CJA Boxing Day Run
« on: November 15, 2011, 11:09:30 AM »
I will be leading the CJA Boxing day Open run on December 26th in Waiparous.

Requirements:
Good AT or MT tires, minimum size 32". Please be prepared to air down to 15psi or less.
Full size spare
Vehicle in good mechanical condition (no leaks)
Proper recovery points (both front and rear)
Warm winter clothing (and footwear)for every person in the vehicle, and extra clothing and footwear.
Extra food and water for everyone in the vehicle
Full tank of gas
CB Radio
Recovery strap
Rear locker or a winch (unless you're putting tire chains on)
Shovel
A good attitude  :)

Recommended:
Tire chains (especially for those with 33" or smaller tires)
Axe and/or saw

We'll meet at Smitty's for 8:00 AM, with a full tank of fuel please. You may want to fuel in Calgary, and consider bringing a Jerry can....I don't know what service stations in Cochrane will be open on boxing day.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

How about this....if you've got 31's and can give me a good reason to think that your rig will be able to handle some interesting conditions (like you have 2 lockers and own tire chains), PM me.

If all goes according to plan, the lift will be done and the new 31" Duratracs will be on in time to make this event.  I have a pair of chains but no experience using them.  Do ya REALLY think they will be necessary?  Could prolly bring them along for the ride ;).

Bring them along.  If it is crazy icy, you may need them.  If you have them with you, you won't need em...

Per the run requirements, if you don't have a rear locker or a winch, please show up having already put your tire chains on in your driveway, so that you know how to do it and you know that they fit. Depending on conditions, we will probably ask you to put them on at the trailhead (since it is part of the run requirements for people that are on tires smaller than 32" and don't have a winch or lockers)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH3rL6tqUj0&feature=related

This guy demonstrates it well....but if you set up your bungees the way that he did, you will cause sidewall damage to your nice new Duratracs. Make sure that the ends of the hooks point out. Also make sure that have actually have the clearance for tire chains - on the top of your tire, and next to the inside sidewall. You'll need proper chains that are made out of chain (not the Honda Civic cable chains), and those will cost you some clearance around your tire - both on the top and on the inside sidewall. If you don't have enough clearance when you start the run, those chains will adjust your clearance for you.

I'm not saying this to be difficult - I'm saying it so that you're prepared. This run isn't going to be anything too over-the-top....but we'll be going through some areas that ended up causing a bunch of body damage on winter runs last year. I really don't want this open run to end up with us winching a near-stock vehicle through, and the owner of that vehicle realizing at the end of the day that he'll be shelling out a pile of money on repairing body damage.

Good advice there Toddooo. ;)

If I get the work dun and make it out for this trip I'll be sure to bring the chainage along.  Since I only have 1 pair of chains is it best to put them on front, rear, driver side or passenger side? :D

Does having Trakloc in the rear count as having a locker?

If I drive all the way out there with the chains on will that not wear them out?  Think I'll just practice putting them on in the driveway so I can help you guys with your chains too. ;)

Not trying to be difficult or anything....just saying ;D
