Title: Mclean OPEN RUN sept 30 UPDATED WITH PICS
Post by: Moezer on September 20, 2012, 12:11:02 AM: Hey guys, so me and a friend are planning on heading out on the 30th of Sept to Mclean

We are going for a fun trial ride

31+ tire size good tow/recovery Straps, good tow hooks front and back, winches are a bonus.

Any 4x4 can come, what ever you have bring it out.

We aren't going to mess around, if you come and be a jack A** and get stuck or just being plain stupid you will be left there with out getting my help.

This isn't a noob run, "sorry guys" so no STOCK 4x4s, unless you are a rubicon or got lockers. In stock I mean no lift or big tires

The plan as in right now is be at the storey at 10 AM and head out at 10 15 AM or so...

We will also stay as 1 big group I don't want 2 diff groups going there own way, also any one can leave at any time they want

So far me and my friend are in this.

Again anyone is welcome as long as they meet what is mentioned above my phone number is 403 612 1893 text me or post on here if need be name is MOE

Thanks a lot hope to see some of you out there

Update, there is also another group forming up from beyond.ca so make sure to spot my jeep

So you're limited to going in on Lost Knife or past Camp Chamisall to 4 corners, then to the lake and then back the same way.

Post by: w squared on September 20, 2012, 10:32:50 AM: And by the way....a bone-stock 4X4 with solid recovery points and AT tires will have no issues running all of the trails that Fraser just outlined. Even when the trail to the falls is open, a stock TJ or JK on AT's can make it without issues (unless there's a bunch of snow).

(unless there's a bunch of snow).

Then you just snap driveshafts and have to get pulled out by an H1 :P

So make sure you take an H1 in the winter, best piece of recovery gear ever.
Title: Re: Mclean OPEN RUN sept 30
Post by: w squared on September 20, 2012, 10:37:30 AM: You only need an H1 if there's a ZJ on the run.

Honestly though....I've seen stock 1 tons (and H2's and H3's that were stock) make it at least as far as the big hill near the falls.

Post by: JackstandJohnny on September 20, 2012, 10:54:46 AM: Todd, deep down we all know you like ZJs.......
one day, i'll let you sit in mine, just so you can get a feel for what comfortable, pillow-like leather feels like on your rump

then i'll snap pictures of it too and plaster them all the internet mwahahaha

The plan now is to McLean top of the world and the side tracks up the mountains and around the camp grounds

Top of the world is hard the last time I went, yes there is side tracks to get up there but I don't want to worry about first timers.
last time I went, there was a stock tj and the guys dog ran in front of him and the dude stalled and rolled down the hill smashing in to a tree so that is why and he was a stock tj no lift and nornal street tires.

Post by: WhiteOut on September 20, 2012, 04:49:21 PM: You should clarify your requirements for the run, they are not too clear right now. I'll change the thread title for you once I get off my phone.

EDIT: Looks like someone already did.

Meh. My comment was more of a dig at Fraser than at you or at ZJ's in general....but you ZJ pilots are so touchy. It must be all the comfortable, pillow-like leather feeling up your rumps. Turns you into poofters or something :)

I'd say that was a driving issue....not an equipment issue...but then again, you're the one leading the run so you're the one who gets to say who can and can't come with you.

X2

I took a stock 2011 JK and a stock 2005 Landrover with me up TOTW last month and back down to Fisher East at night, no issues and they had a blast!

Stalling and flopping is not really a feature of any terrain I've come across, driver skill ;)

Post by: Spinalguy on September 20, 2012, 06:15:12 PM: just wondering why a guy can not post whatever he wants for a run and requirements regardless if a stock 4x4 can make it? Heck, maybe he just wants to do the trail quicker with bigger more capable rigs.
Basically, its his run, he can put the requirements to whatever the heck he wants ;)

Absolutely nothing. Is there something wrong with letting a guy know that he doesn't need to limit himself or his group because of one persons silly mistakes. He shouldn't leave with the impression that ya need a group of lifted jeeps on big mud tires to tackle what is one of the more entertaining runs for stockers in McLean.

....which is exactly what I said in my post. The runs that are being talked about are easy to do in a stocker, we pointed that out....and then pointed out that he can dictate whatever he wants because he posted up the run.

Post by: Moezer on September 20, 2012, 11:12:25 PM: I'm all up for new people to go out trialing, but it won't be on my watch

I'm still new to off reading but have been out many times to know how things Pan out on the trial

I know what some rigs can do and cant so I don't want the haggle of having a new comer come out and something happens due to his/her poor skills on what to do in a pinch

:D but anyways I'm always up for pointers and what not. Will add the 2 members that posted once I get off my phone lol

But you don't have one. So you can't go on your own run? ;D

Whatever. Good on you for organizing something. Thanks.

Please re read the post i said no STOCK TRUCKS unless you have a rubi or a locker on a stock truck as in no lift or no big tires

So if ur a stocker with no lockers and stock wheels and no lift then this run isnt for you :)

Run requirements are up to the guy leading it. You don't like their requirements then don't go and also don't clutter the thread with posts about how the requirements are dumb/unnecessary/over kill either please.
