well looks like im stuck..cant make it to this months maintenance run. i would encourage anyone stock or not to try this run. mkool has been on it (but not with his truck) and its definitely a good way to start wheeling your junk. steve and a number of others will help spot and guide you up the Vrock. have a look at the hot4x4.ca pic gallery site..lots of sunrise pics there.

on another note...i might have a 4.30 + rear elock swap available in the next couple weeks. front open 4.30 + rear elocked 4.30. rear third will come with wiring harness. perfect setup if you want to go slightly lower gear and rear locker without having to re & re from your truck. simple diff swaps & a bit of wiring for the locker n your set...

 

Well I went on the Sunrise run yesterday, made it all the way to the top too. The lake had 10-12" of ice so a few brave people drove out on it.

One Jeep owner had some fun trying to climb a rock at the picnic site

woo hoo gues what I just bought. Any takers?


By the way nice vids Eric.

 

Dave, I guess you finally bought a lift. It should really transform your soccer mom mobile.

Sonny, when you pull your gears, pm me. I may be interested in them. Whats the mileage on them? I've been thinking about swapping for a while but just never was motivated to look for them. How much work is it to do this swap?

 

Having stood on that rock, I sit here and shake my head pondering the reason why that was attempted in the first place.

 

Yeah Nice vids!!

Me and a couple buddy's with Jeeps are heading out to Stave this Sunday the 18th.

hey nice pics eric...glad you were able to make it. wheres the pics of your runner hmmm? fairly easy run hey? think that area would make a better place for our meet n greet? id think so...

oscar, ill letcha know if/when ill have em out. still contemplating buying an elocked third, get em setup, then swap mine out n sell, or just pay to have it removed, regeared and reinstalled. id rather regear one thats already out then swap mine...


not sure what line he was trying to take...and why the winch on the way up esp at that line? its a fun lil challenging rock..i was able to make it up but there wasnt any snow thats for sure coming down backwards was just as exciting..haha

 

I can't take credit for the pics, I just posted them so you guys could see what you missed.

And Sonny, the Jeep was trying to go up about 20' to the left of where you were, that's why he needed the winch

 

eagle ridge. tonight..anyone?

meeting at the entrance at about 8ish...gimme a shout if you wanna head up n we'll wait for a bit before heading in.

Damn you............... Its so close to my house too! I'm taking care of my sicky wife.

Anyways, my lift kit is coming this week. Pretty stoked. Now I just need some rubber. MKool why don't u just buy Yabedude's spacers.

Dave

 

my front & rear 4.30's will be up for grabs soon. see this post for specifics. Oscar has dibs on em..but if i dont hear from him by the end of the week, they're up for grabs.

this combo will fit all 3rd gen runners. front diff will fit 3rd gen runners and 95.5-04 tacoma's. rear elocker will fit all 8" (4cl, V6, Turbo) diff housings with the proper prepwork....

 

hey guys ,

good to see some more bc folks in our yota's , I have to do some more work on mine before I come to any runs, but you should look at coming up to the coast, its only like a 40 min ferry and there are tons of places to go up here...... anyone done a SAS on a 2nd gen? gotta go find me some axle

 

Welcome bry-an...I love the sunshine coast, I used to have family over in Gibsons so I spent tons of time there when I was a kid. It's beautiful there, and I bet there's some great trails. Anyway, good luck with your SAS and welcome to YT

 

hey bry...welcome to the BC chapter of YT. went wheeling with a guy from the SC and he said theres some good wheeling to be had up there. im hoping to make it up there this year...day trip anyone? we could always use a tour guide

you in the process of swappin your IFS out? there are a couple axles here in the lowermainland. the job itself doesnt seem too bad, if youre good with a welder. whats your toy setup right now?

 

Hey a co-worker was just telling me about some abandoned camp or town over there on the coast that he wants to check out this summer. Do you know what he's talking about, and can you give me any info? This sounds like it could potentially be a good trip. Thanks

 

hey guys ..... camp town.. well no i dont know but i can try and find out. there are probably tons of logging camps abandonded. my set up is pretty stock for now. but I am going to start getting ready for a future engine swap.... and get rid of the IFS. there is a 4x4 recycler up here who has some old jeep and fj stuff so I am gonna go raid his yard when I get some money. as for bieng a good welder.... we'll have to wait and see on that , but I know some welders.

 

i think youre referring to the bible camp in sechelt? i've read a bit of info on it...seems like a good trip to make...ill have to hunt down which forum it was...but lots of good info.

here is a thread from bc4x4 a couple years ago. they say winch or lockers are mandatory...but who knows how the terrain is now. some pics from the H.O.T trip a couple years back.

 

i will explre more and find some good trails, my bro knows tons from dirt biking so I can ask him. he also has a 85 truck hes working on, we just got the turbo diesel from japan..... heh heh... anyone know what type of axles would fit nice under my 94 ... its a 22re 5spd

 

Thanks for the link Sonny. Would be nice to find out an update on the terrain. Winch and lockers I have not at this point. Guess I'll just have to ride bitch with someone who does Gonna see if I can find out anymore about this, I'll post up if I do in case anyone's interested.

 

Anyone up for the Sunrise Creek run on March 10th. Yotas were outnumbered last month, we need some more out there.
