OK, as promised I am posting a run planned for next Friday or the Friday after, heck maybe both. Who's in and when??
-
Hey! I'm in. And I am free both fridays!
-
After checking my schedule I can only do the 7th, I got too much going on next weekend.
-
I knew if i let you sit on it you'd back out, actually the 7th is better for me as I only get next friday off, its my 6 day week 1 per month.
-
That works for me too! Gives me some time to make sway bar disconnects. ;)
-
sweet. The 7 th it is. now what time and where
-
Being your running a stock JK, my vote goes to waiparous for a nice calm day. But I'm easy if someone knows an awesome trail in maclean, I'm good to go there too.
-
Well I am working this dates, and I can only take 1 or 2 days off and I want to go fo th trail project to help out. Sorry bro.
-
I'll aim for the 7th.... If it's a good run for a stock LJ... I will be there. This will give me time to get the front end repaired...!!! 8)
-
Mclean is my vote, 2wd or 4wd all will enjoy.... I got a couple ideas of where we could go and it should be a lot of fun
-
Could have been there for the 30th but, unfortunately not the 7th. Have fun guys! Take some pics!

-
Hey Jamal, nothing too crazy. Don't want to scare off any stockers
-
2wd or 4wd all will enjoy
-
If I can get that day off I'm in!
-
You can. I have decided so. Lol.
-
Buki, can you tell my boss i should get more time off for wheeling too!!! just kidding, anyhow so maclean on October 7 is what we have so far. that works god so people can plan on going if its possible for them t make it!
-
I'm in tentatively... Have to work out a few bugs with the Jeep.
-
I may be able to make it as well! Finally.
-
Im in for this one. ;D
-
Yay. Someone to pull me out.
-
You guys willing to take on a complete noob? I just got my recovery points on my WJ installed. Mild lift. 31" tires. Sounds like it is going to be a pretty mild run, so something appropriate for me to start out on...
-
Yay. Someone to pull me out.
Do you often like to pull out?
-
So this run is for Oct 7th for sure?? I will ask to get this day off, ( usually never a problem, my boss loves me ), but just want to make sure this is a go. I've only been out twice this year and it would be great to get out before the white stuff gets here.
-
7th for sure. Im in and I know Jamal aint gonna back out.
Do you often like to pull out?
What you can stay in there forever ;) ;)
-
I am in for sure! So don't worry there will be 3 jeeps for sure!
-
Well now that it's looking like the 7th that'll be easier for me to swing, still waiting on my lift but hopefully it's in by then. I can't keep wheeling on my stock setup because I've toasted my swaybar links and until I get my new ones in I have to baby it otherwise it's like steering a large boat.

its not going to get better with more lift ;)
i've got stock swaybar links you can have, but i have to rumage through the garbage for em, for that i want at least a 6 pack ;)
-
I'm there for sure should be good Hope we get some rain so it is nice and muddy :)
-
Got the 7th off so I'm in for sure
-
We're in for the 7th.
-
Any ideas on a itime frame of how long this run is "SUPPOSED" to be?! Ball park??
-
Good question. I don't think itll be a long run as we were thinking of starting in the afternoon. Jamal has a better idea. I'm still waiting to hear back from him. But it'll be a fun easy run
-
So this run will be at Mclean Creek, we'll be meeting at the store at 11 am and will be running some stock friendly trails that should interesting for all who come out.
Requirements:
Vehicle in Good mechanical condition
Good A/T or M/T tread tires.
Full Size (reasonable) spare
Tow points Front and rear
Meeting:
11 am Mclean Creek Store
-
I'm out of this one...family dinner early friday night
-
Bring dinner with you. Just kidding. Enjoy thanksgiving
-
I am seriously thinking i may get some mud on the grand again if this is truly an easy run
-
You should come jon, I'm sure it needs one last outing.
-
So - it was never answered when I asked. New outsiders welcome? I'm a friendly guy, but I'd hate to show up then realize this was an "exclusive" meet or something. I specifically bought my WJ with the intent of offroading it a few times a year - so this seems like the perfect first opportunity...

