New to Calgary
« on: March 02, 2014, 01:18:47 PM »
Hi everyone, i am new to Calgary and just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my Jeep. I am from Niagara Falls ON and i have been in Calgary for 2 weeks now. I drive a 2000 cherokee sitting on 6 inches and 33(pics to come as soon as i figure out how to post haha).   I am looking forward to meeting some fellow jeep enthusists and cant wait to hit some trails in Calgary. I am well known and involved in the jeep and offroad community in Ontario.

Welcome to Alberta. You'll find that there is a variety of trails to choose from. Trails are as close as 30 minutes away in summer. Which is very nice. The views are always amazing. Keep an eye on the open-run section for trail runs. There should be an official club run in mid March, the weekend after the clubs monthly meeting.

Were you on the JeepKings site at all ? I've run into a few guys/gals from that forum that moved here.

Dave and Eric at Broken Axle have always been good to me. Price, service and quality of work are all great.
