I know in RedDogs and my own case, we didnt quite get the CB together in time to go on the last one. I was wondering if there were a couple guys that maybe wanted to take a few of us newbs out for another stocker run in the near future? I'd love to get some mud on the tires.

there may be a possiblity of a group of cherokee's going out on Sunday the 3rd to maclean, i am in if i can get my front axle back together,... unbelievable that you have to strip the entire housing to change one friken axle seal. for the most part we just run frs... the other don't have cbs yet.... i will post later ( friday nite or sat day if i am going )
the only requirements.... same as all other runs....
- tow hooks front and rear
- tow strap - NO METAL HOOKS
- cb's or frs required( prefer cb )
- good tires..... min all-terrians with lots of tread left
- and any other equipment/ tools required for offroad adventures

I'd be on if anyone else is. I scrubbed my Montana plans and decided to hang around Alberta after all my errands in Calgary today. I got set up this morning with a CB so I'm set... that is "set" as in for a rookie in a stock TJ with a lot to learn.
-
I could be in for a run on Sunday as well ....it's been a while.
I'll keep a watch to see if you guys are going. :)

too bad I'm on call. I havn't even been out yet this summer :(

Wow..i am pretty excitted...I guess i better get that cb in and tunned...Does anyone have an extra tow strap, or am i gonna have to make a run to princess auto. Any suggestions on what and how much i should be spending on it?
And are Wrangler RTs good enough for tires for your run?

is this gonna be a run where a ROOKIE driver isn’t gonna totally kill his daily driver? Not to mention being a student, my most valuable possession. :wink: :?

fony3 - If this is a plan I won't be venturing anywhere I don't feel confident in a stock TJ myself. I've been out 3 or 4 times treading very lightly as a rookie. I've said more than once I have a lot to learn and I've been very honest about that. I've already taken a flop underwater as a passenger "observing" and "learning" this year and no way will I risk a repeat on my own at the wheel of my daily driver. If we're talking enjoying trails in the sun and wilderness in the company of new friends, count me in.
Having said that, is there anyplace around for breakfast in the morning? I was through Bragg Creek a couple weeks ago headed south on 22 but have no knowledge of the region otherwise. Thanks.

sorry to all.... but i can not make this run to family member deciding that they want to do something else tomorrow.
to all the rookies... there is several trials out in maclean that a stock tj can make with no body damage if you take the bypass around a couple of obstacles. fisher west is one of them ( have had a stock yj on stock size half bald all terrrians through there with a couple little tugs due to clearance - kept high centering )
as for those who could not make this run like myself.... i am planning to make a run out to maclean next sunday, sep 10 to play..... i will start a thread for that one later.
so to all that go out tomorrow have fun

Well since cotaman is out and he was the trail leader iguess we are out to i could try and lead but that usualy turns into me winching my arse out cus it did not look that deep or steep. I know my way arround maclean a bit but i dont want to get you stock tjs in trouble.
:( :(
Well i think we might still go on sunday to do sum exploreing but cant garrente safe passage for stockers so its up to u. :D
-
haha, if its up to me, maybe i'll wait till next week. I cant really leave the house tonight to pick up a couple things anyways.
cotaman, i'll be looking forward to your post and hopefully got myself a tow rope by then.
-
Bummer. Next time then fellas. :(
If anyone's not doing anything holiday Monday, say the word. I'd be on for sure. The forecast is gorgeous and I'll supply the jumbo dogs and buns for the trail.

I'm a go for tomorrow. I know enough trails to provide a variety, upon what vehiclkes show.
Reddog / Fony3,
If you guys are interested, I am thinking a guy can start up Top of the world and go from there. As long as you don't have bald tires and tow hooks, you should be OK.
87XJheep,
If your in, let's meet at the store say 9:30.
-
As great as that sounds, i have company over right now and I cant sneak out to get teh add-a-circuit or tow rope i need.
Thanks for the offer, like reddog said, if anyone is up for it on Monday, i would probably be able to make it.
-
I'm up for a run to Maclean on Sunday, have to get out of the house. I'll be at the store @ 9:30 Sunday morning. :)

Sorry guys if you went out on sunday. I was late and did not get there till 10:45. I ended up meeting with winch from 4wheeler.ca and we did fisher west it was a good day no breakage.
:D
