31'' tire assault on Fisher West
« on: May 03, 2006, 06:53:18 PM »
Since that mean VP  won't let the guys with 31's go on his run, I think we should have a 31'' tire run,   :P

Open to anyone with 31" tires and tow points, No winches req'd (but always a good idea).

Maclean Creek store at 8:45, Lets beat them to the trail head.

This is not an official run, open to everyone,  if you have 31's. (in decent condition)

I would like it to be a short day, things to do. So maybe we will stop at 2 or so and those who want to head home can, and those who want to continue can do so as well.

Newbies welcome. This will be an easy run with only a small chance of getting stuck, and nothing overly challenging.

Ian, i think Dom was asking for opinions as he has never done this trail. Its your club and your call. i just added my opinion but really that is all it is. If the CJA wants to open it to everyone, they should. i am sure Dom (VP) would want what the majority wants.
Have a great day and bring everyone that wants to do it.

I know he would.  There has been talk about having a 31'' tire run several times, I just thought this would be a good opportunity to get some of the less built people out and the first timers, who may be nervous heading out on a trail such as Fisher East. Just have a nice easy, relaxing, fun day on the first full weekend of Maclean.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing a tour of the high points at McLean rather than wallowing in the mud holes  :lol:  :wink: . Top of the World, Fisher West and Quirk Ridge come to mind.  Yeah, I agree, no rules, enjoy life, Sheryl Crow wrote "if it makes you happy, it can't be that bad...".  Spring time in McLean.

I would be curious to know this as well, I have a new ride I would like an easy run to test the waters with.

No!  the plan was 31'' only, as I don't want to take people away from the VP's Assault on Fisher East.

Open to all kinds of vehicles, except all wheel drive minivans, unless you have 31's of course :lol:

If you have tires under 31'' you can probably come along. :)

But like all runs everything changes in the parking lot just before the run  :wink:  So I am sure if there were a couple of taco's and a Z71 in the parking lot they would be invited along.

The idea was to do a very easy run. So it may be not be the most exciting run for the big rigs.

By the end of today I'm sure I will have some input on this one and we can firm up the details.

( Hint: I don't have any plans for Sunday two days of wheelin' could be fun) or we could move this to sunday. I'm easy.

Not quite a Z71 anymore, that's why I want a nice easy run for first time out.

I just might join as well. I was thinking about Fisher East, but I might not have a winch by saturday, but if I do, I still might consider this run.

Hope thats cool...

If you think my Liberty is up to the trails you are planning (I've no idea, I've never been out to Maclean), then I'd be up for it. I got 31s. :)

Al, the Liberty would have no problems. Come along.

OK, this run is now wide open to who ever wants to come along. But it will be setup towards the beginner and small jeeps. No stupid seven hill climbs or mud bogs.

Requirements.
 4WD  (no 2 wheel drive S10's :wink:)
Good tires AT's MT's  with 50% or better tread. Bald All-seasons will not cut it.
Front and rear tow points. Loop end tow ropes, no metal hooks.
CB Radios. There were issues on the last run because there were both FRS and CB's that could not talk to each other.

Saturday Maclean Store 8:45,

Dan, not Al. I'm the green Liberty, Al is the black one. :)
