So a friend was over on Tuesday and he wanted to do a shake down run snow wheeling with his Toyota He just reassembled the engine on, so I mentioned it to Stephanie and She decided it was time to take "Rosy" the Rubicon out for Her first run.

This is Stephanies second time wheeling and the first time in the bone stock TJ with car style all terrains,...

It was a very fun day ended up turning around before we hit our final destination as the snow was 3+ feet deep towards the end. After a few stucks we only popped a cap off the ujoint but drove home worry free. I now see a lift and tires in Her future :)

I ordered a 4" lift for it already,... I anticipated Her loving wheeling and wanting a bit more tire,... Lol

yes we are going to be moving there when I retire. Which may be in two years if my wife gets her way ( and we all know how that ends up right? ) in fact we may be coming to Calgary if our daughter Kath gets her way. So now I know it will be either Lethbridge area or Calgary area

Calgary!!! more wheeling closer!!!! Some rocks, Hills, sand, mud (if you like that stuff),... just about everything!

That and Lethbridge is windy as hell!

Thats a given lending a hand........getting 2 personal Jeeps back from 200 miles away is a pain.......my wife might be alot crazier than yours though, last time I asked her to hold up during a river crossing, she said "1 more", gunned it in the middle of the river, front wheels came out of the water (2.5-3' deep, rushing) (she had 6" lift/33's/rear locker) when she hit the rock shelf, slammed the nose as she exited and pulled off a 90* left had turn around a 4' stump, 6' later, slinging mud everywhere...........she was excited, I........not so much......

Have fun, it's always more fun when it's 'someone else's' Jeep.......

I agree, Lethbridge is icky.
Myself, I am a couple hours further north, in the Anti-Calgary City....lol
If you like snow that does not stick around but shows up in big dumps..then Calgary is your City...
I will stay where I am...Thank you...:D

Jennsen..you would'nt have a spare PCM for a Cherokee floating around would you?
