Hi Guys,
I must say I was pleasantly surprised to meet the 'great lot' that showed up ... nice rigs as well ...
Anyway, I promised some 'EuroTrash' links to some of you, so here goes ...
The Tires I mentioned ... axle snappers, but ooo so effective (and pretty snik snik ...)
http://www.simextyres.co.nz/simex-article.asp?pagename=/simex-offroad.asp&catpage=1&article=-2092972571
The Twin Motor winch --> this is a modification you see on Warn 8274 Winches in the European competitions
http://gigglepin4x4.net/
The Masterpull winch ropes with the protective sleeves (way expensive, but well worth the investment)
http://www.masterpull.com/
SuperLine XD is the one you want ...
If I have forgotten to post a link I promised you guys, please let me know ...
Ow and just to be complete:
I NO LONGER WANT A JEEP REAL BAD ... I ALREADY HAVE A JEEP :-)
See you all at the Show N Shine
Dirk

Dirk,
It was nice meeting you. I love talking to other experienced offroaders from far away countries. Similar interests, but always different experiences and stories!
So, did you buy the rubicon?
-
Enjoyed the sunday night get together. What jeep did you buy dirk? the 06 rubi ?
-
well I was really doubting between the Silver 05 TJ and the Orange 05 Rubicon ... doubting so hard that I decided to buy an other Jeep --> a Silver Rubicon 04 :-)
So now I have the best of both worlds !!!
It is a 2004, but it is in MINT condition ... unbelievable: the engine is still shiny!!! never been offroad, just a BEAUTY .. and yes it is 2004, so it is only a 5 speed, both ith only 42000km, I don't care :-)
anyway, looking forward to showing it to the expert's eyes on the Show N Shine ...

Sorry I missed it guys, on the bright side I'm pretty sure I figured out why my front diff was leaking (http://forum.calgaryjeep.com/index.php?topic=19214.msg115243#msg115243).
-
hehe. no problem, we will catch you next Sunday. Congrats to whoever won the prizes. It was another great meet and greet.
-
Thanks guys... great and informative meet. Totally worth eating dinner @ 10:40 pm.
Rich - thanks for the shades. :)
Oh - and Dirk Diggler was from Boogie Nights. It was actually mentioned on the radio driving home. Heh.
-
I wont be there this weekend (in US) .. but i will be back the week after :-)

-
Thanks for the meet! I had a lot of fun, and had quite a few questions answered. Also won a sticker at trivia...have to figure out where to put it.
-
just some more proof that the trivia questions are rigged ... Rich always seems to ask questions I don't know the answer too ... I think he has put on a filter on the forum for my account ...
Heck even if I do get the answer right, he denies me:
Question: Mister X was working on putting a suspension on an XJ, what was the first major problem he encountered?
My answer: That is was an XJ !!!
still no sticker for me :-(
How much more right does a man have to be I ask you :p

When you exit Deerfoot at 32nd AVE NE head east. At the second set of lights you will see it on the right hand side by the Royal Bank and XS Cargo. If you pass the Shell Gas Bar you've gone too far.

-
Thx Rich for showing up, despite being broken on the side of the road. Thx for the prizes too!
-
sorry i missed it . i need prizes .. i never win anything any where
-
Sorry all that I was late. I know some of you left before I finally made it.
My Jeep transmission died on Deerfoot and Glenmore on my way to the meet. I ended up having to get a tow truck to the tune of $130. Its my own fault for even attempting to drive it. Anyway I made it in my truck by 8:40 and gave some prizes away later than normal.
Remember next week is my last week doing this and as a result any and all prizes we have left over will be given away next week.
Once again my apologies for being late.
-
Ugh. Any news on a fix/replacement yet?
Sorry I missed out - decided to log some clicks on the cruiser and didn't get back from Drumheller until late. Definitely won't miss the wrap-up!
-
Yes the tranny got ordered today.

Sweet, which one did you decide on? AX15, NV3550 or the Terminator? :D
