Good to know.
I should be fine with the 45L rear tank but I may carry some extra just in case. The old 2F gets real thirsty in snow and mud.

I'll be packing a couple of cans of gas myself.

Were in
Chris H and I will be leaving SURREY around NOON, on FRIDAY . Chris does not finish work until that morning, so he would like to get a few hours of sleep before departing. See you all at base camp. Barry

Oh crap!
I'm out... 62 sprung a fuel leak from the tank, looks like the top of the tank, either way tank has to be dropped. Don't have time to look at this week, Red Reefer has a replacement tank for me (Thank You Rob) but I won't be able install until the long weekend.

Too bad Jeff. Probably just the gasket on the top access. Isn't there and access plate from the back of the 62?
I can't go either. Was hoping too but time passes way to fast. Maybe the Canada Day week run. I'm too far behind in all kinds of work at home and in the office - not to mention that I haven't done the lift yet and my shocks are shot for any off road work.
BTW, there is still at least 3' of snow at the top of Manning Park with maybe about 4-6" on open South facing ground. I'd be suprised if snow was encountered. Lots of bears around as well. We saw 4 blackies today. Someone should bring some bear bangers just in case the smell of cooking polish sausages are just too tempting for blackie.
Hey Guys,
As the official cook for team Van Hove I'm preparing the food for this expedition... Just wondering if we can have campfires up there? This will be essential to my "all hotdog" meal plan!

No point in camping without a fire!
The fire ban is usually in August, so no worries.

That sucks Phil. Why not take one of the other trucks?

Kids would be riding on the roof (-:
The 40 hasn't been started in about 8 months, probably not a good idea to get in and go.
Oh ya, the 35's have been to Rubicon, and I haven't been to Rubicon in over 10 years, the sidewalls are flaking off. The HJ has been stripped down to get her ready for sale. I really need to get the 62 put together so she's ready for a summer of wheelin'.

it's probably the pick up tube and not the actual tank

That's expensive for a steel tube. Can you make one, like you would make up your own brake line.

Jeez, and I just happen to know someone going to Rubicon this year, in comfy air-conditioned style, with a spare seat!
