ya thanks for the link sonny.... I dont know about winch and lockers... I will try and go there coming up sometime soon.... and tell ya'll what happens. a lot of guys up here think you cant go anywhere if you havent ordered every possible thing out of some catalog. but then they drive fords

 

Damn it...everytime somethings going on I have an appointment or something. Saturdays no good for me, have to take the cat to the vet *sigh* maybe next time.

 

Hey,

I'm new here but intrested in getting out and exploring. I was up in the Davis Lk, area last weekend but hit the snow line quite fast. I will keep my eyes open for upcomming meets. I think I'm going to try the Hail creek clean up run in a few weeks.

Jeremy

 

hey jeremy..welcome aboard! whatcha drivin? and another surreyite too... heh

im thinking about trying the hale creek run next month too. im halfway done my regear + front arb install, but i should be good to by next weekend.

maybe hale creek area can be the location of our meet n greet guys? stave is OK, but only since its closer, but id drive a bit further to get better trail action...and sunrise is also a great stocker run if not a bit short. hopefully april wont be bringing too many showers, coz i want to go out n hit the trails with ya guys!

 

I have a 93 2dr Dark green SR5 v6 5spd, its mostly stock just a 1" lift and some worn out 31" muds. I just got the runner last month so I'm just lerning here.

I'm looking forward to hitting the trail again soon and maybe some rocks this next time.

Jeremy

 

Great idea Sonny. Hale, Sunrise or other exploring up Harrison West, then a beer and burger at the Sasquatch Inn. Or a beer and beer if you'd prefer

 

ok...so lets do hale/sunrise then. eric, ive never done hale...it'd be stocker friendly right? and im down for a beer n burger n beer at the sasq. looks like the rest of march is a write off for me, so shall we get a show of hands as to when's a good date for everyone? the sooner we can all agree on a date, the better as i've got to inform the authoritites....

and another heads up/shameless plug if anyone with a 3rd gen runner or 96-04 tacoma would be interested in my front 4.30 open diff & rear 4.30 elocked third. $900 takes em both. i'll even help ya install it

 

Yeah, Hale is no problem for a stocker, it's easier than Sunrise. Most weekends are good for me, or I'm off work both Friday and Monday at Easter.

And I'm very tempted to buy the diffs, except my wife is between jobs right now and has put a lock on my toy fund, something about mortgage payments, food, etc.

 

Hey Jeremy;

Welcome to BC YotaTech bro!! We are a good group here, so if you have any questions we all are here to help eachother out!!

Looks like we are getting a pretty good size group of BC'rs here!! Yeah hope this rain lets up a little so we can hit some trails!!!

Yeah I think i'm ok for anytime for a meet and greet!!! I might be heading to the interior for some boarding for Easter but other then that i'm down!!!

 

Hey guys, I'm form POCO and would like to get out. I haven't done much but would like to get out with guys that know the trail.

 

spring riding jesse? you bastid im so jealous!! haha...where abouts you goin?

mch944...welcome to the BC side of the board. definitely try to come out in mid/late april for our meet n greet. it will be at hale creek/sunrise in harrison west. ill gather more info as the time comes closer...

only requirements on this run will be that you've got proper recovery points front & rear. a receiver out back will work. i bought tow hooks from princess auto for about $10 a pop, but had to source out other bolts as the ones that came with the hooks were standard thread and we need metric's. ended up getting them from alder auto. your own tug/recovery strap will also help but not essential as i think theres at least a couple. i recommend getting one though...they're about $40 from princess auto as well. make sure you get at least a 20,000# strap. Also a full size spare.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!!!

I'm down for 4x4 all the time so keep us posted. I have all the needed recovery points and straps, so I'm set there. A locker would be awesome but that will be later, looking for a Elocker at some point.

Hope to see all you guys out there soon.

Jeremy

 

ok...so hows april 21st sound for people? i think its a sat. or sunday the 22nd? anyone have any opinions? i can also swing the sat weekend before, but not after...


oh..and might want to add that communication between trucks makes things alot easier. so if you have cb...great. if not..GET ONE. haha..just kidding. FRS thingies work too..i've got cb and one frs unit. if not, we'll probably just have to resort to morse code horn tootin' or highbeaming...

 

Once again, that date is no good for me (best friend is coming in from Ontario...that weekend is all booked up). Hope you guys have a good time, and I'll keep an eye on the thread in case the date changes.

Make sure you've got lots of pics to post up so I know what I missed.

Oh, and welcome mch944 and wheelingnoob

 

The 21st or 22nd both work for me.

 

Works for me, I look forward to getting out again. I will be doing hale Creek on the 14th along with the BC4x4 group, so I will have an idea what I'm getting into.

I think this weekend its going to be a Chilliwack Lk. see how far I can get before hitting snow line.

Jeremy

 

Where abouts you headed up Chilliwack Lake way? I haven't been up there for a while, but be careful of washouts, flooding etc. I love it up there, I'm up there almost every weekend in the summer. We used to have the best camping spot right on the lake, but we got kicked out last year...guess you're not allowed to camp there anymore.

 

Arghhhhhh...... its tax season fro me right now. Gotta wait til mid may. I probably won't make a trip until I get my OME lift on anyways. Anyone good with a coil compressor or know of a good mechanic?

 

ok so lets try for either day of the 21st/22nd. rubysrunner..youre just gonna have to miss out on the fun!

good call on running the maintenance run jeremy. im probably going for a run on the 14th, but to squamish up to hut lake. its a bit more technical & difficult, but fun nonetheless. if anyone wants to join, they're more than welcome to. i've always got a seat or two available if someone wants to ride b!tch seat...

dave...you gonna do the lift yourself? its pretty easy. i'd just pull out your fronts and bring em in with your OME stuff to a mechanic & get em to swap it over. then just do the rest at home yourself.

 

I just got put on call this weekend so will not be able to get out 4x4ing
