Monthly CORE rides will fall into 1 of 3 categories.  Expedition, Intermediate, and Hardcore.  Each level is based on driver and rig capability.  The 3 tiers will allow you to attend rides that are best for your rig and personal driving skills, and encourage development of your skills at your own pace.  Each GATR ride will be designated as one of these tiers:

TIER 1 – Expedition: Rides that are based on a stock 4x4 chassis. Fun for the whole family. These rides will be a good way to introduce you and your vehicle to the sport. Get your feet wet and gain some experience behind the wheel off-roading.  These rides will not be challenging in anyway. Minimal/No damage expected.

TIER 2 – Intermediate: Rides that are open to all 4x4 vehicles. There will be challenges for stock to fully built rigs. Plenty of bypasses for lesser built vehicles. Some light damage/Broken parts can be expected, depending on how far you want to push your vehicle. You will have a chance to gain a lot of off-road experience on these rides.

TIER 3 – Hardcore: Rides for fully built rigs. These rides will not be for the faint of heart. You must meet the vehicle requirement set by GATR STAFF to join these rides. These rides are for the most experienced drivers.  Most trails on these rides will be difficult.

Be sure your vehicle meets all the requirements

If you can not meet the following requirements, unfortunately, you will not be allowed to ride with GATR until your vehicle is in compliance.

*** The properly tuned CB radio is how we communicate on the trail systems.  From time to time, we can not see or hear each other and this is where our CB's come in handy.  If you are on a budget, you can pick up one of the best "budget" CB's on the market for around $59 (Uniden Pro510XL). We do not require this be mounted in your vehicle. There are several hand held options available.
