Stocker Run and Trail Clean Up
Saturday August 19th.
The current plan is to take a run out to the falls in Waiparus. The trail is an easy one. Along the side of the trail is an old rusted and rotten utility trailer. In an effort to provide some stewardship of the remaining trail in the area I would like to see if we can’t disassemble and cut the trailer up so we can haul it out. Please bring hacksaws, tools and work gloves.
Minimum requirements:
Tires with good tread.
Mechanically sound jeep.
Front & Rear tow points.
Tow strap with looped ends (no hooks).
CB radio.
This should be an easy run with a small trail project as a bonus.
I would like to meet at Smtty’s in Cochrane and leave by 8:30 for the trail. I will likely be there by 7:30 for breakfast. New guys are welcome.
Please post if your interested.
Thanks,
Blair.

Hey I am very interested. Need better tires though.
will have to see if it complicates with work I'll get back to you closer to the date.
-
Barring any unforseeable misfortune I should be there. Give me a chance to run her and try her out.

You made the trail the other day at Mclean with those tires and this trail is much easier. You will be fine on those tires. They have good tread right? Aren't they just a street tread?
-
Put me down as a "Maybe"
Depends on 3 things:
1) If I'm working.
2) If I can get the parts to reliably run my truck by then.
3) If it's a "Jeeps only" thing, as my Jeep will be gone by the end of the week and I'll be bringing my F150.

To 80CJ yeah I made the trip, but the question is should I have?..
One of my tires is down to the wear bars so I want to swap it for one with great tread. Should be done by trip time.
-
ok seeing as I am comming up from the Hat... I dont have a CB but a Two way will work just a cheap brand from Radio shack??? Also should one bring a Jerry can w/fuel? Or will filling up in Camrose be ok for the trip ... Snit do I have the right place... Mental note make sure to double check the meet point before we go...
-
I did mean to say Cochran honestly
-
Buki, I've got a set of 235 R15 Toyo Open Country AT's mounted on cromies if you want to give them a go for this ride. 5 on 4.5 Better than Goodyear Wrangler GSA's.
Drop me a PM if you want to try them out.

More on the radio issue. In the past the club has utilized both CBs and FRS two way radios on the trail runs. However, on a few runs this year we have had safety issues due to lack of communications with two separate systems. I received some private messages form the more experienced members suggesting we should encourage all vehicles to use CB radios for added safety. If cost is an issue for a new CB then an option might be looking for a used handheld CB unit. One of the other website had a post indicating that used handheld CBs are fairly cheep at pawn shops. FRS radios are better than nothing but I think the trend is toward CBs only on Club runs. I think as a safety issue this is a good idea. I would suggest a used CB is a better investment if this jeep thing is going to be a habit. You also miss all of the jokes if you don’t have a CB. I will try to have a look around a few of the pawn shops in the north west part of Calgary and see if I find any used hand held CBs.
Does anyone have a spare hand held CB to lend to one of the new guys?
Filling the tank in Cochrane is more than enough fuel for this run.
-
Good on ya for taking on this impromptu trail cleaning :)
i agree 10000000% that every run should be cb only. Things happen very quickly out there and even quicker when something goes horribly wrong. If the 4x4 in question is in a precarious position with FSR only and the guy behind him is the only one that can see him and has CB only, you can see how this would be a crappy position to be in trying to relay messages. What if a simple STOP needed to be translated immediately? By the time CB guy screams it and someone else with FSR translates it, it is too late. A 2 type communication sysytem is not ever a good idea.
OR
you could be like all my wheelin buddies that have NOTHING to communicate with but ............ :roll:

Hey i'm in if the house sells and we don't have an open house this weekend. I know it would sound like that would be the perfect time to go but a pregnant wife with two large dogs isn't a good mix to leave behind to fend for themselves.
Now i too only have a FRS radio so what do we want to do with that rising situation?
But i do have a 00 TJ with 35's on a 4" susp. lift. and hopefully the "proper" winch plate coming in tomorrow so i can get my winch on. But the diffs are still open so i haven't been out much in her as to my nerveousness of breaking an axle on the stock 35 rear. Or just getting plain stuck with the opens.
Hope to meet you guys on Sat.

