My04T4R Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 May need to be a co-pilot for this one, hopefully someone has a seat while the liberty is down :D I would really like to have someone that knows the trail as a co pilot, so if you want to ride shotgun I would really appreciate it.

TRUXterra Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 So for Devin, The run will be call Bump and OUCH.... lol, good one Rob :p I'll be fine for this run...it's the NSJC Relay For Life run here in the Truro area on the 13th that I cannot attend :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well FML. I'm not in for the 7th. Wife is taking our daughter to see the f 'n Doodlebops in Halifax at the Rebecca Cohn on Sunday. Can't take a 1 year old on the trail in a car seat, although from the looks of the trail, we'd be stopping every 30 minutes anyway...not going to get a permission slip for this one. My off-roading life sucks as of late.... I'd ask to change to the 6th, but it makes no difference, I have the kids that day while she is on a girl run to the Valley.

RobSinclair Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The navy is stealing me away for this one. Sam, take your time. The trail is 4Runner doable but its right on the limit in a couple spots. Without rock sliders you could take damage to your door sills and rocker panels. My running boards absorbed a lot of punishment for me. When you are going through the water feature where I was stuck, you need to keep to the right, but be careful because the rocks create a pretty steep angle and you lean towards a massive boulder which could hit on the side of your truck. Also I needed an anvil and a maul to flatten out my skid plates after this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daren Cook Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I am also unable to make it on the 7th as we are having a birthday party for our 3 year old. Maybe we could get the people who can't do the 7th and do a run on the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72LandRover88 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Ran out of time for Rover work... Still have a few things to do including exhaust, engine oil change and ignition tune-up... Not sure if I will be able to get it all sorted in time.. But I really want to do this trail without all thr rocks being covered with ice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSinclair Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The short wheelbase will really give you the ability to pick better lines than I could. Also my lack of experience had me on the wrong track a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72LandRover88 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I too, am out. Ran into a brake related snag with the Landy and haven't had the time to see to it. Was really looking forward to this trail again... perhaps we will have to gear up an unofficial club run another time! I'm sure there are a few out there who would not turn down an opportunity to bump and grind again soon ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have decided I am going to wait till I get my lift, stronger skids and more aggressive tires, I went out yesterday with jeremy aka winterrider4x4 up in canning and was dragging a lot! 4runner did good but all in all I want more ground clearance and stronger skid plates.. would of liked to have run this but seems as if I wouldn't have too much fun :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Digger Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not sure if I will be there, wheel bearing needs to be replaced and parents in town. Reverse gear still not fixed which is the least of my worries as I plan on moving forward. :smiley-transport009: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
