Looking to get out on Monday and do a run at Mclean, I know its the long weekend but hopefully Monday will be less busy and the weather will be nice. Plus it is always interesting (good or bad...) to see the results of the long weekend.
Requirements:
32" tire Minimum and if your driving a land anchor "aka JKU" have a winch please! Make sure they are atleast an A/T or preferably an MT **Absolutely NO street tires**
Recovery gear
Tow Points
Spare full size
Good working Vehicle
Good Attitude
Food water etc etc.

I haven't been out in a while, and wouldn't mind tagging along if that is alright. Hopefully nothing to scary. I have a new girlfriend and wouldn't mind keeping her. My rig is ready to go, and fully loaded with all the parts and toys. Could also go Saturday, but yes, that would probably be the busy day out there (depending on which trails you wanted to go and explore).

We could Make this kinda a scouting run for the clean up in june
-
^^^Well exactly I think its interesting to know how things went/are going down.
It will be a fun run nothing unusually difficult, probably do quirk ridge. Most obstacles that are hard are avoidable. It might be a long day depending on what trails we choose to navigate and link together but there will be outs at the road along the way.
-
Might be driving from rocky though there on the truck roads come monday....
-
There is a 75% chance I'll be in. Will confirm Friday or Saturday.
-
Im in for this wee run oi
-
Does 31's and a front locker count? :D
-
Sounds like there will be a few of us going. Do you need me to bring anything (chainsaw, shovels, axe...), the out of the ordanary stuff?
Randy

Ill try to meet you guys for a run if the heep is still up to it after 3 days of wheelin!
-
News- Anyone want to camp Sunday night? Go wheelin, wake up go wheelin. Any takers....talked about this at the meeting a little, we need people is all.
Does 31's and a front locker count? :D
It will count your running 4" of lift? Either way come on out
-
Yeah, waiting on buying 35's in the next month or so, everything is ready to support it except for my wallet.
It can get a little sketchy in the real off camber ;D
I'm down to camp, little bit of night wheeling?
-
That is the plan if we can get enough Jeeps to come out.
Come on people! Camping, wheeling = good times
-
That is kind of funny, cause yes, good things happen from night wheeling! Cant tell you how many guys I have seen over the years drive off for the adventure of night wheeling. Aparently, the long walk back at night (in the dark as they usually forget their flashlight) sucks. Next day stories start off with "I didn't see that...", "Not sure how this happened...", and my favorite "It didn't really look that steep!". I am all up for night wheeling (listening to the stories that is).

I wish i could go, but i am working night shift and it is stat pay so not going to miss that lol.
I still need to fix my axle u joint leak, so no wheeling for me till that is done!

I'm not the type of guy to go out in the dark without a flashlight. You go unprepared into any situation any it can be a long walk back. Know what to expect and be up to the challenge and its a blast
-
I might be able to join. Sounds like a good run to break my wife into the hobby. Coming from Red Deer though so where and when is everyone meeting? Any earlier than 9:30 might be a challenge...
-
Meeting 10am at the store
-
Sounds good. See you guys there at 10.
Randy
-
I can't make it. I have to work.... Boo.
-
where are you going to camp? I may show up for some night action with one or two other rigs. If you're camping where the good parties usually are I'm definetely in, hey why not.
-

Sounds good, I'm liking the interest
To everyone
Just remember to keep the tires 32" or larger and have a vehicle in good shape tow points etc feel free to pm me with any questions. If you don't meet the requirements there is a strong if not certain possibility you will be left at the store. Requirements are in the first post I updated them a bit
Camping is a no go for me again......

Sorry to bail jamal, broke another transfer case(this would be the 3rd since i bought the jeep) out gopher hunting in stettler.
Anybody got an atlas for sale?! :D
-
Thanks guys, will know a little later this week what broke when I get into it. Would like to hook up with you again and try again. First break down ever for the rig so I forgive it. It was the first step that I tried. I looked on my way out and I was the only dumb@ss trying that one. It was about a good 3' step. Never had problems before but maybe it was just its time. Oh well, next time.
Thanks again guys for the hospitality and the girlfriend enjoyed the little outing.

Sorry to hear that, it blew because whatever was making that noise finally seized, so its off to the stealership for some warranty and a new alternator, tension-er pulley or whatever...apparently those pentastars don't like mud.
That was a great day otherwise, good folks and a long day on the trail and beautiful weather. Couple off camber situations, some good winch pulls (especially the last mud field) and we covered lots of trail overall... Glad to hear everyone who split at various times made it out ok
-
Awesome runs guys...Great to meet some new people and I cant wait for all of us to do that last mud field
