What province?

I got the email. Want to stay on

I wish I could be there, but unfortunately I'll be in Jasper Boarding

So is anyone up for something this weekend? The weather looks like It's going to be great, we should head out and do some wheeling. We can meet at the Sherwood Park Tim Hortons on Broadmoor BLVD and Hwy 16 (right by the flying J's). Meet at 9:00 am, and head out towards Long Lake from there. Cheers, Evan.

I bought my GF and Myself an Ipod Nano New Jacket Electric Fireplace for our new house Gift Cert from Rona for our new bathroom vanity electric frying pan Pulp Fiction Kill Bill Vol 1 (already had vol 2) a bird feeder for our yard new toque (made by sister) a bunch of sushi making stuff and a couple of cook books Darwins Awards new addition awesome stocking stuffers other great stuff Dirty Sex from my GF.

If it's going to be sunday let it be sunday the 7th (sorry about the days mentioned above, my bad for looking at the 2006 calender) Day run out to Long lake, unless the snow is too deep, in which case we should probably just meet for food and bevies. We'll make the call on the wheeling a little closer to the date, and if someone is out there before hand they can let us know the general conditions. Cheers, Evan.

I'll keep my eyes open. (blind men don't see crap man)

Someone with a winch would be great, I'd love to say that I'll have mine by then, but I'd be lying. The Bruderheim area is only about 45 min max out of the city, and the long lake area about 1 hr 15 min. I'd be down for either of those. We can make it the following weekend if anyone is interested, I was just picking random dates. If we meet up to go wheeling, it will be weather dependent (last thing we need is someone breaking down or getting a long stuck at -30 with a high windchill). I'd love to get out and do some wheeling, so my vote is to make this a wheeling trip, and if things work out better at the time approaches to make it a bevie/food thing only, then I'd still love to meet up with people. We should probably organize our rides (features and capabilities). And last time I checked most Pathy's were 4 seaters, so anyone that doesn't have a rig and still wants to come is more than welcome to hop in with me. I have an 87 lifted 6 inches (t bar and JGC springs, 3" body), 33x10.5x15 BFG MT's, Tow points front and rear, hi lift, shovel, 20' of chain and 20' of tow strap, and a few other goodies. Everyone is welcome, from Stock to Shock, we'll pick our terrain based on the turnout. For the Record, I'll split any pizza equally with those who participate, but I'll also order (not pay for) jugs of beer and enough glasses for everyone that LOOKS of age. And I did say eith for drinks OR wheeling and then a few drinks. Cheers everyone. Evan

Fellow Edmontonians/Northern ALbertan's, I want to meet some other like minded peoples to meet up and talk shop about pathy's with. We can either meet in town for a drink or head out for a day of wheeling locally and then go for a bevvie or two. I'm thinking sometime in early january on friday jan 6 or saturday the 7th. Post up your ideas for places to meet and or wheel locally (within 1 hr for wheeling). If anyone from other locales want to make the drive feel free!! Cheers, Evan.

I'm actually living in sherwood park now, renovating the house in the city. I work at West Ed and Downtown at the citadel, so I'm kind of all over. If you want to get together for a beer sometime, let me know. Cheers, Evan.

I'll have to go pound the ground away from the pavement soon to see if your theory proves itself. I'll have to take some pics and try for TOTM again. Cheers, Evan.,

Thanks for the tips. I'll check this weekend. Speaking of Steering components, are the Calmini and L&P CL's made of special steel, or just Mild steel? I have access to all kinds of joints, heims, etc that I could use in the fabrication of a home made CL (fabricator/welder for west edmonton mall and we use all kinds of this stuff in the maintenence of the rides in the amusement park). Cheers, Evan.

Had a lot of snow up here in Edmonton over the last month or so. I have mostly found that the rear LSD is sufficient for moving me through the stuff, but on slippery nights it's nice to have the 4wd. I notice that when I'm driving on snow covered pavement (still very little traction though) that when in 4wd and accelerating the truck wants to pull to the right all the time, and when coasting it seems to be all over the road. The truck drove fine in 4wd offroad until recently. This is the first time that I've used the truck on road in 4wd. But there are other conditions that may lead to this: 1. Recently changed tires from 33x12.5x15 (Interco TSL's) to 33x10.5x15 (BFG Mud Terrains). 2. At the same time I changed the tires, I changed the hubs from 1 warn premium and 1 selectro to two Mile Marker Street master (near as I can tell from comparable pictures). The reason for changing them is that the Selectro went Kaboom while trying to pull someone out in reverse in 4 lo. (POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO CV Shaft?) 3. When I bought my truck, I received an additional front differential. I'm not sure if this one is the factory one from my truck, or and additional one that they included with the purchase. My thoughts are that the diff in my truck is a replacement, and may have different gearing than the rear. I haven't checked yet, but if you have experience with this then I may have found my solution. I'm leaning towards the damaged CV shaft, or incorrect installation of the hubs leading to one drive tire engaging and the other not, but I could be wrong. If anyone has experience with this themselves, please let me know. Evan. -bounce-

SAS swap or body lift are about your only chance at more than 3 inches. I think

No Beers? My personal vote would be the landcruiser, 81 series, but I'd only want a manual tranny, turbo diesel. I've loved those things forever, and if I were to import something, that would be it. But the terrano would be a great way to go as well.
