That's my point of this. Trail run, with maybe a little adventure when we stop for lunch ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWood Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Sounds good to me, for sure going to the end of the trail and back, then some exploring when stopping for lunch to see if we can stretch it out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnwalker Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 The first 1/2 of it is pretty light - it gets a bit more aggressive from there with some rock gardens with larger rocks you must traverse. I would NOT recommend this trail without a good set of skid plates under your truck. With skids you could make your way through the entire trail. It currently is a dead end so you run the same trail in reverse to exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97 cherokee Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Minor mods there is some rock gardens and dragging is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4Mckay Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 With that being said, if stock vehicles would like to come (see videos on youtube channel) more than welcome to hitch seats the second half of the trail because we loop back anyways.

97 cherokee Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Most of the day if we stop for lunch and do a bit of explorering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I wouldn't be too concerned about the quality of the skids - as long as there are some skids there protecting your oil pan and gas tank you'll be fine. If you take your time and spot your tires over the rocks you will be ok - the skids are necessary insurance IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 What Scott said, I am currently running stock skids on my rig and have not had an issue with them, we are there to help you through as well, and have no problem getting out of our rigs and spotting if needed or wanted. I would suggest coming out on this one as it is a fun trail, and if things get too rough for you there is always a seat in another rig for the remainder.

mrjoecanadian Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I would like to be home to try this trail out, I might not have one skid plate but I got good clearance and am not scared to use a spotter if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97 cherokee Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 You won't really have a issue if your on 35s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4Mckay Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 For refrence, we has a stock JK through the first part of the trail on a night run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoecanadian Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yea but there is no way I can drive from Chilliwack BC to home in time to wheel on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 The second part of the trail is definitely rougher, I got hung up twice, on the same f-n rock, but if your running 35's and choose a good line, wont have any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLTLNR Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 noob question!!! Is there a resource for those of us that do not know the trails? as well, is there a trail guide, by that i mean is each trail rated? i ask because i both do not know where to go, and, do not know what the local laws are regarding just tearing off into open land. When my rubi gets on the road i was going to go to peggys cove and perhaps mess around a bit with a friend. take the ladies out during easter weekend.

autumnwalker Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 There is no online resource (i.e. maps) for trails. No club will publish trail information due to trails being abused by non-club members. We have a trail rating committee (new this year) who will be working on ratings and descriptions for each of trails we run; however, work is just beginning on this.

BlackPrintz Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 It's always wiser to go on group trail runs. Off-road clubs get permission to cross private property (trails), typically have a form of insurance when on private property (trails), and always 'Tread Lightly'. If you decide to just go wheeling on some woods trail, without asking permission, you may get stuck, lost, or in some parts of the province...shot at. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Don't even think about leaving the pavement anywhere near Peggy's Cove either. Unless of course getting arrested ranks up there for date nights ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
