Is anyone interested in going out again next weekend?
I am hooked and cant wait to get out again.
Thanks again to Jen, John and Jim we had a blast on Sunday.
-
I would like to go out on Saturday if your up for that. I am up for MacLean or Waiporous.
-
I'd be down for headin out I had to cut my last outing short, I have a bias towards Mclean but really either will do
-
I might be up for coming out, although i no longer have a working winch. i will know more closer to the weekend.
-
If we can get John to come out again he can use his winch. We all know his works and he likes using it. haha
-

i doubt it guys. need to swap out some front end parts and fix a tire. always willing to winch The Pookapotamus out though ;)
-
Sorry JohnnyC I was taslking about TurboJohngt. He got to use his winch on Sunday when we were all out.
-
Dammit.....And i JUST finished washing it inside and out! ;D What the hell sounds like fun. :)
-
ok i feel bad i think mine still has mud from the 101 on the seats ::)
-
"sigh" removing carpets made cleanup alot easier but I haven't had to hose the jeep out for a couple of weeks now so I'm due. What day works best for every/anyone? I kinda lean towards Sunday...kinda like church for me, getting out and enjoying a nice run. But flexible on days and where. Been out to waiporous a couple of times but just for a Sunday drive like wheel solo. Just starting to figure out McLean a little and it's a close easy area to get to from Calgary. Poor 4cyl works hard getting out to waiporous but I hear "the lake" or "the falls" are really nice to go see. Wouldn't be much help guiding but I'm getting pretty good at getting los...exploring! Pook, remind me what you used to paint your floor with...think it's time to seal up the inside if I insist on filling it up with mud. Look forward to seeing everyone again, sorry about the winch pook, kinda got us turned around and we fried his poor winch, need to get one myself and would buy used if it was a great deal otherwise I'll try to find an okay price on a new one.
deal, otherwise leaning towards finding a okay price on a new one.
Ramble...ramble... I mean I'm in.

i am in for saturday!
@ mike s i used a cheep spray on bed liner from princess auto it works ok and looks great but its still cheep. as for the winch its not really that big of a deal as it nevery really worked well to begin with i am looking forward to putting a nice warn on the front!
-
I'm in for saturday. I guess we can do MacLean ?
Gotta do some work on my little car on Sunday. Good old maintenance
-
saturday at mclean it is! is this a jeep only deal or can my buddy with a stock xterra come too?
-
I'm down for saturday,Gonna take out my rig this time. :)
-
I'm sure if your friend wants to come out to Pookapotamus that should be fine. As long as they have tow points...and a full size spare it should be good.
-
Would you guys be willing to wheel with a couple newbie teenage wheelers that day? I went out last weekend with my father and his buddy who taught me some stuff, got our new JK nice and dirty, and I was planning on taking a friend out on Saturday or Sunday anyways... Got a stock '08 JK with a nice Warn 9500ti on it, no lift or anything though! I was planning on going to MacLean or Waiporous anyways since they're the only two places I'm slightly familiar with (Waiporous more so since I hunt out in that area in the winter, mainly the Fallen/Burnt Timber areas)...
I'd love to get out to MacLean and learn some of the trails though! Any takers? Where/when would I meet you guys if I come out?
Name is Kevin btw.
-
how does 9:00 at the mclean creek store sound to everyone?
-
Yup 9am at the store sounds good. That way we can hopefully hit trails around 9:30-10.
Zero your more than welcome to come out.
See you all saturday :)
Jenn
-
See everyone out there. I have to jet early. I have to make it back to the city for 3 O'Clock but I will come out for a while.
-
crap! i am not going to be able to make it! i knew i spoke too soon! :'(
my dad passed away recently and we made place to scatter hiss ashes on a hill he loved but i totaly forgot about it till just now. :-[
hopefully i can get out again soon, everyone have fun!

I am sorry to hear about your Father. Not to worry we will all make it out again sometime soon.
Does this mean that the stock Xterra isnt coming out anymore? I wanted to see if those were only for looks or if they were good at going off road. How well do Xterra's do off the road do you have any idea? I think they are nice looking but I want to know if they are worth it.
-
Sorry to hear about your dad Dana. Hope all goes well for you and your family he left behind. I'll be thinking about you while I'm looking for "My Hill" and I mean that in a kind way cause away from the city enjoying the beautiful outdoors is where I like to spend quality time. Sounds like your Dad felt the same.
Man I hope his favorite hill wasn't "the ridge" cause I'd feel even more stupid.
-
where do you think your favourite hill is Mike??
-
Crescent hieghts on a nice evening with the top down is okay...but the best require 4low and should have a rewarding landscape view at the top. Lots of trees and less traffic noise.
-
See everyone at the store at 9 :)
-
I guess we will meet up on another day Tinkerer.
See everyone tomorrow at the store at around 9.
-
Yeah I'll be there around nine as well, probably closer to 9:30 though
-
Sorry gang,I'm out for today had a few thing come up that I need to take care of.Have fun out there!
Cheers,John :)
-

Was a pretty fun run there guys! Thanks for the tips and all that whenever I asked!
-
Mike I am working on getting a link up for you.
Jen can you tell Ryan that the rattle that we asked him about on Saturday morning that we thought was a rock in the brake turned out to be my front drive shaft. I am running two wheel drive for a while until we get that fixed.
Thanks again for everyone who came out Saturday.
-
I will let him know Richard...did you figure out your check engine light??
-
I forgot to ask about the engine light. I think I have to find someone with a computer and hook up my Jeep to see what the engine light meant. When I do find out I will let you know.
-
pull the trouble codes. do you have a haynes manual?
turn the key from 'off' to 'on' three times in a row. do not turn jeep on. cyle it on, then off, on then off, on then off. on the third time, keep it 'on' in the odometer display the computer will flash you numbers, something like P0135 or similar. these are trouble codes. record all these 'trouble' codes, and hit the net. or post them up. someone will tell you what they mean.
-
Tried that on the trail when it came on and the engine stalled. Too new for that 'ol chrysler trick. Earlier ones will blink two digit trouble codes. You'll need a code reader or scanner to figure that one out. DON'T disconnect the battery till you get the code(s) read.
-
sure does mike ;) your engine shouldn't stall out cause its never on to check the codes ;)
works in my GFs 2001 and moms 98, as well as my 02 ram, why wouldn't work in his?
