Actually, just a big ol' thanks to Kyle for coming back and volunteering on Sunday, even though he started off being in the passenger's seat on Saturday.
And thanks to Eric and Kyle for bringing Timmy's to us campers.... sooooooooo appreciated!!

Wish I could've gone this year, but there was no money in the bank for potential repairs.


And considering the story from LibertyHopeful - and that I have a 2008 KK - there WOULD have been repairs.  Glad to see another KK out there though.  For what it's worth, I took mine out to Margaret Lake in Waiparous last year, and it made it up there with no problems at all.

LibertyHopeful - check out:  http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/  There's a forum there specifically for KKs - Man there are some bad-arse liberty's on that site.  Give you some ideas at least.  I think 33 is currently the LARGEST tire on ANY KK, and it required extensive cutting/trimming.  Another KK with 33's built himself a custom front and rear bumper

Awesome way to spend a sunny hot Sunday afternoon!

The CJC course was professionally conducted and very well organized; thanks to all the club members!  Wasn't sure if my old YJ would make it, but it did hang together.  My son and I learned many things about 4 wheeling we never thot of before.  It was our 1st time at Mclean Creek and hope to return many times with the group.

Strongly recommend this course, too bad it isn't mandatory for all off roaders.

There were a few obstacles that we very changeling, luckily my old girl had a 3 inch lift and 31" MT tires (only wish I had disconnected the sway bar).  Those with stock suspensions and street tires shud be cautioned about eminent damage when signing up.  The CJC guys, looked the rigs over closely and made any concerns known to the drivers, from there you go at your own risk (and white knuckles).   

Anyone looking to get in the sport shud invest in a CB, it would help keeping all together; will have to head  down to the Walmart and check them out  ...

Will have to throw a  spare oil filter in the off road kit, along with a few other things that were mentioned.

Thanks guys/gals

Just want to add my thanks as well.  The instruction was excellent, and I only had to be pulled out once.  (Not bad since I hadn't been off roading like this in 20 years).

hey MK's here, just signed up..   just like everyone else here...  instructors did a great job, thanks for volunteering...  it was an experience of a lifetime...  you guys gave me so much confidence and showed me the hidden capabilities of my KJ.  I'm don't think I'll purchase another vehicle without the JEEP logo because I am officially impressed!!  Met lots of new trail rated friends and I"ll definitely be out trailing again.  CJA is the best!!!    Thanks again guys!

I think I managed to thank most of you before we finished up on Sunday, but again, thanks to all the instructors!  I gotta agree with MK, I have way more confidence in my driving now.  I had only owned the Rubi for a week before the course, and I'd just started learning what she could do, but you really helped me push my limits.

It was  great to meet all the "students" as well, can't wait to see you on the trials again!

Also glad to hear that the "ol' flowerpot" made it home, and that you'll have her repaired soon.

Special thanks to Rubiclone for my new desktop background    I'd post it but it's against the rules

You need to become a member, because that is where you can post pics.

Working on that

I've got an open event done (assuming the 101 counts), I plan on going on the 26th,  and I'm doing the meeting tonight.....when's the next trail cleanup / building a fence / bridge type thing?

Slowly but surely I'll get there.
