Hi, me and my gf moved to bc not a long time ago from Quebec. I drive a FJ cruiser with stock suspension and tires, and equipped with a winch. We both professionnals in early 30 that enjoy light trail and general outdoor sports. My gf is a bit of a girly type, so I would reallylike find a couple or two for some easy ride where I am not slowing everyone due to my setup (but dont worry I know how to get my hands dirty)... and where riding is just an occasion to go out, see some nature and maybe catch a fish and or drink a beer, if it not ending in a hot spring, a camping or a canoe.
Drop me a line if there any activities that sound like it.

Cheers,

Badaboum

Are you ever going to get a new ride Larry? Any idea what kind if yes?

 

[Badaboum]

Well thanks for the warm welcome, so who is proposing something for next week end? Got my bumper back on my truck after heavy tuning and paint job... A small trip in the back courty or simply a day at whistler... Show us beautifull BC spots!


My winch is going for a paint job this week, Might not be ready but got tons of shackles..

 

[Heep]

just wondering but why would you re paint your winch?

 

[Badaboum]

the paint is peeling... I know this wont help me get out of the wood easier... warn is not doing any sandblast to any of their part before painting thems... so paint dont stick good

he is doing what is known as "maintenance" and "up-keep" to keep his junk from looking like junk.

pics of the gf err, i mean fj :finger_1:

im sure there will be heaps of runs to get in on. to get your feet wet, i suggest the maintenance run thats every 2nd saturday. its pretty tame and good for a first outing. stock friendly, and people to help spot ya, etc. they go up harrison west road to hale creek, then sunrise, the former being more stock friendly. @ sunrise, you can always park @ the bottom and hitch a ride up...but i think an FJC or trail edition 4runner. for more of a technical run up the harrison fsr, the weaver/francis bypass adds a bit of fun.

dano82 has offered to be the tourguide for the squamish & paradise valley area. i think we should take him up on that offer... :cwm14:

At some point, yes. ;-) Still no decision on what to get.

Hey I am still looking for invites on easy trails... Dano are you still up for something?

I ordered suspension tires and rock sliders (been approved as a wholeseller), should be good for medium trails in 2-3 weeks... could certainly use a bit of help if someone has done some Old man emu? Im poor, underequipped, have plenty of time and whanna learn-understand how my truck is running....
P.S. I can order and or bring stuff back from seattle... my trip is in 1-2 week, tell me what u need...
