I may be interested...depending on where and when and all that kinda stuff.

Was nice meeting you last weekend Sonny and Jeremy. Wish I coulda gone to chehalis with ya. Next time I guess. Sorry I had to run away, I thought you guys were comin over to our camp...but perhaps I misunderstood. We ended up going up to Sloquet hot springs on tues. night, if you've never been I highly recommend it.

 

i wont be here this weekend, goin to pick up a tent trailer in princeton & take 'er out for a test run.

nice to meet you n your crew julie...i was hopin to stop for a bit but the kids were gettin antsy so i had to jet.

anyone up for a midweek afterwork run after long weekend at eagle?

 

Hi Jay! (sorry late response). I live in Ridge too...well, Ruskin if you want to get technical. I know that runner you're talking about with the trailer, I see him around quite a bit...don't know him though. Welcome to the exciting BC chapter of YT. This is pretty much the only thread anyone looks at, so if you start a new one, it's a good idea to link to it from this one. Hope to see you around. Cheers! Julie

 

Im in the ruskin area usually once or twice a week to go mountian biking
We seem to have a very dense population of our trucks in this area, I swear, I go out and I will see at least 5 pickups and 4 4runners, its great
perhaps we will see eachother somtime, you will hear me, thats for sure

 

Does anyone know of a fabricator/welder that is "available" to do a bit of work? Am STILL looking for someone to fab replacement skid plates for the 4th gen. It's been 3 years of searching. Went to see someone else a couple of weekends ago about this and was told, "yeah I can do that", but I omitted to get a date so once again am waiting. I won't name names of who hasn't come thru but if anyone can recommended a reputable person with the time to help it would be appreciated.

chris...

did ya try taran over at bigcountrycustoms? if you can get the skids mocked up in cardboard, with all the bolt holes where they should be...it shouldnt be yoo hard to find someone that can brake the metal for ya. the less thinking & measuring they (fabbers) have to do...the easier and cheaper it'll be since they'd only be cutting/bending/welding the metal for ya.

go into any metalwork shop with a fullscale cardboard mockup...anyone competent with a welder should be able to do it.


on another note..im off tomorrow and wanna go wheelin. thinkin about doin eagle...anyone up for it?

 

Well I work tomorrow, but I'm off at 5 so if your going for a night wheel I'm intrested.

Let me know,

Jeremy

EDIT: I see on the other forum you need to be back here at 5pm, maybe next time.

 

haha...just decided to make it an after work run...it'll probably be too stinkin hot out this afternoon. still in? i'll give ya a shout this afternoon jeremy. hopin to be at the trailhead by or before 6pm...

 

Oh man this totaly sucks I just got booked for a dinner metting with some people from the UK......dam secritary


You still thinking about heading out this weekend at all?

I went up the Skaget vally out side of Hope last weekend and it's really nice up there. Did not find any tecnical trails but I'm sure that there are though.

Jeremy

 

Went out on Sunday to see if there was anything up Chilliwack lake and found a trail that I thought may get over to Skaget vally. So we headed up it and found a trail that the government had put some effort into making unpassable to 4x4's the cross cuts were 5ft deep in some spots and only about 8ft wide. We were able to make it quite a ways but the cuts were every 30-50ft and it got tyering fast.

I got out of my truck after one crossing a reolised I had a wheel pointing in a funny direction. Ended up hammering out a lower ball joint on the passanger side then bending a the rod end on that side too. So now my truck has awesome toe in till I get that fixed. The cross cuts after that were unreal they just got bigger and deeper. So we turned around and headed back down were I ended up caving in the drivers side of the rear bumber

Jeremy

 

Oddly enough, I visited Taran about a month ago. Called a few times since and sent a couple of email. He seemed genuinely interested at the time. Even said he had a 4th gen coming up from the US for a rear bumper. Never heard back. I know he's busy. I'd just appreciated a reply and a date to be on his schedule.

Previously, I've been in touch with at least 3 other fab shops that do this work. All seemed interested but I guess my job is so small that it's not worth their efforts. It will be 3 years without skid plates and I'm frustrated. I don't have the old plates and they were so badly smashed and bent that they couldn't be used as a template.

I'm not a fabricator, and have no yearning to pretend that I am, so making a template isn't something I want to attempt. You know, if I would have went to BCIT 3 years ago and taken a welding/fabricating course, I could have completed this blasted job myself by now. I guess that's my next option considering this isn't going anywhere fast.

 

Try posting an add in craigslist or somthing for a fabricator.

 

*cue tumble weed*

ahh, there are WAY to many red 4runners in town

 

Lots of blue pickups too... lots of yota's in general. They're everywhere you look in Ridge. I'm a little easier to spot, because I don't have chrome bumpers...and it says TO OTA on my tailgate.

 

Ahh I didnt realize that!

I couldnt wait to make mine stick out from the crowd

*total blonde moment, is that how you spell crowd?, or is it croud*? ahh!!!
