Our Club Forum is now Public.

[Stone]

Hi everyone:

It seems like what I was hearing was that people who were interested in the 'MUD board would like it to be a public one so that others from around the continent who frequent IH8MUD would get a chance to check out what Coastal Cruisers is about. Also, it would provide a great oppurtinuty for local BC Cruiserheads who aren't members yet to be able to "hang out" with us, join us for Club runs, and see if joining the Club would be of interest to them.

I think this is a great idea...we would still have Topica for our Club business online. So, a request was made and thanks to Woody, this morning our forum is no longer Private. Thank you Woody!

I thought I would post up some pics of Club members' rides here, as a way of introducing ourselves. Feel free to join in.

Annual Club meeting in Cypress Bowl 2004 (did everyone buy a parking ticket already?):

Bill's (Scalp) FJ40:

Gary T.'s SOA BJ60:

Deny's BJ40(?) and Jim's BJ60 in the snow:

Sheldon (70's guy) picking up his HJ61 at the docks (my BJ74 with the garbage bag after a scumbag smashed my window):

Greg B.'s BJ74:

I'll try and post up more if I have them. If any of you need me to host some pics for you, just let me know. I have room for a few. Cheers.

Not true...Sheldon (70'2 guy) has a FZJ80, aka the "Fifiwagon" as opposed to "Das Poowagen" of Greg B.'s.

I'll have you know Das Poo Vagon, also known as the Abomination..."cause ya don't need no stink'n SOA to do a cut and turn", is now driving off the fuel tank instead of a 4l jug in the engine bay...

[Stone]

Awesome, Greg! So was it a pinhole on the fuel tank up take tube?

Looks like you took the big Wild Country meats off and put on your SSRs from the BJ74 instead...curious why?

 

[Greg_B]

Forget if that was last year or the year before, when I had delusions I would be able to wheel the high lift SUA DPV I had the SSR's on. When I realized it was going to be a pavement princess for a while longer the Wild Country's went on, and the BJ74 inherited the SSR's.

[Derek A]

haha.. I love that picture Greg.. I want to go do that trail again now that I am bigger..

 

[Riley]

I don't know why I didn't notice the BC CC club forum till now.

Amazing how the MUD board is growing.

 

[MiniPigg]

Nice Cruisers!

 

[Stone]

Derek...you need a Snorkel!

 

[MiniPigg]

I can't wait to move back to Fidalgo Island. Hope we can all hook up and wheel when we make it back home.

 

[brownbear]

Is there every any trips in the northern areas? Or in the middle. I am trying to decide if a CC membership will get used by me. Hate to buy it and never participate. Or is there more to it? I do plan on joining TLCA and most likely others.

 

[Deny]

I don't think it would be to worth it for you, as you probably won't get out to any meetings, or get discounts at any local stores, unless you use lordco a lot, and plus if you ever want to come wheeling to a semi northern trip with us, you don't have to be a member, as we welcome all cruiser heads to our runs(and hell anyone that wants to wheel no matter what they drive). I think the farthest northern trip we went on was Windy Ridge/ Big bar.
Cheers,
Deny

 

[brownbear]

Thanks, thats kinda what I was thinking. where abouts is windy ridge?

 

[Deny]

Windy ridge, is a trail that we started from pemberton, went up to Goldbridge I think, then up though mud lakes and apparently goes up around Gang Ranch. We never finished it, as a mamber had a close encounter with a steep, slippery road and lucky for some trees avoided the steep revine. (there are write ups about this trail on the internet) We ended up going over the China head trail to Big bar. We also usually go to big bar every long weekend (past 3 years) thats up on the Fraser River past Lilloet.
Cheers,
Deny
