That looked sweet... definitely not for your basic stock truck though!
So does the owner charge a head fee for using the course? He'd have to eh?

I totally agree... I've heard that the trails at McLean will actually take you into BC.... that would be a fun overnight trip eh?!
I don't think my next run will be until march/April now but we'll see... I don't like the risk of the winter runs...

Dave, what the heck!! Winter runs are 10x better than summer... no washing, no cleaning, no flooding out the truck or ruining moving parts by getting mud into them, the trail is nice and soft instead of jarring... everything is so soft and fluffy, plus the scenery makes awesome photos.
You just had a bad experience last year, now that you know to air down it will be way better!
Besides, I have a HUGE winch now... the thing could pull Godzilla up a hill!

Not bad I guess if he does work on the course and keeps it up... But Waiprous is free!!! You just have to spend $70bucks in gas to get there...LOL
And Nick - I hear ya... I keep going back to that one nightmare and I shouldn't, I know.. I'm hoping to scrape up enough for my Detroit TruTrac for the front after Christmas so we'll see. A little nervous with that article Gary showed me but everyone I talk to says that's the best choice.... I'll let Rick at E-Mortal decide as he is a Hummer Tech and thus trust his judgement. I'm also going to get that rear diff locker bypassed to I can use it in full range.... I like the versitility of that!..

It was actually Gary that mentioned it to me that his guy there in Edmonton knows how to bypass the low gear restriction so it could be used in 4 high.
You'd have to be careful..... but I want that versatility! So I hope Rick at Emortal knows how to do it to... if not... may be taking a trip to Edmonton.... Maybe we could convoy up eh?? <img src='
