CJA Open Run - March 13

[slimbeam]

ill call you in a bit

[Slewfoot]

You'll be fine driving on a stocker run.  Nothing that you didn't put an M38A1 or Iltis through (I'm assuming an Iltis).  But there's nothing wrong with riding shotgun to get experience.

Thanks - I'll drive then.  I guess I'm just used to taxpayers paying for my mistakes off-road...time to take the plunge myself

I never drove an M38A1, but spent many hours in an Iltis, MLVW, 5/4, CUCV and a bit in a CJ, but I think that was a different style of driving than what I'll see this weekend.

See you guys Sat. morning

I saw lots of Jeeps out there later in the day. What were you driving?  I probably saw you.
I was in a jean jacket, black helmet on the yellow/grey Bombardier quad.

I'm running stock with new 33" Wrangler Duratracs. However, unfortunately I can't make this one. Got family comin in from outta town. Hopefully next run!

I won't be there, but I'm sure you will be fine.  Just remember to listen to the run leaders and follow their instructions.... 

[Pookapotamus]

got my winch fully reinstalled and works great, so the pook will be in attendance with winch and CB!

[2GRND4U]

90% sure on coming on this run.  Im coming up from Lethbridge was wondering what would be the fastest way through (or preferably around) Calgary.  Looking at Google map it looks like I should take the 22X west to the 22 North then head straight up to Chochrane from there.  Anyone have a faster or more prefered route?

[Immortal]

#2 (which becomes McLeod Trail, west on Glenmore which becomes Sarcee, then west on #8... north at the traffic circle (hwy 22), that pops you right into Cochrane. You'll be coming in early, so traffic is nonexistant.

[2GRND4U]

Ok great thanks. Wasnt sure about the traffic situation but if you say it will be good than ill take that route.

[SilverTJ]

Count me in.
No winch or CB though.

heh I used to have my Iltis "Pilots license"...   
we always used to fight over who got to drive the officers around... better than sleeping in the mud in November.

If its when you were crossing the river to go to 4 corners then yep, that was I.
I stopped to let the convoy by then popped her in to 4x4 and let the 650 rip to make sure it engaged and did one hell of a slide as a result. (I need new tires on that quad!)

[Dagoose]

I'll be coming and hopefully driving. I just replaced the valve cover gasket, so as long as the oil leak is gone I'm in.

33's, winch, no cb (yet).
