Winter Golden Rd / NMW trip (round 2)

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this trip

 

Sooo we doing a two truck trip then? If you are still down Zach lets do it

 

I would love to go, but have work on the 14th and cant get time off for it.. would love to go, but already took my RTT off.. its sitting in my basement now.

 

I might just back out too then, my girlfriend just got scheduled for work that day anyways. I will hold out till the spring north woods trip instead itll be better weather.

 

Damn dude that sucks. Well if anything changes, Ill be going either way even if its just by myself haha. Winter trips up there are always the best imo.

 

Well, anyone else interested?

 

I am really interested. I have explored the NMW quite a lot while hunting and fishing. I haven't been in that area during snow season. However, between busy work and getting ready for Christmas, not a good time of year for me. I REALLY hope to go on the May trip. Please keep me in mind for that one.

 

Nice! I think you're talking about the trip @Arcticelf is putting together. That was a ton of fun last year

 

i'd go if we made this a EARLY Sunday thru Monday/Tuesday trip... or meet up late on Saturday night, and head in early Sunday morning... I'd be down for something like that...

 

Damn, not sure I can swing that. I work M-F normally and already have been cleared to take the Fri before this off from work

 

I'm not going to be able to make it this year.

 

You know.. Just in case

 

I have thought about getting a spare for myself, where did you go through? most i've seen for $70-100 depending on core charge. dont have the coin for RCV stuff yet.

 

Smart. But talk about a job I'd hate to do in the Maine cold!

 

I'd be bringing plenty of gloves, a warm jacket, and some INSULATED coveralls..

hot hands heat packs are good to have on hand too...

 

I have an easy way to pop it out but hard to explain it better to show you.

 

Did a bit of looking around on here. Seems most people recommend MasterPro if only used as a trail spare. So thats what I picked up last night. Lifetime warranty too, so I wouldnt feel too bad about just leaving it in there if I ever did have to use it.

Is it a rope? I got a "CV lasso" a while ago. Basically a lightweight piece of synthetic winch rope with a noose on one end and a loop on the other. Lasso goes around the CV at the diff, and a BFH goes in the loop. Havent done it myself, but I hear great things

Weather still looks super shitty this weekend too, rain and upper 30s. But oh well

 

Yep I use a cable though.

 

Nice. Yeah I havent had to do one yet, and hopefully I dont anytime soon