ok another quick question... Any CB radio will work and they will automatically tune in with everyone's that will be on the trail.? I have never used a cb, just a two way I priced some out at Circut City so I may just go buy one and end that dillema.
C u Soon

Most of the CBs I have seen in the club have from channel 1-40 as options. At the beginning of the run we have a drivers meeting and decide what channel to use. If anyone has a hand held unit with less channels then we would pick a cannel that works for them. Out of 14 or so runs I have been on in the last year I think we used channel 10 on each run. It seems to be a habit. If you are looking for a CB it does not have to be a fancy unit we are usually fairly close on the trail. There are two stores in Calgary that specialize in selling new units. If you have any questions about installing the unit ask online a few of the guys are good at offering suggestions.
-
CB channels are dedicated frequency for transmission and reception. All channels are tuned to the standardized specs regardless of make/model of CB.
-
I'm going to try to get out to this run in the Liberty.
-
The very first mod I did to my jeep was a cb
I didn't even ask about going on a run before it was installed
You can get them used through friends or co-workers, relatives and the internet
A cb is one of the cheapest and best mods u can do and it might mean the difference between driving off the trails or being draged off
A cb should be on the top of ur list ahead of lifts ,tires and even a winch
In my opinion
NO CB NO TRAIL RUN
-
Circut City so far is the cheapest ranging 79 to 139 which isnt to bad when you count your own safety. So the next question is whats the easiest way to install it or have it in your jeep I ride alot of times with the top down so it has to be quick removal so no one knicks it when I am not out on the trails. The radios in the work truck are permenantly installed and wired in. Any suggestions and maybe I can have this all organized before I get up there hehe

Yep it is still a go! August 19th. It will be a good place to start for a first run. The trail has an easy start, then over two log bridges, then a two river crossings, some ruts, a small clean up project and then back to a waterfall at the edge of the mountains. If we get done early enough then we might be able to make a side trip to Margaret Lake. Bring your lunch. Please make sure your vehicle meets the minimum requirements listed in the first post. As far as tools most of us carry a selection of tools in our jeeps for trail repairs. It is a good habit to get into.
I will be putting up a list of things we need for the clean up project closer to the run.
-
I would like to go for the drive, havent seen much of the W area and looks like the planets might line up - will keep an eye out for your tool's req posting as I just picked up a shiney maul (aka BFH) at cdn tire and think it might come in handy for the dismantling :D ....

Hey, Roadking Truck Stop on Barlow Trail in Calgary has a Radio shop within it that has some great deals on CB radios. Apparently you can get a mobile CB for as low as $79. I am sure the guy might have some used ones even cheaper... all you would then need is an attenna (which he also has there) and to do the install.

Sound like you are good to go. 8)
The more you go out on trail runs the more stuff you start to carry in your jeep. A good place to start is one of those all in one tool kits with sockets and wenches. They have lots of the basic tools and they store well so things are not rattling around. Next, I think a first aid kit is a good idea. This is going to be a fairly simple run and we hopefully won’t have any problems with the jeeps. It is important that you bring things for your own comfort, safety and anything that you think your jeep is likely to need.
On most runs I carry some tools, some extra fluids for the vehicle, a big container of water, lots of food, first aid kit, tow strap, fire extinguisher, extra change of clothes, maps, compass, small shovel and often my pit crew who are 4 and 7 years of age. :lol: :lol: As this is a first time run for a few people we do not expect that everyone will have their jeeps packed with all this stuff. You just start adding things as you go on more runs.
At the beginning of the run we will have a drives meeting to go over some safety rules. I will talk about what kinds of things people should carry with them if they are going on more and harder runs.
As far as the trail clean up part of the run we will be disassembling an old utility trailer, haling the parts out and cleaning up the site. Some of the things that will help with this project: work gloves, safety glasses, hack saw, hammers, pry bars, shovels, and garbage bags. It is important that anything you carry in your jeep should be secured down so it can’t hit you or your passengers on the rough parts of the trail or if you rolled the vehicle. I am sure I will think of more things in the next two weeks. I am going out to look at the site this weekend and will have a better idea after that.
-
Ok, Kinda stupid question, but still kinda new to this. I have a very stock YJ. I Dont have rear tow points on my rig but I have those BUMPERETTE thingies. Will these work?? did not have anything else on the last run.
AND whats a good cost for every thing needed for min. requiremints (just a ball park). I was also going to post in the wanted sec. for used things needed. Please check me out there if you have anything you dont need anymore. I want to be very prepared for anything. Just cause I didnt need it last time, doesnt mean Im not gona this time.
Thanxs Mike
-

