Here are the requirements for JKX as a start.

Lockers, Front and Rear
Sport Cage
37″ Minimum Tire Size for 4 Door
35″ Minimum Tire Size for 2 Door
Must be self sufficient with tools and spare parts
Must carry 2 Fire Extinguishers, First Aid Kit and Spill Kit
Working CB Radio
Winch
Working E-brake
Co-Driver must be over 18 and be self sufficient in vehicle repair.

I know you won't need all that for every trail but that is a good start. The biggest requirement in my opinion is to be able to get yourself off the trail if something happens. Whether it be tools to fix or knowledge of how to rig it to get to the road.

Unless I know for a fact there won't be anything hard, I typically require the following as a bare minimum:

1. Tow points front and rear
2. Strap
3. Rocker guards

So long as there's at least 1 CB for every 4-5 rigs and they are spaced out accordingly, you should be okay. Anything more a rig has is gravy. The harder the trail, the more the requirements.

Our club requires a first aid kit & fire extinguisher, along with what you already mentioned, which I think are great ideas for the just in case scenarios.

Ya, 90% of or runs would be gravel/dirt hills 35-55degree, water holes no more than 2 1/2 feet deep with somewhat solid bottoms. And very low rollover risk on almost all trails.
