CJA Open Run - March 13

[dac]

No, I dont feel like I can wheel anywhere I want just because I have a 4x4.  As a matter of fact, I fully respect the laws regarding offroad trail usage.  What I was refering to was the comment that someone could send me back home just because I didnt meet THEIR minimum requirements for offroading on Crown land.  Yes I am completely stock as I have only had the vehicle a little over a month, and yes I agree, tow point are a pretty basic upgrade in the world of wheeling. If you had read further instead of jumping all over me, you would have seen that I am currently looking for tow hooks or any idea's toward them.  So mabey instead of critizing people  and refering to them as "hillbilly's" before you've ever met them, you should offer up some suggestions ALONG with your personal opinions.  Its ok, dont get offended over internet talk.

He didn't say he'd send you back home, he said you couldn't join the club for the club run.  Might suck but thems the rules.

You wouldn't be sent home... your rig wouldn't be allowed to join in the CJA run, because you (or several people) were not able to meet the MINIMUM requirements. It has happened before, and it will continue to happen unfortunately.

If you still want to join the run, but have not met the requirements... arrange to ride shotgun with somebody that has the minimum requirements.

I know that you probably wouldn't drive 2 hours to ride shotgun, but it is a suggestion (to you, and the others that are reading this post).

I have happily offered a shotgun seat to folks that have shown up and not been able to meet minimum run requirements.

I'll absolutely back any trail run leader that chooses to "dis-invite" someone that fails to meet minimum requirements.

If someone show up knowing that they don't meet the minimums and assuming that they will be allowed to coast, there is no way that they should be allowed onto the run.

Is there a question in there somewhere?   haha   

[Crunch]

Spare must be same size as the 4 on your rig

From the run requirements, post #2 in this thread.

Hey All
We will meet at Smittys parking lot in Cochrane at 8:30am
This open run will be stocker friendly-but keep in mind
weather is unpredictabel,ther is still snow and ice and things
can happen
We will see how many people post to see where we will be wheeling
As always minimum requirements will be in effect
No bald tires-must have at least 50% tread depth
No fluid leaks of any sort-drips on the ground
Front and rear tow hooks
Full size spare
Recovery strap
Winch optional-I'm sure we will have a few out there
CB optional,but we will need a few of us whith them
Food and water for the day
Clothing for all weather and extra dry clothes
Full tank of gas-top up in Cochrane BEFORE we meet

FYI, this is a "must have" on pretty much every run the CJA does.

A 32" spare is not all that useful when you're sitting on 35's - especially with a JK. The ESP system on the JK would not respond well to a 32 on one side of the axle and a 35 on the other.

Not to forget you will most likely cook your differential gears on the ride home

[Crunch]

Absolutey your diff will be turning at dfferent speeds 100% of the time
Amagine highway speed going home-NOT GOOD

[Eagle Jeeper]

Not to criticize but if you can afford a 2010 JK lifted on 35's why wouldn't you flip the 200-300 extra for a spare so you aren't left on the street let alone the trail.

The same thought crossed my mind, but I didn't want to go there.
