Should be fairly early it still gets dark pretty quick out there. How about 9:00 9:30? What do you think daveyramone. I think you need to drive the farthest? You guys bringing anyone? Have a couple buds who might come. And the gf if we can find a sitter.

I'll have to let you know closer to Sunday. I've been suffering from the stomach flu this week and don't really want to go wheeling wearing a diaper.

9:30 sounds great to me, I think Im bring the wife and dogs.

Sweet. So far it is just the two of us.Island4x4 says he doesn't have the cash, and Daveyramone is sick. If he has what I had I doubt he will make it. What kind of wheeling you looking to do? Do you want to put the Jeep through its paces or take it easy. Have you done much wheeling up there?

[BCJEEP]

I've been in there ATV 8 10 times in the last year but I have only been 4x4ing in there once in 1996.
I think I am looking for a little on then just logging roads, but Im not looking for to many new scratches.

How about you? I have seen some of your cool pics.

Do you mean more?
Cause I have been thinking about a pretty good trail that doesn't push the difficulty too high when it is dry. Couldn't get through the entrance last week, the snow was still pretty deep. Lifted on 31's shouldn't have any problems if it has melted some. Trying to get a buddy who's not on the forum to bring his tj up. Still pretty new to wheeling.

[BCJEEP]

Ya thats what I ment, sorry doing to may things at once.

That trail sounds great.

So You have 33" tires do you have a standard or auto trans?
what gearing ? I want to know how the jeep drives with 33"

[Y2KWRANGLER]

3.5" re superflex
Manual tranny
3.07 gears

[BCJEEP]

Does it still get up and go? What speed are you able to go up the Malahat?
How many Km do you get out of a tank?

What?!? It's fatal?!?

I'm hoping the road, er, trail to recovery is quick. My wife's going up to Nanaimo for the weekend which means for once, I'm actually free to play! Stupid intestines...

It stll has plenty of get up and go.
Malahat is not a problem. Easily do 110 but in 3rd most of the time. I get around 400km to a tank. Maybe a little less. Havn't really checked. The major drawback to 33's and 3.07 gears is the loss of 5th gear. Almost never use it. Going down hill maybe. I do lots of wheeling so the 33" tires and clearance offroad make up for any street disadvantages. The extra width of the tires makes a huge differnce on road on off. Way more stable.

[Y2KWRANGLER]

Anyone else out there?
So far just me and BCJEEP are for sure. Would like to get a couple more Jeeps out.
