August Alberta Run

[JL]

Can't wait for this one!!



Mud gremlins strike again... I think I washed the grease out of my idler pulley and now it won't stop chirping at me!! Thankfully an easy fix though!



Any idea on a head count thus far?



I'm counting..

Dave

Nick

Ferdie(?)

Gary

Gary's Friend

Myself

... anyone else confirmed (Nick mentioned some other vehicles)?

[Khamul]

That's it so far... havena heard from B-Man for awhile but wouldn't be like him to miss one..... Steve is the strong silent type so I'm sure he'll be coming .... Thinking of Steve: I better remember to pack extra clothes, just in case - never thought of that until i saw him swimming last run !! But then again I can remember some very cold Butt Cheeks



I believe Karl is in for this one to.



Definition of a Moron: Spend the entire day cleaning, vacuuming, and waxing a Hummer just to go offroading in 6 days.....



I still have to get to Princess Auto - no one around the NW has a 35 mm socket for my "off roading duffle bag..."

[karlairey]

I'll be there!!





Just installed new Cognito HD Tie Rods and Rancho Steering Stabilizer SHe's in the shop now due to some oil leaks from drive shafts. So if they replace anything there and if you add in new upper and lowers on both sides from last month, I might come up next week with damn near new front end!!



Did you see my pics from my Lake Tahoe trip last week? Check my Facebook page... www.facebook.com/karlonline

Yeah I am fairly certain that Ferdy is in, looking forward to it!

[Khamul]

Yup... I'm pumped as my run was cut very short last run..... Although I had a blast riding along with Jared though!



Almost had money planned out for my front lockers until the wife told me the school fees coming up for the three kids..... oh well..try again next year! I think I gotta look around for a second job..... Or first job as the financial sector is dead!

I was so hoping to have my new lockers and gears etc...installed for this run but one stinkin shock took 2 and half weeks to come in , so now thers not enough time to get it all done before saturday . Plus I plan on doing a quick run out at Alberta Safari Park (just outside edmonton) before a trip with you guys , as its close to home in case something goes wrong with the new upgrades ....oh well I will have to make do with what I have lol ...only thing that sucks is I got a leaky shock ...oh well...looking forward to saturday ....oh not sure about my buddy , he was 4x4ing and slammed his jeep into a rock and bent some stuff lol if he gets it fixed in time he's coming

[JL]

Sounds like a great turn out!!



My buddy with the red Jeep just got a nice lift and some mudders so I'm trying to see if I can get him along this run... The lift went on 2 days ago so he's getting the kinks worked out at the moment! He's a mechanic so he knows the importance of being 'trail ready' and he just wants to make sure everything is 100% before he hits the trails.



We were talking about some of the people he used to wheel with and it made me appreciate that we all drive well maintained vehicles, breakdowns happen but it's not because we're neglectful owners... To be honest I kinda took that fact for granted, so now that I am 'aware' of this I have to say kudos to everyone for being safe and responsible with their vehicles!! <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ght_on.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':right_on:' />

Here Here! Plus there is always the environmental concerns where as if our vehicles are in disrepair, especially oil leaks, can have a negative impact there especially when the "approved" trails takes us right through a creek!



4 days!!

[JL]

So! Usual meeting place at 9:00 am, roll out 9:30-ish?

[Khamul]

Sounds like a plan!



Should work good - rain on friday to fill up the holes and nice on Saturday...
