looking to meet at the (Mclean) store by 10:00 am
Would like to run a bit more of challenging trail this time round, therefore 32/33's are a good idea but not necessary, tow points and all that, there will be some mud, Some hills, and some rocks and it should be a good time
hopin to meet some new people and see some friends

I'd love to go but i'm a little concerned about 'challenging'. Just built up a brand new 10 Rubicon Unlimited, TF 2.5 BB, bumper, 8500 winch. I wanna go get it dirty but don't want any 'RockyMountain Pinstripes' quite yet. I haven't been to Mclean yet but want to go out and follow the leader so I can learn the trails. If you think I can come out of this one unscathed i'm in.

Bunch of us at rigid are heading out to wiaprous on an easy run if your interested. Meeting at the canadian tire in cochrane at 10.

it's only the first stripe that is tough :). What kind of bumper did you get?
-
I went with the Rugged Ridge XHD with ends and hoop. Threw a couple KC lights on the hoop and a couple on the windshield.
-
sweet ride.

Yeah a stock JK could handle this, A rubi will walk through, If its your first time It will be fun thats for sure, as for the pinstriping I'll be honest, there are bushes that will rub against your Jeep in one section of the trail. Nothing more then twigs and leaves though. Whats worse then the branches rubbing on the jeep is if you have your window open...sometimes a strained branch will whip in and bitch slap you
If it where me and I intended on wheelin my jeep I'd take it through, this is pretty light stuff (bushes), and anything that can cause any real noticable damage is very avoidable by not hammering the skinny pedal and choosing logical lines. That said the choice is yours, As I alluded to earlier if its your first run ever its probably got a little pucker factor, although some people are hard to impress.

You had me at 'pucker factor' I'm in!

My brother in law just bought a '10 Rubi unlimited as is going to come as well. His is still stock but he's got straps and factory tow points.
-
If I'm not working I'll come for a ride.

Hi everyone, I would to attend as I picked up a new jeep jk mountain and would like to meet some people in the area. It is stock unit :'((for now) so I hope it will be ok for this trail.
-
You will be fine stock, I just took my 2010 mountain through fisher east last weekend and it did good, did get high centered a couple of times but is a pretty rough trail. I will see if I can make it out as well.
-
wish i could go but i only get sunday off.
-
wish I could go but I have to work all weekend.
-
Want to see some pics of the run, it would be great if you could PM me with any links pics that would be great
That was a really good run
Thanks in advance

After wheeling 3 brand new Jeeps I can tell you first hand that wheeling is way more fun after you stop worrying about the paint.
-
Everyone likes to joke about saying "It'll buff out", but Rocky Mountain Pinstripes actually will. I'ts amazing what a power polisher will take out. ;)
-
After about 5 minutes on the trail I realized there was no point worrying about the paint. Had a great run, thanks again to Jrama for taking the lead and showing us a good time. I think the pictures will be posted up sometime this week. We're camping out there this weekend and gonna do it all over again.

Thanks for the day guys. Had lot of fun up to the point where I had to turn around. I guess I will have to start the upgrades sooner than I thought. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun the rest of the day. I enjoyed meeting everyone and hope to do it again very soon. Thanks