Come on down. NOT Exclusive. I'm gonna be running a stock JK as my YJ is only 2 wheel drive until I can afford to do the gears on the front. :'(

You know ya WANNA
-

-
Yup ;)
-

I hope that wasn't for me bryan cause you know that I can keep up :)
-
I heading to Canal flats for Thanksgiving but maybe I should delay it a day and go wheeling with ya on friday
-
Gotta bail on this one...Still waiting on parts from Northbridge for the front end...!!!! Have Fun...... :(
-
Well, I may be able to make this one after all. Screw the stupid developers in Calgary (they never show up to my meetings anyway)!!! Besides, I am positive this will be much more fun.
Just one question: If there is one thing I have learned in my short time as a Jeeper it is that rain (mud) can turn an easy/stock/newbie run into a real challenge. Thus, given the rain we are currently getting do any of you experienced people have any thoughts on tomorrow?
Thanks,
Jeff

My thoughts are more mud.........=more fun :)
-
Yeah when the trail is saturated simple trails become harder for everyone, which can mean slow going or more fun depending on how complicated it becomes. Anyone who was out on the 101 this year will be familiar with these conditions. It could very well make a normal trail a long day. Mud terrains will be a nice asset tomorrow.
Slim I'd highly recommend coming out, I'm sure we will be able to convince you to hold on to that YJ

Until you hydrolock your engine? ;)
-
I agree that more mud can mean more fun. Let's hope that's the case tomorrow.
However, I think there is also point at which it can become a very difficult long day especially for stock vehicles (sans mud terrains) and newbies (me still to a certain extent).
Maybe, we should just all bring several of Brian's and Jamal's favourite beverages upfront for pulling the rest of us out. ;)
Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
I may put my inflatable ark in the back of the Jeep just in case...Taking reservations now... ;D
Jeff
-
If you are not comfortable driving in these conditions, hop in with someone else.
I would agree that ATs and mud don't mix.
-

The hydro locked engine was the other WK

Well boys jeep at jays getting fixed oil leak so i don't know if I'm going to make it :'(
-
I think it is only fair to make it clear to all that are coming out, that given the amount of rain its likely going to be a dicey one tomorrow, (as said) MT tires will be real nice. I forsee lots of stucks and "temporary loss of forward momentum" situations......there will likely be some pucker factor involved. Unless its a Rubicon, stock those things are great. I could be wrong, but its better to have fair warning then being caught off guard on the trail.
That said I am really looking forward to the run tomorrow, it should be a really good time!
-
In the garage checking the Jeep for the run tomorrow and Prepping the back of the TJ for the Pup. I hope you don't mind a pup on this run. He loves McLean and the inside of my Jeep is a testate to that. I will only let him out if I have to chuck someone or get chuck out. Dogs never see that coming. We are meeting at the store at 11 correct?
-
Hey if anyone coming can bring a big crescent wrench please do. Can find mine and my front trackbar isn't real tight
-
Leave a guy in thE garage long enough and he will figure it out. I'm good to to so see ya tomorrow
-
Well I started this, so I`m obligated ;) Weather network says:
24-Hour Precipitation Outlook
1-3 mm of rain from Thursday Overnight to Friday Overnight
This is for Bragg Creek. I am excited to get stuck.
Well boys jeep at jays getting fixed oil leak so i don't know if I'm going to make it :'(

-
Hey guys,
It looks like I might not be able to make it today, I'm having to go back to BC today on very short notice.
:(
Good luck!
-
Had a great day. Thanks to Jamal who led, knows the trails and is a great wheeler and BuKi who made me laugh all day long.
Didn't take a whole lot of pics but the ones I took were good ones.

Hi guys,
Sorry it took me so long to supply photos. I had a heck of a time finding a suitable online location for these. Personal Telus webspace - no. Skydrive - no.
Finally opened a Flickr account so I could post them:

If there is any one in particular you really like, feel free to pm me your email and I'll send it to you. (Each original is 8mb)

-
Nice pics!
I'm looking forward to the video of my 'teacup' ride impression...
