Thanks Scott & Dave. To keep things simple, the checklist requirements stand as is for now. The supporting members forum is open for discussions on club related matters & improvements. We'll like to hear your feedback & potential changes.
The decisions on the trail will be as always at the discretion of the trail leaders and/or attending club officers. Their decision will be final.
I agree. Let's please keep things simple.
Every situation can be different and so this has been written in a vague manner in order to ease folks into what they should prepare for when they take their truck off-road. This is all basic stuff and really should be common knowledge.
I don’t think we have to explain that fluid dripping from your truck is considered “excessive”.
IMHO everyone who goes off-road should have a trash bag in their truck.
Although I carry leak containment gear I’m not planning to prevent some noob from running Green type trails their first time if they don’t.
What is strapped down is up to the driver however during an inspection it is much easier to let things slide from an “All gear” rule than try and list every item in a truck that might or might not need to be secured.
A tech inspection is not about protecting the club from liability, like you say, we have the waiver. It’s about trying to keep our members safe and teaching folks what we consider responsible wheeling.
It might also prevent me from getting held up on the trail because someone I’m wheeling with is unprepared or did not know….
That’s right; it’s all about me and my good time…
