I wouldnt touch Whipsaw any time soon with the fire situation.
AND I want to do it again so you should wait
Currently sitting in a campground on the US side of the border. Finished WABDR today. Pretty awesome views!!!
2,600km in the last 5 days, at least amother 3,000 in the next week before getting home. Truck took the heat (37deg.C) like a champ!
Crowsnest is completely banned to 4x4's as of the latest map. I posted it in another thread, internet it spotty cant check it right now.
I am hoping to spend a few days touring around the ruby area to find some new stuff later in Aug.

I spent a ton of time building that roof rack for the Mackenzie. Didnt end up needing it for this trip...
Rear drawers were the best addition. The organization was massively helpful.
The lower drag link rod end needs to be redone with an EMF straight pin rod end. Other then that the new steering was aces.
12" Icons ride great and control the weight well. There was a perfectly offset whoop section that flexed the front and rear opposite 16" or so, truck stayed nice and flat. The front seems to move alot smoother and more balanced with the rear. Unfortunately I tore the top pin mount clean out of the shock body... Icon HQ apologized profusely, as that obviously shouldnt happen, and are sending a replacement to Nanaimo for me, should see it in a couple days. Awesome customer service from those guys!
All in all pretty impressed with the old girl. I can sit in those seats longer than my 2014 F150!!!

We got out Sat night to grave flats. Myself, Lara, Elijah and the beagle Casey(his first time wheeling, and he did great!). The area was packed for long weekend shenanigans. One group even had rave lights and an outdoor movie projector. I met my neighbor and his buddies out there. They were 4 friends wheeling a built Jeep Cherokee and a stockish TJ. They had done Ruby Falls run on Sat so we did Crystal Falls on Sunday. The weather was amazing! We hiked down to the falls of course, and I was surprised that there was no water flowing at the upper fall! On the trail the only incidents of note was stopping every 20min to spray the TJ's rad out. Must be a Jeep thing. My front wheel slipped off a large root on a bypass, leaving me high centered on a control arm. Sat night the others left and my kids and I moved to a quieter camp spot. Well, the river was louder though. And light show was spectacular, lightning and thunder at 2am! At least it didn't rain on us. In the midst of a busy summer it was great to take even this short trip out to unwind a bit. Hope to see you on the trails!
Hi Leo,
