TEC || Ardbeg Fall Run 2020 (Oct 2 - 4)

From the US? More like $1700 CAD after shipping: https://sleeoffroad.com/product/sok1276/

Coastal Off Road in Vancouver has a tube kit for $700 CAD after shipping: https://www.coastaloffroad.com/product-page/65-weld-on-rock-slider-kit You'd have to get it welded and powdercoated locally.

 

@Tech HoFFinaTor you figure out if you're down to tag along? apparently it's a big crowd going. We have a few non-taco guys coming

 

Is October less friendly for stock vehicles or does it matter?

 

Well, I know @Taco-Can mentioned Something regarding his son who does some fabrication. Also ct-motorsports may be able to order something cheaper. @pete37 wrks at creditstone auto parts and is awesome to work with. He may be able to help you out too

 

Get the ones that are powdercoated. Or get.them powder coated. My painted ones didn't even last I run. The paint that is.

 

The trail in general can be done stock. October may be a bit wet, but Ardbeg is very rocky and has little “mud holes” unless you go looking for them.

met had a stock 2020 last trail run and at the end of the day, ask for a spot and we will get you through. I’m hoping we will be in a camp spot that I have seen vans and suvs go through. Including a uhail

 

I've done the south trail once before or at least part of it. Only had an issue at 1 spot really

 

That's what we will be doing mostly as we try and clean up the campsites off that trail and what not. if you are feeling brave you can try some of the offshoots. If my truck makes it out, I will be taking it easy.....Recovering from the last trip still.

 

You should conference with the russian, he has a different 1st campsite selected.

 

Unless you like waking up under buzzing power lines while camping it’s a location #2

He never reads

 

lol I didnt read. Are we at doglake? That one is still pretty easy to get too as well. Lots to clean up there as well.

 

we are at Black Lake

 

That’s the one I was thinking! Perfect spot. Easy to get to. I have seen people drive their vans and stuff past there. All going to the boat lunch down the north trail.

 

it's practically a paved road

 

Guys Guys,

Get on the same boat here, you are all sailing in different directions.

I am pretty sure we will be at site #2 that Peter and Shveeeeet are talking about.

Site #1 is not big enough for the group going.

 

I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH ANYTHING AT ARDBEG. I'VE ONLY BEEN ONCE IN MY LIFE AND I NEVER REALLY GOT A TOUR GUIDE EITHER.

THIS IS THE ONLY CAMPSITE THAT I KNOW OF.

 

Dont worry, I have come to realize that I use GPS software and are on trails more than most of you.

I take for granted I always know exactly where I am going, and where I am. It drives me insane if I don't know.

When I see a miscommunication regarding location developing, I smother that bad boy fast. I want everyone on the same page.

 

All depends. Site one is pretty big too and is close to the beach which is good for people who are new to get to. Site two is nicer but meh. At the end of the day those two spots get confused as they are on the same road and are both easily accessible and nice.

The front page is the ultimate. We are just discussing and have some time to solidify everything. At the end of the day both sites may be taken and we are starting over. See how it all goes down.

 

Black lake
Campsite #1 45°38'08.5"N 80°10'11.9"W -> preferred option, if you are new and never been at that location make sure you have somebody who is familiar to that location. It's bumpy there!

Round lake
Campsite #2 45°38'55.0"N 80°10'44.8"W, plan B


Dogfish lake
Campsite #3 45°36'34.1"N 80°08'48.0"W, plan C

I know everyone knows this but it helps me to simplify things.. may help other too

 

I once was on site #1 with 10 Camping trailers there and 12 trucks, you telling me 20 trucks won’t fit
