Price is down to $4500 obo. I want this thing gone, make me an offer!

Just to clarify, you guys didn't do the whole trail from Williams Lake to Bella Coola, right? Is that even possible?

Hey, next time you take the time to punch out one of these trip reports can you please post some pics?

I would second that. I did Whipsaw in August and I wouldn't want to do it alone. The comment that there may be other vehicles passing through MAY be true, but by that time I think the trail has seen the bulk of through-traffic and you'd be more likely than not to be up s*** creek without a...

I packed my wheel bearings, knuckle bearings, and birfields with Chevron NLGI #2 grease about 6000km ago, everything is working great. I'm no certified lube engineer, but I'm fairly sure that as long as it meets the "NLGI #" grade, it's considered appropriate for whatever application that...

Found another good one on my friend's facebook. All in all, it was a really great trip. I split the drive there and back into 2 days each just because I didn't want to push the Cruiser too hard, not knowing how it would behave. It drove flawlessly there and back again, and did extremely well...

This Jeep hooked his fender on one of the trees along the side. Taking the bypass to IFS Ledge. Poser shot My bro in law stuck good Taco took a tug.

This obstacle is Memorial Rock, which is so named because someone died attempting it in a Samurai which flipped over backwards. It's about 40 degrees steep. I didn't try it. Wish I did. This obstacle is known as the Tank Trap. It's a good test for the suspension, whether you cross it...

Here is a little background info on the Whipsaw trail, for the history buffs amongst us. It's not just any old trail, it's a step back in time to the time of the HBC fur trade and the Cariboo gold rush, and even before that, to the natives who must have used it as a trade or travel route...

Just got back from the trip, here's a couple teaser shots:

Look into the Hell Creek Suspension kit as well. Not to be confused with Hell For Stout, they are more reasonably priced than OME (and HFS), made in the USA, and have excellent reviews and customer service. I don't think you can go wrong. Hell Creek Suspensions, Inc.

Did some more wheeling on Saturday, was an all-day trip up on Nine Mile Mountain by Hazelton, an hour's drive northwest of home. A little bit rough and rocky in a few places, but no sweat for the Cruiser, but the S15 behind me had a few new dings and dents both on the bottom and the passenger...
