    Yeah it has been awhile. I have not been out to many meets as before as I am just busy. Knee is geting there but way slower than I would like but at least it is going in the right direction.

    No wheeling adventures for a while for me but hopefully in the spring I can get back out there. I miss looking at that beauty and I hope to see it again in the spring.

    Have fun out there this weekend and stay warm, it's going to be a frosty one. :cheers:

    Yea I hear ya...I've been crazy busy pushing to get houses done before the big deep freeze. But...still haven't worked a weekend in ~4 years so I can't complain haha. That's good to hear about your knee! I think every time it see you I ask about it and it seems to be getting better! So that's good!

    You'll have to get out in the spring time and have some fun. The trail systems have changed dramatically...for the good that is haha. Im sure we'll cross paths soon! We'll have to get a tacomaworld meet going perhaps at a pub or something for some wings and cold one soon!

    I'll make sure I post some pictures up in my build thread of the adventure tmw and perhaps Sunday :D

    Great day wheeling gents, a little chilly in the morning but it warmed up quite nicely. Not too much excitement other than James sliding backwards down a hill.

    Ya that hill was way too icy to be travelling on. Get it up to 40k wasn't the best idea as 40 up turned to what felt like 60 backwards with no braking or steering ability.

    I was thinking about you guys on that day as big white fluffy snow was coming down. I was thinking how much fun you guys must be having and looking at the pictures it seems like I was right.

    Great photos and love all the rigs. Hopefully in the spring we can get out and yes I tried to set up a Tacoma meet last year but with the short notice I could not get anything going.

    I was hoping to have one central so the guys from Edmonton could come down and meet us half way like Sylvan Lake.

    I am going to try again this year if I can find the time. Last year I talked to the Manager/Owner of the A&W in Sylvan Lake to set something up like they do with their Old Car shows but I gave them little notice. So might try them again this year or another place.

    We shall see and I will keep you posted.

    Once again some great looking shots.

    Dave...you are THE MAN! That's a great idea. If you'd like to work together on that I'd be happy to make some phone calls and set something up with a restaurant in sylvan or even red deer. Let's make it happen!!

    Yeah I will hopefully start looking into it mid December when things slow down for me at work and I can send you some information (email, number etc) and we work on it together and see what we come up with. Hopefully it will turn out okay. Maybe we can get a dealership involved or a couple of restaurants involved. I am sure we can think something up good.

    It would just be nice to meet some other menbers we talk to all the time on here

    Yeah looking forward to seeing you again. Love that truck of yours as well and hoping for a lot of central members to come out. Hopefully it will be a good one.

    Sounds good Dave! We'll keep in touch about this, and make it happen. Sounds like a fun time!


    And for anyone else...I'm running Fisher East tmw morning. At the store for 8, then at the trail head for 8:30. So far it's my room mate and myself. Anyone looking to get out and enjoy the day shoot up a post and let me know!

    Just posting to say hi and to get any tips and tricks from you pros about what the best headlight/tail light upgrade can be found. Also looking to get some good rims and tires for offroading.

    Seems like most of the the truck parts places around Calgary dont seem to stock anything that seems good.

    If you guys can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.

    Thanks!
