Post by: w squared on October 17, 2008, 07:34:50 AM: Fark. I'm out. I'll still be in Edmonton until early Saturday morning, and then have to drive to Montana on Sunday.

On the upside, I'm getting my hands on a factory soft-top for my previously hard-top only JK ;D
Title: Re: oct,18,2008 Trail Ride
Post by: LAHAL on October 17, 2008, 11:41:39 AM: Soft top is the way to go, but since your getting the soft top, get the quick release latchs. they make a world of difference.

Post by: LAHAL on October 17, 2008, 03:18:41 PM: I'm gonna do most of the CB radio installation tonight, but will probably need help mounting it to the tailgate tire carrier. I hope someone at the store will have tools to help me with this tomorrow morning.

I will be doing mine tonight as well. What do you need to mount your antenna? I could bring tools if you need... drill, bits, wrenches?
Title: Re: oct,18,2008 Trail Ride
Post by: LAHAL on October 17, 2008, 04:45:37 PM: I just need to drill the antenna bracket onto the stock tire carrier, and just ground the antenna. I'm gonna do all the electrical tonight.

So if you could bring a drill and some drill bits, that would help me alot.

Thanks,
Alex

Dom and I were out doing a trail survey north of Lost Knife Trail. We have been working with ASRD and a group of other volenters this year to map and survey some alternative trail routes in the Ghost FLUZ. ASRD issued us placards for our jeeps authorizing us to be off trail for that purpose. There are a number of peepole in the 4x4 comunity, quad group, bike community and some from the environmental side of the issues working together on trying to develop a plan for sustainable trails in the area. ASRD had put on a two day training course for thouse involved earlyer this spring, before issuing us the placards. It was a fun day to be out on the trails. I even got to take a drive across the new bridge on Meadow Creek Trail now it is done and back filled.
