towball MUST NOT be used for recoveries under any circumstance.
    Rated recovery hooks (10,000lb) securely attached to the vehicle chassis or on solid mounting points that are securely attached to the chassis using minimum grade 8.8 bolts or grade 5 if using imperial bolts; are considered suitable for most recoveries including snatching and winching, especially when used in conjunction with a bridal.

    With this topic having over 1400 views and no comments I take it that everyone is comfortable with what is being asked of them with the minimum vehicle requirements. Great to see.

          Bash plates definitely won't hurt ! Ones of the tracks is particularly rocky, and one of my bash plates copped a fair whack the day we drove that track. That sad nothing to worry about though and standard OEM should be up to the job :wink:

            Just a reminder to check your fire extiguisher and if need be turn it upside down and give it a hit on the bottom to loosen up the powder.

            Also it would be a good idea to open your first aid kit just to check use by dates and just remind yourself what you actually have in the kit.

            Just another friendly reminder for your local GTG committee member.

              Good reminder Vaughan.
              Just put a new first aid kit in the Prado (told Helen I got the new kit for the camper, but the old kit was checked and went there...)

              Must check the fire extinguisher though.
