What a day! Awesome time again.. my poor truck is a bit worse for wear though.
So far, alternator might be failing..front wheels no longer point in the same direction and a tensioner packed in on the drive through Calgary..
Oh not to mention the missing lug nuts!
Oops!
Wont stop me from doing another run out though.

Re: Waiparous Falls Run
Totally awesome day!! Thank god for sunscreen! Not a cloud in the sky... Bit warm but still awesome!
Truck a little worse for wear??... Wow, let me think if I'm surprised..... Nope, that emotion is definitely not coming!! U were going at it pretty good there! Your tie rods are definitely shot, you should also ensure u have the pitman/idler arm support upgrades as well... That will help immensely but tie rods do wear with the larger tires...
I'm trying out the dmax kryptonite's so see how they fair, mainly they have a warranty which will pay for itself I think!
Awesome day guys!! Can wait til sept/ October as need to get one more in before winter....
And we found Waldo!! One more thing off my bucket list!

Re: Waiparous Falls Run
Great, trip... no breakdowns, no delays, and we made it to the falls, woot! Really couldn't have asked for a nicer day either.
Thanks for coming out everybody! <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... /wavey.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wavey:' />
A recap video I threw together of the day. Still have a bunch of other footage not included, plus I am not happy with how the song ends so abruptly so I might make another one when I have some spare time.

Re: Waiparous Falls Run
It was a great day out there, and it was really nice to meet you guys! I was a little disappointed with the lack of any mud on Lost Knife and also on the Falls trail, but it was still a great day. On our way out, four of us decided to take the part of the loop before the bridge and we were going to turn around at the bridge, but we made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up coming out at an oil lease site and a road leading back to the FTR. Now THAT trail was fun, I haven't hosed that much mud off my Jeep since spring time!
It'll be great to see you guys out on the trail again sometime, hopefully we can do a joint run with the Toyota guys and have a big happy BBQ or something!

Re: Waiparous Falls Run
^^ Was nice to meet up with you guys. I know exactly what road you took out btw, I did that by accident in the winter when I went out with the Beyond group. Those hills get a lot steeper when there is snow on them!
I still managed to get my truck covered top to bottom in mud for the day so I am happy!

Just 3 weeks or so, but I got some insane work hours I will need to do for a month following that.
