Anyone heading out this weekend?
-
I'll likely be out on Sunday in the Samurai. Saturday is for turning wrenches.

I do my wrenching on sunday most of the time.
-
That assumes your rig is ready to roll on Saturday. Mine is in a few different pieces at the moment. Nothing major, but a few tweaks needing attention.
-
aah that makes sense.
-
I'm a pretty strong maybe for Sunday. Will post a commitment for sure by Friday.
-
I should be able to make sunday but it would have to be a late start say noon...but that is usaully more than enough time, even when half the group decides to break-down and then we subsequently decide its a good idea to start exploring logging roads.
-
i wanted to go to waiparous and drive up to the falls on saturday
-
Whoever can make it Sunday at noon let me know, I have no interest in doing anything at Waiparous right now. We'll be stuck with those trails all winter.

falls trail is closed until it freezes over.........
-
Err. Closed till hunter outfitter/guide season is over. Sheeple pay big $$$ to hunt sheep up there and the sound of a dirtbike/quad/jeep annoys the hell out of the oufitter.
-
don't you guys ever get tired of just going to mclean and waiporous? all sorts of good crap around crownest, or clearwater area west of sundre, just saying, getting too cold to tent but could have some adventurous long days.
-
I'll be out wheeling this weekend. I'm not too sure what day though.

I think you just summed up the whole thread in one sentence
-
OK lets try to get this going in one direction here. How about Sunday and I would like to get going a bit earlier than noon by 10:00 10:30 I was thinking (just throwing that out there). Place: we can try McClain again last week end we got 12KM (I checked my GPS after) before everything died (Jarma you get your rig all sorted out?). I have no opinion on the wrought though.
-
Lol, I can do Sunday.
-
The Collin and Jamal show?! Won't miss it! I'm in for Sunday. No cares when we meet but prefer 11 in hopes of being home around 6:00, but am easy if Jamal needs his 8-hours.

Turns out all I need to do is hard wire my pump to the wiring bus, cause its a free fix nothing broke ( in my mind) .
I'm driving in from Vulcan we can try for 11 but I may be an hour late.... ;D, its bound to be a late night for me Saturday to boot.
-
A friend of mine with a stock Jimmy on all-terrains may want to come out this weekend... think there's anything we might hit that he can't go through/around? Shall I tell him to come along or to stay home?

So to set a time to this all lets split the differences and say 11:28 and 13.5 seconds AM meet at the store (or as i like to call it the "the out of place brown building in McClain Creek").
-
I will shoot for 11....I should be able to do it.
-
I'll be at the store at 11:00.
-
What trails are we thinking? Yj with a winch and front locker alright to bring along?
Jamal knows I can handle my crap, regardless of a/t's :p
-
We'll be at the store by 11:00. See ya there.
-
Loading the jeep. See you guys in a couple hours!
-
The wife and I are outty see you all at the "misplaced brown building " or the store what ever fills your cup.

Well I made it as far as the Bragg Creek gas station, then the problems hit. It seems the bugs are not yet worked out of my rig.
1. valve cover gasket was leaking oil onto exhaust manifold. trying to re-seat it only made it *drastically* worse.
2. positive battery terminal finally decided it had too much corrosion to give the starter any juice
and then, just for fun...
3. spark plug wire chose this moment to break
Sorry, maybe next time I'll make it with a running rig. I went home on a tow truck. Hope you guys had a fun day.
-
It was quite the day, lots of fun,mud and winching, only minor body damage for most of us..... thank goodness for the pythagorean theorem approach to using a snatch block. Oh yes incase anyone was wondering I did enjoy my drive home on the shoulder of the road.
I'm looking forward to doing it again,
-
Great day we got stuck on the shoulder for a bit too the mud in the rad finally got the heat up a bit. But no worse for ware. Now the hour and the 40 bucks at the car wash that hurt and I lost about 2 cups of fuel capacity due to the nice rock size dent in the fuel tank skid plate.

Did anyone get any pics of chads jeep swamped on the mound in that "pond"
-