I am glad you asked, ABSOLUTELY NOT
Tow points should be BOLTED to the frame with a minimum of grade 8 bolts. The bumperettes are just thin steel and not nearly strong enough.
-
I'll try and make this trip.
-
I'm going to go ahead and call a no-show on this one.
As I'm not a religious man, it's against my nature to believe in miracles.
And believe me, it would take a miracle for me to get my complete steering system, fuel tank, front suspension, tow points and CB done by the 19th. :wink:
Hopefully I'll see you guys around though. I'd still like to make it down and go for another trip with Ian, Dom, Gregg and the boys before they take ALL the wheeling away.
Take care,
Kris

Blair,
Can you get pictures of the trailer, it will give people a better idea of what they're up against. If I do make this run, I'll bring the cordless sawzall along.
Vince
-
Blair, Bob, and I did a run out there last weekend. The trailer is nothing more than a frame now. Just a bunch of rusted out angle iron is all that is left. Sawzalls will make it a very easy project.

Hi
Sorry I have been off the forum. I have been away to the APEX Jeep Jamboree, what blast. But that’s for another post.
The trailer clean up will be easy. We went and checked the site a week ago. Someone has removed the wooden body of the trailer, most likely for firewood. The axels are gone. All we need to do is make a couple of cuts in the frame of the trailer so we can fit it in the vehicles on the run and then we can hall it out. We have permission from the M.D. of Bighorn to drop it at the land fill site on Hwy 40 on our way out. The ease of the clean up will free up some time and we hopefully can show the new people Margaret Lake. If we have a few sawsalls then it will be quick work. As a long weekend has just passed it is hard to say what other garbage we may find along the way. I think it is in everyone’s best interest that we make an effort to show we care about the way the trail looks even if we have to stop and clean up the mess left by less responsible users.
If you can let me know who might have a sawsall that would be great. I will bring a couple of hacksaws as a back up. If we have a larger vehicle on the run we may not have to cut much.
-
I'm kinda committed to another activity that day, but if things fall through or I change my mind then I'll be there. If I come then I'll probably bring a portable generator and my sawsall, and a side grinder.
Josh

Might come out for the day, gotta work on the CB issue in the new TJ.

What's the call on bringing young`uns? Got a 7 and 8 year old brother and sister who'd like to go wheeling for a day to see what it's like.

i can bing a sawsall and inverter

No problem at all, CJA runs are always family orientated. We often have future jeepers with us :)
-
this would be a perfect run for the young'ins.
-
I would really like to see the way to Margret lake. When I was a young'n we used to go fishing up there. It was amazin, and the fish oh so good. Is the fishing up there good still??
I am so looking forward to this run!!!!!!!!
-
A guy in at work was out within the last couple of weeks and said there's also a trashed camper trailer by Danny's Hill, anybody know anything about it?
Vince
-
there was a trashed camper on the entrance to lost knife. the thing is stripped and supported by 2x4.

That sounds good. My seven year old girl can tell the difference between TJ's,YJ', and CJ's, and is pretty gung ho for a wheeling trip.

Yeah, I talked to the guy again and that's the one he was refering to.

Only one week to the clean up run.
I have received written conformation from SRD to go ahead with the small clean up project. I hope all the new people are excited about comming out. :D The trail will be easy, even for stock rigs, but it will get you into see some great scenery and meet a few of the club members.
Please let me know who is still coming.
Leaving Smitty’s Cochrane 8:30 Saturday August 19th.
I will be at Smitty’s for about 7:30 for breakfast.

Are the stock two hooks on a TJ sufficient? The two open hooks on the front, and i believe a loop in the rear.

