Long Travel BS Thread

Triflo is the only way. If you live/wheel in a particularly sandy/muddy environment, I really like the triflo dry lube. Grey lable squeeze bottle. Only way I can them alive with the salt/sand here. Less grit and grime sticks to the dry lube.

 

I would probably go wssx, I find the liners blow out pretty easy, and as soon as they do you have an insane amount of slop that just exacerbates the issue.

Telkwa pass is nice, I almost smoked a moose there once. Was driving along at a decent clip and suddenly there were just legs running in front of the truck. Jammed the brakes and this monster moose buck books it into the woods. Heart in mouth moment.

You probably already know, but microwave mountain is a nice spot to drive I to the alpine and camp off the telkwa.

I grew up on Haida Gwaii. If you're in that area and have the time, I would highly recommend it. Not many places like that left in the world. If you go I can give you some good places to check out.

We shot a video of our trip there several years ago. I need to go back.

Yea WSSX seems like the move, I think I’ll keep an eye on the play but target swapping them when I’m back in Michigan at a friend’s garage to do a bunch of maintenance and upgrades in November. I’ll reach out if I need it done sooner because then you’re my best bet!

I will definitely be extra cautious about moose! So far haven’t seen any moose tracks in the mud, so maybe it’s not the season for them anymore. I think hunting season started so they may be staying farther from the road/trails too.
We missed microwave mountain but are currently camped by what may or may not be Top Lake… GAIA and google name the previous upstream lake Top Lake but this is definitely the pretty one with the waterfalls that everyone has pictures of.

Thanks for the tip on Haida Gwaii. While it was on our radar I mistakenly assumed it was further south and we would hit it on a future trip. With the wildfires blowing up again the smoke isn’t great where we’re at and where we were thinking of heading so we’re researching Haida Gwaii now! (And how doggo friendly the ferry is)
I would absolutely love any spot/tips you can provide! I’ll check out your vid tonight!
