If so I can get a ride there and be there by noon on Friday for $525.00 that's half the price the gas alone would cost me.


$100.00 more for a rental car. Not bad at all!

Yes it is, 1.5 hr drive.

Calgary would be your best bet, just a 1.5 hr drive:

It's been painted though, the white one actually does look like it's been stored since new.

Sounds like fun! btw, I've seen the yellow LJ 80 on your mainpage in person. Very nice LJ, for sale too, but a price tag of $10,000.

I'll have to go through my LJ 80 stuff and see what I want to bring.

That's too bad Smuz, hopefully things change.

That's why we suggested a Canadian meet

I call shotgun. I was thinking I'd like an open 20.

Who's bringing what rigs? This time I want to drive an LJ so it will likely be my tintop.

Without knowing exactly where the meet is I would say Canmore is the closest town. I may be corrected though by someone that knows more.

Just don't let them go hiking. :wink: I thought the entire point of having an LJ was to avoid hiking! Why would these boys go wandering off without a Motor Vehicle? And I'm sure they wouldn't get lost, or make trouble or get eaten by a bear.... or end up in the hospital, isn't that right Jr. :oops:

I keep trying to convince the wife that she is going to come along, but she's just not too keen on riding down in the zuki, its only about 6 hours max Perhaps I should tell her that she has to drive down in the support truck :D My girlfriend and I last year drove my SJ 413K down to Washington and b...

We did the dinosaur provincial park and the royal terrell museum. Also stopped at head smashed in buffalo jump. Great places to see.

Updates, who's comin'. I actualy drove through Lake Louis / Banff a few weeks ago. Sure is a nice place. The thing to be aware of is that it's all park land so you can't really just go offroading and camping wherever.

Well we drink what we can down here, but when we come up we will be drinking REAL beer!!!

I'm leaning towards a Tundra as well. Should be a good time up here

stevec wrote:Smuz is now officially on the "confirmed" list, so that's 20 people and 10 rigs already!

Smuz, better get ready for our Canadian beer.

Those dates should work.

Nope, too much going on. Putting in our kitchen as we speak, just took a break.

Mee too, I'm looking at Tundra's now. not new but 2001-02 ish. Need a tow rig anyway. I'm tired of my daily driver needing so much attention. I know of a nice one for sale in Kamloops right now. He might still have it. Probably a good deal. PM or email me for more info. Cheers, N. If it's black I'v...

I'm tired of my daily driver needing so much attention. my poor BroncoII needs more work than it's worth....... just to get it safe and reliable :roll: Me having to go through this vehicle inspection with my 413K has sucked big time.
