Anyone on here from Kelowna??

Couldn't say for sure the colour, I was riding shotgun and we passed him on the right. My memory says MGM but it was near dusk so it could have been green.

 

Just wondering who here is from the okanagan still. Looking to do some 4x4ing this set of days off.

 

im in kelowna, won't probably be getting up in the trails until march tho.
probably try to post a kelowna meet on here in March also. hope to grow the group and plan some trips

 

Hey!
probably try to get a kelowna meet date in march! I have a super white DCLB, black pro comps on duratracs.

 

Good choice.

Looks like we have the same taste in tacoma with a change of "wheel seasoning"

 

How would people think about a small Trail run or meet on March 19?

If it happens before that I wont be able to come as I am working in Alberta driving big rigs.

 

not in kelowna but if you ever swing up to calgary hit me up or anyone from kelowna

 

I will be working out of Red Deer for the next 4-6 months if they dont change their plans. I work for Sanjel and love my job lol I will be down at country hills toyota here tomorrow for an oil change before I go home.

 

March 19th could work for me. trail run or meet and greet for coffee or beer?

what trails do you like around town?

I think the best trail for Kelowna would be the Peachland to Summerland backroad. Last time I took my old 4runner alone it took me close to 4 hours but I also was playing with stock and fiddling around figuring a path out. Depending on what people are up for there are lots of little paths and stuff out in that country to flex and test the trucks a little without being too hardcore.
I haven't done too much in Kelowna itself as I normally ride out near vernon or more north. Even then I am trying for more technically trails all the time. Most of my drives end up being basic backroads lately.

December 25 last year i got into this predicament because I didn't have a good LSD or locker in my truck lol

 

Don't think I've done peachland to summerland, that sounds interesting.

Why didn't you have a good LSD? Isn't your truck a sport?

 

They had a Electronic "LSD" which honestly didn't do much at all. I did notice when i punched the button once it was better for doing minor drifts but no two wheel drive.
Now I can do proper donuts on the spot without really trying lol. Big difference between the two.

ps. they went from Mechanical to electronic in 2011 I believe.. I Could be wrong on this as I haven't looked for a specific year.

 

So i went to the back entrance to the trail and there is easily a foot of snow on level exposed ground. The trail last time I took it had some steep cross sections so it might be prudent to wait for summer before taking that trail with others lol
Anyone else have an idea of where to go for people who just want to test out the rigs? I don't know if there is anything east of kelowna maybe?
I was thinking Knox mountain to meet up btw. I believe the bottom gate is open now and we should be able to go to the first large parking area with little resistance.

Havent posted on here in forever.... good to see people still here. Been out and about quiet a bit in last month and had some fun in the bushes. Lottsa snow still as you climb higher into the hills. The KVR from gillard to narmata is passable. King edwards lake towards Vernon was a fun adventure. Oyama lake and beaver lake have some decent trails that are passable. This past 2 weeks snows has been disappearing rapidly and i was even able to make it to the top of blue grouse which wasnt close to possible 2 weeks ago.

 

i was just looking at Blue grouse and wondering how much snow is actually up there still...

 

on a different note, i have a bed rack for sale. is anyone interested?

 

I will ask around. being an in bed unit compared to mine it will be stronger for people who want to mount some weight to it.

 

I was just thinking about this... is there a local group that teaches offroading to beginners? like in bc at all?
