Re: Whipsaw 2010

Ok I'm a little confused on what is the "Princeton" side of the trail since both ends of the trail are about equal distance from the town. Do you mean starting from Coalmont or south of Princeton on Hwy 3? Also, are we hoping to run the entire trail on Saturday or camping halfway and finis...

Re: Whipsaw 2010

I hope I wasn't misunderstood there, I'm totally fine with people having a few beers around the fire. I've just been to events where people were recklessly drunk driving with their children in the vehicle and no seat belts on, so it kinda gets me worked up a little. This group is great though, I'm t...

Re: Whipsaw 2010

No one in my group has children but none of them are into drunken mayhem either. As far as I'm concerned, if someone wants to do that, they can do it elsewhere as I don't want to waste my time dealing with it.

Re: Whipsaw 2010

Looks like I should be able to come down Friday whenever it suits. A friend of mine is coming from Cranbrook with his LWB Samurai on Friday too, so maybe we can meet up in Princeton and then head out to find a camping spot and mark the way for others that come later. If I can swing it, I'll head dow...

Re: Whipsaw 2010

I'm still planning on coming with my LJ81 and a friend of mine will be coming with a Sami of some sort. I'm not sure who will be coming with us yet. I'm not sure about where to camp or what time I'll be there yet either.

Re: Kelowna

Have you tried calling the magazine to order one? Here's the toll free #(877) 479-4823.

I'm still having trouble getting my magazine and I have a subscription, I'm not sure what's going on there.

I'm sure you could have the LJ80Q ready for a trail run without a crazy amount of work, but the diesel Sami would be cool too.

Re: Whipsaw 2010

Sounds like fun!
I'd sugest we go before it gets too hot out as I don't know anyone around here that has A/C in their LJ. However, the only time that doesn't work for me is August as I'm already quite busy that month.
Anyone know how early we can get in there and not get burried in snow or mud?

Re: oil seal cross reference

I got all my seals from a local Kaman Bearing store. Pretty much any good bearing/seal place should be able to cross reference your seal size with one that they can get. The pinion seal that I got didn't have the outer dust seal, but it still holds the oil in, which is better then what the old one w...

Re: Kelowna

If you don't want to take all day to get back out, we have to exit the trails at a different place from where we go in. Thus the trailer would be at the wrong place.

Oh yeah, if we could meet Saturday by 10:00 AM, that would work for that time line.

Some great pictures there Myers!

It's too bad I couldn't make it this year, I really wanted to wheel Moab! Maybe some year we can plan to do the Rubicon as I haven't done that yet either.

I haven't figured out yet if it's a fuel issue or weak spark issue. Very hard to start, barely ran, then dies. Plugs are wet, spark seems weak. I ran out of daylight and had to quit, for now.
