RULES:

Tech inspection:

There will be a MANDATORY tech inspection before you will be allowed to take part in any trails. We will be looking for vehicles that are safe and solid. We reserve the right to refuse trails access to vehicles that are considered to be unsafe. We will also be looking for things like: well mounted battery(ies), coolant catch can/bottle. Toolboxes hi lift jacks and driveshafts make good projectiles to hit you in the head. TIE THEM DOWN. Ratchet straps are acceptable, BUNGEE cords are NOT!!!

Seatbelts:

Seatbelts are mandatory for each occupant. Trail leaders will be checking for operating seatbelts. No working seat belt, no trail riding, PERIOD. Seatbelts must be worn while vehicle is moving, even while negotiating obstacles. If you have small children that require car seats or boosters please USE them.

Rollover protection:

Roll protection or "Sport" cage in soft-top is MANDATORY for front occupants. There must be substantial roll protection directly above and behind each occupant's head while seated in the vehicle. No roll protection, no trail riding, PERIOD. To clarify: The factory roll bar in LJs, SJs, and Samurais, or the targa "hoop" in Sidekicks/Trackers will suffice for the front seat passengers ONLY. If you plan on having folks riding in the back seat, you should use common sense. If there is any roll potential, they should observe from the sidelines.

Alcohol & Drugs:

Alcohol & Drugs are STRICTLY PROHIBITED on the trails!

This means NO alcohol or alcohol containers, empty or full or drugs, in any vehicle, PERIOD. Cooler checks may be carried out at any time. If any of the volunteer staff even catches a glimpse of a alcohol container or drugs, you will be immediately escorted off the trail and asked to leave the event. ZERO Tolerance, get it? However, a beer or two around the campfire never killed anyone...right? After a good day of trail riding kick back, relax and enjoy a cold one.

TIPS:

Drinks:

It's a good idea to pack a small cooler with your favorite non-alcoholic beverages and lunch for the day, as it can get hot and dry. Bring extras, just in case. Water is also a good idea. Carry out anything you bring in. Littering is not acceptable, not even cigarette butts.

CB Radio:

CB Radios are almost mandatory. Makes your trail ride much more fun when you can keep track of what's going on or who's just gone rubber-side-up... Keep the comments clean, and on the fun side. No music over the CB, and keep the kids off the air waves. Use common sense.

Tools/spares:

Please don't depend on others for these. We're all willing to pitch in and help, just be prepared. Make sure your truck is in good shape before you leave. We don't want to hear "I was wondering when that joint was going to go???". Please, no leaky gas tanks...right Jim? NOTE: PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL OBJECTS ARE SECURED PROPERLY. Flying objects are the cause of most injuries while trail riding.

Fire Extinguisher and First Aid Kit:

They're cheap, and it's just good common sense.

Muffler:

Have one that functions, unless you like the idea of doing all the trail rides by yourself.

Tow Strap:

Please bring a decent strap with LOOPS on either end and rated in the 20,000 pound range. 3" Shackles for each end will be needed also, which you can get at any farm store. Some of the trails are so tight, if the vehicle in front or in back of you gets stuck, you will be pulling them out, because there's no room to maneuver. You are responsible for Hooking up your Own Vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!

Tow Points:

In order to tow, or be towed, you must have somewhere to hook the tow strap to your vehicle, AT BOTH ENDS! And, the factory tow "loops" are marginal at best. It is almost mandatory that you have 20,000-pound-rated tow loops or hooks at both ends of your vehicle, secured to the FRAME by means of bolts or professional welds.

Air:

There is no air on site, and if you air them DOWN, you better be able to air them UP!!!!!!

Fuel:

Please fill up BEFORE you get to the park!

Campsite Noise:

As this is considered a family event, please try to be respectful and keep noise to a minimum when possible.

Last but not least: FUN!!!:

PJF Park is all about FUN. We want everyone to have a good time. Please be patient and courteous towards your fellow wheelers. Please be respectful of the rules and have a great time.

 

Please note: No trucks painted Sublime Green will be accepted on the premises.
