Hi guys,
I have a few questionas about if my jeep complies to the rules for Paragon. I am looking at the rules at http://www.paragonap.com/p_explore_rules.htm.
I am planning on buying 2 of THESE (http://www.quadratec.com/cgi-bin/sgin0101.exe?T1=12007+02&UREQA=1&UREQB=2&UREQC=3&U REQD=4&FNM=00&checked=Y) hooks to meet the tow point requirement.
I asume they give us the orange flag there or do we need to get one before we go?
Were it says: "All SUV/4x4 must be insured. PA State Law requires all ATV’s to be registered and insured (or conform to your States ATV Law)."It can be insured in NJ right? Not PA?
As for the spare tire requierment, My main tires say p225/75R15 1025 on them. They are about 28 inch diamiter and 9.5 inch with. My spare says p225/75D15 on the side. It says Temporary use only, do not exceed 50 MPH. It is about 28 inch diameter by 8.5 inch with. Sentinal02, would the tires you offered for me to borow work?
Thanks for all your help guys,!

sounds like you'll be fine
it can be registered and insured in NJ, if you dont have it registered or insured they aint gonna stop you, after all comp buggies aint.
Your spare is fine, hooks will work
You will need to buy the flag from them when you get there they are 3 bux

my 235's would work fine. the size difference is so small you wouldn't likely notice it. for the flag, you might want to check out walmart or someplace that has a bike section. i picked up one of my flags at a hardware store for 3 bucks and you can figure out how to mount it before you get to the park. i'd email paragon about the spare. it is full size though so i doubt they'll give you trouble. if they do i'll just bring one of mine.

i've never been hassled about fullsize spares, my buddy ran a 31 with what are now my 36 tsl's, they just dont want anyone running a donut.

You might want to double check that, I think you just need a parent to sign your waiver (I wouldnt know though, I just turned 18 last week 8) )
But yeah, I'm sure you dont need one to attend, Justin is 17 and he's been going on the rides...

You need the signature notorized if the parent is not there. I was lucky I got mine done last summer and they did not have that policy. I am 17 and I have been to that park 6 or 7 times without my father. :) He was there the first time but there new policy is that they have to be present or get the signature notorized. :D Hope this helps!

All they care about is that you have more than a space saver donut or a can of fix-a-flat to get you out of the park. They arent going to measure your spare and turn down your $35 if its an inch smaller. The last 3 times I was at the park I left my spare strapped to my trailer. The 2nd time, Kyle asked if I had a spare and I told him it was strapped to my trailer. He said have a good time and off I went. I dont know about you, but I dont want to carry around a 38" swamper all day.
Get the tow hooks and a handheld CB or family band radios (talkabouts). You will have a good time.

Yeah thats even better I didnt know you had that. I like the talkabouts because I got a hands free headset for mine. I use it to talk to my spotter while driving. They also work when your not in your truck too which is cool

No parent needed. They will just ask for your license and it will be alright. My freinds went with my on his birth and we were fine.
Talkabout radio suffient... we wont be able to talk to you... You dont need a CB but it is VERY recommended so you can hear whats going on and where we are going. The talkabouts are on a different set of freq. and cbs are on another. If you give me or someone else one then we can communicate with you.
Hope this helps!