Yes, The TJ stock stuff is fine. We just want to make sure that we can pull you out safely if you get stuck.
-
hey,if i get my jeeps wiring done by then i might come out :) does the trail have alota mud?
-
Okay, I think we might be coming along. But, I neecd front tow points. I'd post a wanted ad, but Buki seems to be having trouble getting tow hookjs himself, so I don't want to jump in on his joy.
If the PA ones don;t fit because they are TJ hooks, where can I get some front tow hooks?
Really.....I'd hate to miss this due to not knowing where to get front tow points (hooks or some kind of shackles I can get on there) for a YJ. :(
-
I bought a tow hook at P Auto yesturday. I am going to try and install it tomorrow. $10, ill let you know how it works.

is this a jeep only run?
-
is this a jeep only run?
Doug, it is not specifically a Jeep only run but whatever you plan to drive must meet all the minimum vehicle requirements posted.
-
ok sounds good i may or may not be out... if im gonna be there illl be at the gravel pit (bronco 2 on 33's)
-
Looks like the Liberty got through the Apex JJ unscathed, so I'll be there. Not got much in the way of tools, but I will have the back and rack of the Liberty for hauling stuff out.
-
All I'm lacking is the CB. Anyone got a handheld dirt cheap? Thanks.
-
same,i need a cb,anyone have one for cheap?but a good one?
-
I don't have a spare CB but I do have a 4' Firestik antenna sitting in my garage gathering dust if anyone wants it.
-
how much you want for it?
-
im interested, how much?
-
Nothing, it's doing me no good in the garage. :)
If anyone wants to take it off my hands, I can bring it to the run on Sat. and you can all fight for it. :twisted:
Edit: there's no mount or bracket with it, it just ends at the screw fitting. I think they're pretty cheap to pick up though.
-
I'll take it and i'll be there saterday. I drive a red jeep TJ columbia edition
-
same,i need a cb,anyone have one for cheap?but a good one?
I have one you can have for free. It came in my rig and I haven't ever tried it because the antenae broke on the drive home. If you want it you can pick it up from my place and hope it works when you get it home. PM me if you're interested. ....Steve
-
ok sounds good i may or may not be out... if im gonna be there illl be at the gravel pit (bronco 2 on 33's)
Did you pick up that black one from Bill?
-
i am planiing to once i get my wheels but ya it will be the one from bill
-
I will see you there at 7:30. I look forward to the task and I hope I can be of some use.
Only one week to the clean up run.
Please let me know who is still coming.

I'm working untill noon that day... I would have been fun to go back to Waiporous ...just for the memory.
You guys have fun and be careful it's the mating season for the South Western Alberta Barking Spyder. They are verocious.
Cheers 8)
-
Hey, count me in.....see you at smittys.
-
count me in , another tj owner will ride with me as they didnt have a cb but still wants to see some of wiaprious;
slight chance I will bring one of my little ones too but they might sit this one out ...
we'll see you there ....
-
Glad to hear you can make it. The trail is easy, my kids will not be making this trip as they are out of town, but I took them in to the falls a few weeks ago and they had a blast. Kids are always welcome on CJA runs. I will have the waver form for children with me if you decide to bring them.
Thanks
Blair

I'm not saying I'm in until I'm sure I get everything ready to go, as we are currently ripping the house apart for renovations.
Coming from Sylvan Lake.....where's the best place to gas up?

Most people gas up in Cochrane before breakfast.

As I figured...thanks. :wink:

If I was coming from Sylvan Lake, I think I would go down hwy 2, and take the Olds exit, Hwy 27 ?, then south on 22 to cremona, Gas up at the Petro-can. head south a few KM to hwy 579 to water valley. hwy 579 changes to gravel a little past water valley then keep going untill I hit Hwy40/734 then head south about 7 km's and meet us at the gravel pit at 9:30 ish. You would miss breaky at Smitty's, but you could probably sleep in for another hour. :)
If you left the gas station at Cremona at 8:30 ish that would put you at the gravel pit at about the same time as us.
-

