Whipsaw 2012

You can run it pretty easily in a stocker, if you've got real skid plates. Calgaryrider had a slight mishap with what we call "mini rubicon fetus"...his tcase "shield" took a good hit and punched two nice holes in his t case. Could easily fit your fingers through.

With good driving, and good skids, it is stocker friendly. We didn't do any recoveries.

 

thats good to hear, how were the mosquitoes?

DJ - i'm gonna get smitty bilt

 

I'll totaly commit to going up whipsaw, only I can't get off work any earlier than 2:00pm on Friday. If the plan is To be in hope at 10:00am I'll be about 5 hours behind everybody.

Is anybody willing to leave Later and cruise up together to meet the rest of the group?

 

if i had skids i would run with you guys. just don't wanna bust up my stuff.

 

I got no skids too . Just gotta take it slow on the gnarly stuff

 

I just have the stock skids, if you can call them that. But it's better than nothing! Lol

 

I am out for this run.

 

The trail is actually in really good shape this year, I personally have issues with the trail. I did complete it this year, but as Spoonman mentioned my tcase took a bit of a hit....

Its trail fixed but now I need to find a really good tcase skid.

If you are going to run it at stock height, take the bypasses, walk the hill climbs before going up them, and avoid the puddles (deceivingly deep)

I think my drive out was just as epic as the trail.... with the mudslide in Banff, the wind/rain storm on the 3 that took out power to several towns, and the 14+ hour drive from Calgary to Princeton...

 

Does anyone have a spare screen tent they can bring? I dont wanna be eaten alive by bugs! Chain saw would also be a good idea?

 

I know I was just stating that I would need to get one

 

Skitters were ridiculous.

Great Video Jamie! Man I want to go back!!!!

 

You made it look easy!!

 

Is there anyone else? If you have a CB, atleast 2 trucks have em and can communicate with you on the trail if you can make it later.

We should find out who's going for sure. I forgot to mention, I am only able to do to one night. Are we all meeting up in hope or vancouver?

 

Bump for Who's in for sure - I'll camp one or 2 nights - doesn't really matter to me. The trail can be done in one day.

Bluesteel
WEstcoast
BoostJunky + Arvin
VA7FQT
singlefin?
jr97TAcoma?


and there are possibly 3 or 4 from the FJ forum

 

I don't have a cb, I have a VHF/UHF tho. Same idea, different frequencies.
If I cant find anyone to cruise up with at 2:00. I'll probably just sit this one out.

 

Whats the date again?

Im waiting for my friend to finish his solid axle swap so i probly wont be doing until late august or September if anyone wants to join then

 

JR - we're meeting in Hope, Friday Aug 10, 10 - 10:30

 

Update - now 5 confirmed from the other forum, 3 maybes. Going to be a good time!
