Open Run - January 29th.
« on: January 14, 2011, 07:26:27 PM »
We're having an open run January 29th, heading out to Waiparous.

I want every one lining up behind me so there are plenty of jeeps to push me up any snow laden hills that we may come across. I am running open diffs so this will be gentle.

Requirements:

Ample warm clothing, change of clothing and shoes, and plenty of food and water for everyone in the vehicle.
31" or large MT's in good condition and a full sized spare. Please plan on airing down to 15 psi or lower.
Solid front and rear recovery points.
Signed waivers for any non-CJA members in attendence.
Vehicle in good mechanical condition.
Full tank of fuel.
We recommend a functioning CB (ch 10) or FRS (ch 2)

This run is 100% family friendly, so kids are welcome.
Its winter and there is always a chance of body damage so be warned.

Meet up in the parking lot of Smitty's at Cochrane by 9AM. We leave there at 9:30.

Note: There is a weather advisory for Southern Alberta overnight and on Saturday. -15 to -18 temperatures forecast, with heavy 5 to 10 cm of new snowfall expected or Calgary and surrounding area.


This will change conditions of course. After the previous warm weather you can expect icy conditions with fresh powder on top. It will naturally make the run much more challenging.

It will be even more important that you have additional warm clothes and those things specified in the requirements (top post in this thread) for this run.

Any non-member on a CJA sanctioned run has always required a signed waiver.

It basically says they aren't liable if there's an incident, or that you agree not to be a bad 4x4ing example (drink, litter, drive out in the river etc).

Might be able to make this one as well! Will be out on the 23rd it looks like, so as long as the xj survives that one, I dont see why it cant come out again on the saturday :)
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

No worries at all.

Some open runs aren't sanctioned - they're thrown to gether casually. This one happens to be sanctioned - meaning that it's on it's "official" CJA run, it's lead by a CJA member, it's on the CJA calendar, and counts towards the trail runs portion of the CJA membership requirements.

Cool well I'll definitely have to try to get out to a few open runs.  It looks like there might be a Beyond Waiparous run on the 30th so I might have to go on that one this time.  Not that I'm a bad seed or anything.
