    Hi all – I love how organized this forum and the different trips seem to be. Just re-read the rules and I have a question.

    Is it necessary to have hitch/anchor points on both the front and the back of ones car to join? This isn’t really specified in the “Equipment that one needs for offroading” link.. I don’t have any on the back (yet).
    I can come up with at least a couple of situations where it would be very difficult to get “towing” assistance just from the front of the car.

    Thanks in advance
    -Jonas

    Hi Jonas. Yes absolutely, it is extremely important to have towing hooks on both front and the rear side of the vehicle. Thanks for pointing it out, no one has pointed it out before this. I shall edit the “Equipment that one needs for offroading” and include this. 🙂
