Going out on saturday to do the falls. Its a pretty easy run, a lot of stockers can do it no problem. Meet at the smittys in cochrane at 9AM for breakfast, leave for the trail at 1oish
Run Requirements:
- Front and rear tow points
- Tires in good shape
- Fullsize spare
- Towstraps are a plus but I have a few
- CB radio would be great as well
-
Just finished our Jeep today,sounds like a good run to break her in... ;)
-
I am in for the falls saturday. I have only been there with ice/snow so it should be nice this time of year.
See you at Smitty's
-
I might be able to make this one too - if so I'll PM your Fraser and meet up in Shawnessy(thats where you live right) if thats cool
-
I will attempt to do some horse trading at work to get Saturday free so that I can come too.
-
were you able to get your tire fixed on warranty
-
I don't know just yet...more to follow on that.
-
can i bring my stock dodge fraser? ;)
-
I won't be able to make this one. I'm taking my boys camping in Banff and testing out the newly lifted Snowbear utility trailer. Got rid of the 12" rims and trailer tires and put my stock TJ 16rims/31" M/Ts on!
-
Update.
I checked with nath and this run can count towards the runs needed to be considered for membership. John, i've seen your tires and doubt they would get you through a wet parking lot. I also need a tailgunner

I've seen some sketchy things take place when folks don't have adequate recovery points. Since Fraser is leading, it's his decision...but I'd absolutely support him if he asked you to get a rear recovery point before going on the run.
If you post up in the "Jeep stuff wanted" area, you may be able to find someone with a stock recovery point that they will sell you for a very reasonable price.

I think we are going to let this one go by. We have some work to do on our baby. Catch you next time! :(

Im gonna assume that you have the stock front TJ hooks? Do you have a trailer hitch at all?
As long as you have good tread (60%+) you should be fine. I had to run this trail in 2wd after I destroyed my front end last year.
-
I think I'm out. Won't know till the last min, so don't wait on me ::)
-
I have the factory hook from an '04 Rubi sitting around...
Hey i like that. Feel like seelin it?
I have 2 Rugged Ridge 10k lb ers on the front and nothin on the back. I was looking into a hitch cause i really like the dirtbike thinger that you can buy for it. My tires are good silent armor aggressive tread but still stockish.
-
So far it seems like a good run. :) So far we have 7 rigs coming plus myself

Looking forward to this,Where is smittys in cochrane?And should I have all the soft top windows in ;D

I wouldnt worry about roof/windows, there are a few water crossings though. Smittys is next to the Husky, Motel 8 on the road in.
If anyone wants to meet, I'll be leaving from my parents place so we could meet at the chinook parking lot. I'll be leaving the lot at around 8:00-8:15. My cell is 403-862-7230.

I have me and my buddy in my rig..only one rig

Thanks guys, the kids had a blast. We had a really good time, and seeing the falls was a nice touch. All we heard about the next day was our wheeling adventures. I know that there were a ton of pictures going on that day, I was just wondering if anyone had snapped a couple of us. I was driving the black rig with the red bumpers. If you also have a pic or two of slim doing his run through the mud with his doors off, please send a pic of that one. That was priceless. Silly me, I never thought of using the ice scraper on the inside of the windshield to remove the excess mud. Good thinking!!
Thanks again for your hospitality, and I will see if I can make it out to your next event.
Cheers,
Randy

Thanks, I try. My friends say I put the *ss in Class. Rubber boots and shorts, it was a fun day. However, I would still like to see some pics. I will dig through the camera and post anything good that we have.
Cheers,
Randy