Ok, I think Im ready. One problem though!! I cant seem to get my CB to work. I am not getting any answers back when I say "TEST, can anybody hear me test". Now is this the right lingo or am I on crack.
Everything looks like its working, but I dont know anything about CBs. Now I know that this should probably be in the CBs thread but this one seems to be more active. AND ITS DOWN TO THE WIRE!!! Does any one have an extra hand held CB, or no where I can get one for REALLY CHEAP, and possibly take back, when I figure mine out??? Or perhaps will a 2 way radio work for this run ONLY, and I promise to either get a NEW CB or figure out what is wrong with mine!!!
-
Mike, I have another Cobra that you could use, only problem is I don't know if it would work or not, as it's second hand. I haven't had time to wire it in or not. Ended up mudding and sanding again this evening, having supper right now.
Good news is tow hooks, strap, and cb are ready for the run, just need put in the jeep. I did manage to get the antenna mounted on the rear brake light bracket, though.
I'm having supper right now...I'll try to run out and test it out in a few minutes and let you know if it works or not, although if no one was on in your area to answer, you might not be getting and replies. ;)
Edited: Both seem to power up, but I seriously doubt I'd be getting any answers at 12:20 in the morning. I'll check them further tomorrow, and let you know if I have an extra for you.
-
Yahoo! I'm in! My first CJA run and with the new lift to boot! See y'all there! :D

Thank god. You rule.
are you still coming or are you going to still be workin on da house???

Oh, I'm still working on the house, but I am planning on coming. Funny story about that - I'll tell you tomorrow. :roll:

I think I will probably just do the Smitty's thing, as I'm sure the pit crew would enjoy that. Thanks for the directions, though....if I'm still sanding drywall at 7:00am I might have to use them. :lol:

Looks like I'm out. Tow hooks from PA won't fit, contrary to what I was told by others.
Unless an act of god happens, I'm screwed.
-
im still in but it looks like i lost my inverter, so no power tools for me
-
*sigh* I did my best. I managed to catch Rocky Mountain Off-Road before closing to get a proper strap but no luck begging, borrowing or stealing a portable CB. I've spent my evening trying to buy one in this town and no chance - Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire, Future Shop, Best Buy, even Peavey Mart and London Drugs. I've been everywhere. I did find one Cobra unit but no source of power as they didn't carry the charger. That was after 20 minutes trying to get someone to unlock the glass case in the first place.
Anyone know a 24 hr truck stop in Calgary's west end or Cochrane area that might carry a handheld CB to sell RedDog at the crack of dawn?
:cry:
-
Truck stop at Barlow and 50th Ave se sells CB'S. I found the Esso to have a good selection
-
Okay, I think I'm coming. I really do. Not sure, but I think I am.
Anyway, not an act of god, but rather an act of stupidity, as I realized that the pretty much stock ZJ I'm trying to sell has front tow hooks on it. Not the YJ, but it will do.
Calibrated my CB, seemed to be fine. Only problem is I have the same think as Buki....I can't hear anything on it.
How do I know it is working?
-
Do what I did. Go down Barlow around the truck stop. There's a fair bit of CB chatter there. :)
-
Bit of a run from Sylvan right now.....
-
True. :)
Just hit the highway and follow a semi then.
-
If anyone reads this before you leave tomoorow. Please bring some extra bolts to front YJ tow hooks. I have 2 good tow hooks but only one bolt. I should have checked before I started wrenching, its really late 2:15 am. I think Im over tired. Im going to come out, Ill probably get sent back home. BUT at least I tried. I really REALLY tried!! Even had CABLESMURF drill me a tow hook for the rear and bought a new CB.
Cable smurf kicks arse. you all have been so super nice, I really appreciate all of everyones help. Ihope to see you all tomorrow. BUT its bed time. Wait, who am I kidding I have to be up in 2.5 hours to leave, might as well stay up!!

Thanks man! I was on the prowl at 4am and found them on the net, location map and all. It looked perfect. I fired off a CB inquiry but the email was returned as no such address. I called and got cut off. I called again and after being on hold forever, nobody could be found to deal with CB stock issues. Obviously I wasn't going to drive from Red Neck Deer to SE Calgary at 4am with no absolute certainty of proceeded on to Cochrane for breakfast properly equipped. Looks like it wasn't meant to be for this weekend. :cry: I'll get this CB radio business sorted out and be set for next time. It's the last missing component to full compliance for a run suitable for stockers.
Still have an itch for the road and the outdoors though. Might truck on down to Drumheller and park myself on the back patio in the sun at the Rosedeer Hotel/Last Chance Saloon in Wayne if anyone's interested. Silver '05 TJ in black soft top mode.
