Whipsaw 2012

Looks like you guys had a fun time!! I would be interested in meeting up with you guys on the next run. I live in Marysville, WA - but would love to take a trip to Canada. Looks like Whipsaw would have been about a 4 hour commute each way for me. Are there any trails you guys do that would be closer my way?

 

Whipsaw is a 4 hour commute for all of us. Anything closer to us, would be farther for you. The majority of our runs are near chilliwack and are usually mid morning to late afternoon.

 

Sounds good. I will keep an eye for your next meet. Hope I will be able to join you guys!

 

Thanks for the heads up guys.

Yeah with them set to 0 Im really happy with the amount of lift. Was more than I expected and thats with the ARB bar and skid row plate on the front. Looks like even now I need bigger than 265/75/16s to fill the wheel well.. will settle of course. Did the 1/4" top plate spacer on the driver side too.. Love the stance now.

One point for me getting the 881s was to get away with not having to compress the spring for lift to allow the full travel. Very glad I didn't get the 882s. Would have been way too much.

Little dark here but you get the idea:

 

The videos christine took of the rock climbs looked way better standing from the bottom of the rock rather than the top. You can appreciate the angle a little more.
Sux how vids and pics never do justice to how difficult some of the terrain was.

I will try to get your one posted up. The one of you going down it was really cool too..

Here is a pic of that rock face from below:

 

Truck looks nice Reese! Yeah post up some vids! I didnt get much on my cam.

 

This gives good perspective on how steep it really is. It doesn't look as bad on video. It's quite steep.

That video is just awesome. The 720p looks really sharp.

 

hope you guys like it. my creativity was a little lacking

 

Great video!

 

Thanks for making the video dood!

 

Great video! glad you all enjoyed the trip and looks like everyone made it through safely!

Brought back memories of when we were out their a few weeks earlier, maybe next year a double trip for me

 

Woah, blast from the past.

good thing my truck isn't anywhere near what it was like in the video anymore

 

Just for anyone who finds this thread in a search, we ran The Whipsaw in August 2019. Was a great time. Entire thing is written up here:
