Lol i like you suggesting a run when im in town :D Awesome haha.
I might be able to make this run if I can find an available seat with someone. :)

I might be game for this Saturday if there's someone who knows their way around. Don't know the trails all too well yet. Not sure if the g/f wants to go or not. If it's a "not" I should have a free seat or 3 as long as I don't have to drive all over the city playing taxi.
Need to try out the new 35's. Don't have the spacers or tube fenders on yet, so can't disco or I'll shred my flares off.
I can bring a jackall, towstrap, winch, cb (if I can find the box a pretty ghetto portable unit too), CO2 tank.
I'll know by late Friday what my status is.
What's everybody thinking for time? 9, 10?
-
im game for saturday .. 9:30 at the store .. i got winch straps and a compressor .
i dont know the trails to well but we can always adventure and see what brings us where
-
I'm probably gonna miss this one too because my ride home leaves at 6p.m... last time i went to mclean we didn't leave until 7 :| ...
Plus i have a ton of errands to run while i'm down there now... *sigh* So I probably won't be coming. Sorry guys next time when I convince my girl Tammy to come we'll take the Mule out with you all :)
Thanks for the seat offer too!
-
I'm not a 100% confirmed yet, but I'll have an answer by this eve the latest... It all depends on what my daughters plans are..
9:30 is a good time, how late does everyone usually stay out for? I'm trying to determine how much gas the V8 is going to suck from my vain.. I don't want to carry a full tank with me if I don't have to??? I'm almost stock also, so I don't want to slow anyone down from their wheeling adventures. I have skid plates & front tow hooks.. I also have a small tow sling..
Cheers!
;D ;D ;D

your best off with a full tank cuz you never know what may happen .. theres been some trips that ended up being 24 hurs long because of bad conditions
always be more prepared that way your ready for anything . that even means food water TP extra clothes
and so far the people ive gone with dont seem to mind stock jeeps runing .
im a stock rubi with a winch
as long as you dont mind driving your jeep like a jeep then there shouldn be any problems
ill be out there tomorow
-
x2. I rode my JK out on it's 28" stockers a bunch of times. Just gotta love the skinny pedal a bit more and be willing to dodge a few more ruts. But it's a Jeep, it'll take it.
Assuming I can go, I'm usually up for trying to be back at the store before it gets dark. Cause it always seems if something's going to go pear-shaped it always happens in the dark... Then you're trying to get towed out at 11pm....etc etc... Mostly though it just leaves time to help out any person/rig from the day.

Thanks for the advise.. I'm always or usually prepared for those type of things.. I was even considering sneaking in one last camping trip out there, fold the seats down, pull out the air mattress & light a fire. :D
I'm unable to make this sat.. I only have 4hrs avail in the morn to play.
My sunday is wide open if things change for anyone?
In regards to driving a jeep like a jeep... drive it like you stole it! ;)
-

-
sunday might be alright for us we will let you know by tommorw eve
-
Okay, looks like Saturday's a no go for me, but I can commit to Sunday if a few people confirm to it.
Might have one or two passengers, if not shotgun seat available.
Am game for any time between 9-10 meetup, and can probably hang out all day.
-
ill be there sunday as well
-
You guys rock!
Sunday it is for me...rain, snow, sleet...doesn't matter...lol
So, meet at the store in Mclean @ 9:30?
Thank you...
-
Works for me. I'll be there on Sunday.
-
see you there
-
Hey,
I'd like to join in too. Does anyone in the "Sunday group" know McLean trails? I'm a little foggy on the names, but I know many of them once I see them.
What trail(s) do you guys have in mind?
D
-
the more the better ..
just show up
as for the trail pretty sure all you guys will like the one i took today
-
Hey guys im new to calgary and the site, i do have some off road experience but not a lot, i would love to go for the trail ride if someone could please leave me the details, thanks
-
Well how should I say this "WOW" great day at fisher east, had loads of fun, even Kerri drove some stuff she never did before. Will be glad to run with all of you again, Jeff when you get those pics let us know.
-
thanks you everyone for an awesome day .. sorry it took a bit longer then i thought it would be we all got out safe and with minor body work needed ..
by the way anyone have an extra TJ driver side mirror for sale :)
pm with email addresses or ill send you my facebook and you can veiw all the pictures .

I had a great time. Glad I got those tube fenders in. Chris's rig was a good indication on where my flares are headed....
35's ran sweet, only got stuck once. So big thumbs up for the BFG KM2's.
I came out with a pretty small damage tally considering some of the day's carnage: 2 flare clips are popped, and should be re-attachable, and my tailgate needs to be tweaked up a little after using my spare tire to spin my jeep around a tree. Other than that good to go.
As a side note - must get rocker guards... some trees were a little too "snuggly" for my liking today.
-
the jeep of yours ran awesome ..
and looks sick
-
I had a blast with this run & it was great to meet some other Jeep owner with the same interests..
Jeff & others,thanks for all your help with this run, ensuring that others were safe & all in all, very minamal damge!
I have found out what "belnd door" means! Not a good day for this to fail on you having to worry about temp all day..but none the less, nothing is broken..
Looking forward to antoher run, this time I'll keep the hood closed!!!
;D :P :D
-
Yeah, get the rad in that V8 of yours working and then you can really have some fun with that thing.

you know it!
I felt robbed of power due to all this also.. never ran the way it normally does.. I heard noises I never normally hear besides all the mystery sqeeks that are now gone..lol oh well, main thing is that she got me to work on time today..I love beating on the DD.. ;)
Sorry about the "jacked" thread btw! :-X
-
i must say, fisher east is definitly my favorite trail so far. what an awsome crew, no fear from this group, even with all those trees jumping out of noweres and attacking us, it like the blair witch in there. it was really fun, see everyone next run. cheers
-
im telling you those trees dont look both way before they cross the traill ..
you should see my oil pan and my skid plate its all bent to crap ..
