Need to get the Jeep out at least once this summer............Who's going where or doing what ???
-
I know I'm looking to get out on Sunday again...i hope you know your way around some trails because I sure as hell don't! I know a buddy with an 06 Rubi that just put a budget boost in and would probably want to test it out.
-
I think i'll be heading out later in the morning this sat to mclean
-
I was going to take the weekend off but i cant do it, i need mud, i need it bad :D I know a couple trails and got a gps with longitude and latitude and map with long. and lat. on it, just need to match em up.
-
Hmm Im hoping to make it out for a run on sunday..
-
How muddy is it out in Mclean????? ??? Am I gonna need the top on....weather is looking good !
Sunny and 26 ....or so they say.
-
I've only got 31's so I don't play much in the mud,... I get stuck
-
;) Well if there is a way around it....I'll opt for that before playin U-Boat Commander !!! ::)
-
Hey guys looking forward to seeing you guys on Sunday, I'll opt to go around the mud if i can also, but once i get to the other side, I'll happily tow you out mudninga ;D
-
lol u better bring your string lahal cause im going swimming. I want u to try and rip my bumper off so i have a excuse to get a new one :D
-
Consider it DONE 8)
-
But I get to pick which bumper I rip off. 8)
-
You guys shouldn't be hooking anything directly on a bumper unless it's properly braced on the frame or unibody.
You would be surprised how much a tow strap stretches.....Next thing you know, you have a bumper coming right in the windshield. You can kill someone like that! >:(
Please if you rip anything... pick it up and bring it back home. There enough garbage out there,,...better...if you see garbage, please pick it up.
have fun & be safe out there...things can turn ugly real quick.
Cheers,
Dom
-
no worries, i was just joking anyway, my toe points arent conected to my bumpers :)
-
I might have to work >:( but if I dont I'll be coming on saturday
-
I'll be out on sunday and I'd love to j0in you guys.
What time do you guys usually meet up at?
-
Sunday, 9:00am at the store.
Again..........it would be nice to have someone who is familiar with the area, but if nothing else I'm prepared to go in blind. 8)
Well.....almost, I'll have my map and GPS !!! ::)
-
so are we meeting at 9am and leaving at 9:30? because normally we meet at 9:30 and leave at 10
-
I know the area a little bit. I think mudninja has a couple maps.
-
I'm fine leaving at 10........I'll just be there early is all !!!! ;)
-
i'll be there as soon as possible, i gotta pick up my brother first. his first time riding navigator, and my 3rd time on the trails. we will have a few people with nav systems, we will be fine, and if it gets to tough, will just find another route.
i'm gonna see if i can get mrbeggins to join us, he knows lots of trails.
-
Should be pretty good. I can't imagine much fuss on the trails, but I've seen some pretty mild runs turn scary. Just keep your wits about you.
-
i would love to go but iam saving my sunday run for the 27th because my uncle is flying out here all the way from ontario and i told him that i would show him the top of the world
-
i still need to see the top of the world
-
I couldn't tell you the name of any of the trails and I been up and down maclean a few times.
I just call them:
Hey, you remember that trail we did where I got stuck for 2 hours last june ?
Or
Hey remember where we met that guy who flipped his quad in the winter ?
-
I'd like to see this "Top of the World" Myself ;)...............anybody else been here that might want to come or possibly lead the way ???
That and some info on trail condition and what to expect or possibly nesc gear ......i.e. recovery gear or min requirements ( winch, tow points, tire size..etc) ???
-
i know mudninja has been there. and he's riding in a stock 08 rubicon, and he made it. so i'd say we shouldn't have a problem. we also had a stock TJ Sahara, on 31's that made it.
and all we had last time was, tow points, tow straps, shackles, and 2 guys with winchs (to get mudninja out of the mud, LOL :D) but i think he has a winch now.
we should be good to go, and it sounds like well have a few people, so we always ride "no jeep left behind" rule.
