SQRLPWR Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Lewis has made it to the 2nd round of try-outs for Montreal Impact on the 16th and possibly the 23rd, so I'll be taking him and wont be able to make this months run. Weather permitting, do we have any volunteers to host one ? Jan & Feb always seem to be tricky because of the unknown weather conditions, but we could do with deciding where we want to run this Jan, Feb & March Any thoughts?

TomWood Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Was going to suggest TJ's but its really not full size friendly. We could run Hard and Soft then TJ's and the full sizes would head to the road or back through Hard and Soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm not going to volunteer for this one. I'm not planning yet to make it out. Been out the last three months in a row! Counting Jan. 01, I've been out this month! It is a small pain in the *** with the Sub. It is a 15 minute drive away, behind a bolted gate, wrenches behind a double locked door, with the battery unhooked, etc. And doing the fluid checks, changed both belts, in the 'dark'. And possible cold. After cleaning the snow off. And shoveling out the gate. And then putting it away. Not so bad in the brighter, warmer months! We'll see!

e36m3 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I don't know enough trails around here to guide a good run. But I'm definitely in if there's a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about stuff like the " goal posts" when they were still standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well my understanding is physically wont fit, Matt Brunet believes there are only one or two spots his Ram wont go through but im not sure. Where I always had the smaller Jeep it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Jim's old one ton YJ went through it all, when the goal posts were there (went around them). He had the short wheel base on his side. Long wheelbase and full width may not make some of the turns, and may not have anywhere to turn around either...

Powerram Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I had my Ford where they said a jeep wouldn't fit ha-ha. But not without new body lines and finesse lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekmac Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 TJ's is tight, with a couple of pretty turns that the 4 door JK's need to do multiple maneuvers to get through. I'm honestly not sure if anything longer would make them. You'd make it through the rest of the trail with no problems though I think. Might be able to winch and snatch block to get the *** end around to make the tight turns also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the length of Matt's f**d and Eugene's 'Burb, even winching the a$$ end around some of the turns wouldn't work, as there is no room to winch it over. Thy would have that chance if their back ends were like those articulating buses ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82Yota Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Haha I understand fully. I drive my cousin crazy with my snide comments about his xj and just jeeps in general. Then he reminds me that my Toyota is sitting on blocks etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Last time on TJ's there was only one spot where Matt in Jessy's JKU had to perform a back up, the rest of the time it went through as easy as my 2 door. With the shorter Ram JJ shouldnt have too many issues at all. Either way looking at how things are going we may need someone to lead the January run. Any options other than TJs, post them up!
