Carp Trail June 21

[bradleyfitz]

Thanks, I had a plethera of Canadian Tire money so I picked one up there. 2" 20' 7,000lbs. I'll pick up something better eventually but for now I think this will do.

YJ - My concern is if I will need to change my diif fluids afterwards. This is all pretty new so I don't know.

Is that 7000 lbs or 17 000 lbs? A stuck vehicle in mud will require a strap with a breaking strength of anywhere between 100% and 300% of the loaded weight of the vehicle. Which is why Richard recommended an 18k lbs strap.

Better to apply that money towards a heavier duty strap IMO :beer:

Ops, sticky keyboard. It's 17,000

 

[ajh]

Is a stock FJ Cruiser with stock tires going to be OK on that? A friend might come along and that's what they've got

 

[Richard]

Can someone else take over leading this trail run? I'm overloaded with work and renovations and don't have time for this.

 

[Mitko]

I will take it for you Rick

 

[Richard]

Thanks Mitko, much appreciated. :beer:

 

[98JeepXJ]

any Idea on what time we would be meeting up at Zellers in BC?

 

[Mitko]

Leaving Zellers 9am sharp, meeting whoever comes in Carp about 9.30sh.

 

[chunkytrunks]

I'm in, I'll meet in carp.

 

[JeepJen]

I will be at Zellers by 9am, if that means I have to leave hubby in bed sleeping

 

[Kunker]

See you guys in Carp at 9:30.

 

[snippy]

I'm going to be at Zellars for 9am as well, gonna get extra sleep tonight so I don't sleep through my alarm again

 

[bradleyfitz]

We will be departing Zellers at 9:00, so for anyone that is late (this includes 9:01), if there is no one in the parking lot, move on to the Carp fairgrounds.

My cell is 613.882.7507 for anyone running late.

Don't forget bug spray, bugs are still bad.

Brad.

 

[Kunker]

Still meeting those in Carp at the arena, or the fairground? Or is it the same thing?

 

[Richard]

The fairgrounds cover a much bigger area, the arena is more specific. And the Farmer's Market will be open using up much of the fairgrounds.

Meeting details

So when/where are we starting from ?
Tony

 

[Mitko]

Tony, 2 meeting points:
Zelers parking BC 900am
Carp fairground parking 930am

 

[Kunker]

I'll be at the fairgrounds in a stock white Samurai...see you guys tomorrow!

 

[bradleyfitz]

As Richard mentioned, the fairgrounds is not quite the same as the arena. I always thought of it as one and the same, but I know where to meet, so it's irrelevant.

If you're meeting in Carp, look for all the other trucks. If you're the only one around 9:30, odds are you're in the wrong spot

This should be the correct spot in Carp, someone correct me if I'm wrong (yet again).

That's the spot.
