Eastcoastcam Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 OK folks... Time to get excited again! Our next run will be on Saturday May 10, 2014. We will be running some NEW to us trails in the Hilden area of Colchester County, being guided by Robert Simon. The meeting place for the trails will be at Rob's shop at 1805 Hwy #2, Hilden at 10:00am. For those of us here in HRM, we can meet at the Tim Horton's at Damascus Road/Verdi Drive in Bedford at 8:30-8:45 to leave in a convoy at 9ish. Dartmouth folks can watch for us at the 102/118 junction by Miller Lake around 9:15. Hope to see you there B) ! Note: I will add a Google maps link to this post for Robert's shop when I get to a PC. Pics from their prerun of it will also be posted soon as well. The trails are stock doable (definite pinstriping expected), with lots to play around on along the way. They are tight in places that could be not so full size friendly, but I will let Robert chime in here on that. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Here are a few teaser pics that Andy (black EXterra) took from prerunning today... ...in no particular order... There may be some video coming up too. Devin, this should look familiar to you from when you and Scott Fisher were out last year B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Jay: Looking for a co-driver? I haven't got mine inspected yet, and the route is listed as not-extra-big friendly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 sure the more the merrier :) I'm getting my exhaust fitted this week and I need to look at my squealing alternator ASAP as I could smell the slipping belt in Renfrew (the belt is bad and the tensioner is busted off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yes some pics are familiar, but there are sooo many off shoot roads that you could likely wheel for a month or two and only travel a few of the same roads for a short period of time. I'm now in a situation...2 wheeling events on back to back weekends (May 3rd & 10th). Not sure what I have to do to get a "permission" slip to attend both. I might have to pull the "Went to Canadian Tire for something and ran into some people" trick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Would be great to see the big boys out too :D I'm putting my Krawlers on Friday for our SAR event this weekend. I wasn't going to but there is a good trail that got beat up by tree skidders this spring and one of the ATV guys said he couldn't get through it on his ATV and my brother said I can. So the gauntlet is thrown! Are you coming out Jay? Because I'll wait for you if you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUXterra Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Update: The X has made the decision easier for me (though not on the wallet). Clutch fan is completely pooched. I can move the fan more than 3 inches toward the block & then towards the rad! New clutch fan on order along with a belt, tensioner & idler pulley. While I'm in there might as well replace it all! Unfortunately, the parts won't be here until Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnwalker Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Really sounds like this isn't for a full size rig. Videos make the whole trail look narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacon Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Really sounds like this isn't for a full size rig. Videos make the whole trail look narrow. What size we talking about, Suburban/hummer wont fit? What about an FJ cruiser Am i going to be getting into the shrubbery much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
