-
As far as I know the club is meeting on Sat. Oct 7 for a run!!
-
im not realy looking to go out on a full out trail run just wanna puts around on some stuff... lemme know if anyones up for it i need to find a set of wheels n tires
-
I've completed the repairs and would like to test the new springs :wink: . Likely a shorter run for myself, thus meeting @ 09:00 @ McLean Store on Saturday works for me to allow decent trail/testing time. I'm near stock and stockers would be capable of the trails I have in mind (bypasses are available). Other trail suggestions are always welcome.
JennyStar, to get to McLean OHV area, goto Bragg Creek, go W on #66, turn L into the McLean OHV, follow the road to the Store.
-

TaTtOo talk (PM) to 01sahara if you would like to come. This run is a members only and invites run ...
-
I would love to go, specially if stock rigs are welcome...
I ask the question every run i ask about, and everyone ignores it, please answer me!!! ARE WRANGLER RT/S OK? when i look on the goodyear site, they are ranked below ATs for offroading, but i've seen ATs and they dont look like more agressive tread than mine. If i have to i'll take pictures, i would just hate to get there and get turned away cause my tires arent trail worth.
Thanks in advance,
Brad
-
i dunno... im only gonna be runnin stovck 235's AT's for this run....
-
I would like to join, stock GC... i'm trying to get couple of hooks mounted tonight/tomorrow... but it might not be possible as the mechanic is a busy guy.
-
ok im not sure of the time ill be there.................buts its gonna be early.........perhaps we could pick a cb channel for all the boys n girls arriving at different times???? just a thought.

Brad, I saw some R/T's on a vehicle today, I think, that if the conditions were dry you would probably be ok. But if there was even a little mud they would not work so good. If the tires are getting below 60% or so I would not recommend going out wheeling. Upgrading to an off-road tire would be a good idea.

When I started out, I used stock tires (all seasons in fact) on my stock YJ, and they worked OK when it was dry but sucked when they turned into gumballs in mud. I still had fun and was just careful where I ventured, I also did a fair bit of solo wheeling and learned the easy trails during my adventures. (Probably not recommended by moderators :wink: ) Just show up @ 09:00 at the Store - someone will be there and you can hook up.
-
What CB chanell will you guys be using and what trails are you planning. I've got 3 other jeep buddys that may go but we won't be out there till 11 ish.
-
well as for me ch 10...............ill be there about 7am ish hope to see some of you guys n girls out there

After todays event in Bragg Creek, I could say so much here. But I will refrain.
For now :wink:
