I'll be leading a run Saturday November 27th...
This is an open run.
Planing on attacking fisher east. Hopefully all holes will be frozen. The snow should make it a challenge. Since this is an open run there probably will be a lot of stopping to help others out. With snow chances body damage increases. It's the start of jumping tree season lol.
We'll meet just past the store on Mclean Creek road (by the pond) at 9am head out from there at 9:30.
Must have requirements:
- 31" tires with good tread
- front and rear tow points
- spare tire
- recovery gear
- extra food and water
- lots of warm clothes / change of clothes
Good to have:
- CB
- tire chains
- lockers
- a snowmobile
Lets go have fun in the snow.

-
I"m willing to lead a run for sunday the 28th for the ones that are not able to make it for the saterday.
I will make a new post for it if anyone would like to join.
-
I should be able to make it, as long as Ron comes too. :P
I wouldn't mind seeing Fish East without spending $50 at the car wash afterwords.
-
I am in, provided that work doesn't derail me.
Fisher East is a ton 'o fun at this time of year! ;D
-

Will tow hooks front and back plus tow rope be adequate recovery gear?

That should be fine. Please just make sure that your tow rope/tow strap does not have any sort of metal hooks on it. You want to find one that has "soft" ends - loop style.
This is bad:

Will Do! Thanks for the heads up
-
I'm in.
-

not tow rope or tow strap, they are called recovery straps.
-
This may be a question without a solid answer, but a guesstimation would be appreciated. About how long will the run on Saturday take?
-
I wouldn't count on it being a short one. We are going to have some smaller rigs along, and that means we will probably be stopping to help folks when the encounter an obstacle that they are finding to be tough.
I wouldn't expect that this will be a winch-fest lasting until 2 AM...but I wouldn't be surprised if the run goes until after most folk's normal dinnertime.

You should be fine in your TJ but it helps to top-off the tank at Bragg Creek prior to the run.
-

Id like to come on this run. Just lifted the Jeep 2.5" and 1" body and got disco's. I have tow points. But I'm still on 30's BFG KM2's, is that going to be alright or should I stay home? Oh ya its a TJ
-
If you have lots of tread on your tires ... sure come out. I'm sure we'll all be using our tow points tomoroow. ;D
-
don't forget your sunglasses ...
and lots of windshield washer fluid for the drive back