Looking forward to taking off the softtop, suppost to be AWESOME weather this sunday, CAN'T WAIT.
-
if ant one gets stuck real bad and you cant get them out just give me a call ill come out and help if needed
-
sry if anyone
-
Damn,.. next time I'm going to have to switch my open house days to Sat so I can run with you guys on Sunday next time
-
If I'm still in town (looking more and more likely Grin), I'm up for at least one day, and maybe two. Who's planning on running on Saturday? Sunday?
Mostly stockers again?
I've got one of the good maps that Mr.Beggins had last Sunday and have tweaked my GPS to provide good navigation information.
I think that at least one person with a winch would be a very, very good idea.
I'd like to take a step down in intensity/hole size/amount of winching needed/pucker factor from Fisher East. That's a long, long day.
-
Im supposed to be headed out late morning tomorrow
stock with 31's
also a stock tj
and a tj with 33's
the guy with the 33's has to pick up a trailer in the morning first, then we head out
-
After talking with my GF, we're liking the Saturday idea more and more.
What sort of time were you thinking of meeting at the store on Saturday?
I'm pretty flexible in terms of what we run, as long as we don't get into the stoopid stuff. :o
-
I'm still a go for Sunday (only day off) I don't care we go as long as I get out !!! Read that as anything fromMild to Wild ::)
-
Im go for sunday, also my only day off. I'll be there bright eyed and bushy tailed. Im about as equal as a new rubicon, minus lockers and that incredable flex. Im not afraid to try new stuff, I just dont want to trash the crap out of my rig.
-
Use it...but, don't abuse it !!! That's my motto !!! ;)
Like I said before.if there's an easier way, I'll go around and pull you out from the otherside !! ::)
How is everybody set up for Sunday run ??? Ability wise of ur Ride ???
-
i agree, this is still my daily driver
-
Mine used to be a daily driver....but, :oALAS.....I could not afford to fuel this OINKER with the mileage I put on daily in my commute. :'(
-
I didn't notice a time for Saturday (might be going a bit myopic), but if we're back soon enough, we're game. We have a once-a-year BBQ on Saturday in the NE at 5PM.
The little guy loves offroading and I've been up to top of the world a couple of different ways. Not into trashing the vehicle etc., still my DD! :D
So I'll aim for the store at 9:30!

It looks like we'll be meeting at the store in the 10:30 ballpark. Hopefully that'll work with everyone's schedule. I think we're all on the same wavelength about making sure that our Jeeps can leave McLean under their own power :P
-
Sunday Run....Store @ 9:00Am-.............Leaving by 10:00am

Back to bragg for a late din ;)
sounds just right to me :D
going to an easy trail ride
Unfortunately one of the crew has to pick up an offroad tent trailer in the morning from the RV place,.. that's why the late start.
It's ok,.. we can still get a good 7 hour trail ride in and still have the sun out.
Besides I'm bringing my bbq out for a nice late bbq burger lunch around 1:30-2ish
-
Looks like I'm out guys. I just got called from work, and I'm headed north this morning. On the road instead of off-roading.
The joys of working in the patch. >:(
-
Is anyone going out on Sunday July 20? Ive never been to Mclean so if I could meet someone closer to Calgary that would be great.
-
There is a Map in the Subject List of Open Trail Rides......Still going Sunday, but I'm coming from N.E. of Cochrane on the 22.
-
9:30 at the store?
-
9:00 -10:00am at the store.................seems to be a few stragglers. ::)
Store opens at 10:00am Sunday..topping up with fuel and Timmy's in Cochrane !!!
-
No pumps at the store,.. fill before you leave the city
Trails are pretty good
except when you get just passed fishers east,20 mins passed the truck bog runs,.. waay too mucky. We ended our day there
Good day today
-
I'll be there around 9:30, the person that doesn't know how to get there. i'm leaving from Calgary NE, if u want to follow me. I'll be at the Sunridge Superstore at 8:30 filling up gas.
