Canadian Wheeling

[rodeored]

Two of us went to Calabogie, Ontario (in Canada) for a weekend run of the trails in the area... easy to get lost in there.

white rodeo 3" body + 3" susp. + 33" mudders, limited slip rear
black rodeo 5" susp. +33" mudders + aussie locker in rear

basically there are logging/cottage roads, snowmobile, ATV trails and Hydro lines. the hydrolines are the most technical, the snowmobile trails are full of water holes and rough patches. you could drive for days

great area.

anyway. on to the pics

day 1/3 - playing at the trail head







hydro line trail, one section;. this hill was stupid steep. going back up was fun - no wheel spin with my new aussie rear locker






both of us got hung up here




camped on the hydro line -
testing out the new Kangaroo Chasers.... 6 lights are sooo bright



Day 2/3
next morning staying on the trial -- very technical trail, lots of off camber stuff, ledges..




not as much mud there as i would have liked!



nice lake spot




i was hauling a christmas tree



back on the hydrocut





this hydro line was hardly used - the trail was not very clear




crawlin' down a steep hill. had to winch back up it. Not the Aussie though that puppy crawled up the hill












Campsite - flagged a nice one early on


trucks are natural swimmers



went on another mission. ended up on a totally wrong trail - but it was a good one. the Quinn Trail, is a BF Goodrich "outstanding trail"

and then the stuck of the year occurs





tire kept digging and digging. once finally out the hole was like 3 feet deep




back at the site

Day 3/3


this partridge was attacking our tires




little hole on a hill




45 degree incline

Fabulous location - great tracks. How did you find the performance of the lsd truck compared with the rear lokka truck?

well, on 80% of the trail there was no difference except the aussie locker was the one making all the racket.. on hill climbs though it was 900% better. the LSD truck had to claw its way up, the locked one walked up. mine is the locked one. this was the first run with it, i have never ran one before. its lovely. paired with my new 4.77 gearing, the 33's are a dream....

the hydro lines are technically off limits, but when you are out on them its just you and the flies so nobody says boo.....

good times. there were some more crazy sections but we were driving, not photoging

Hey rodeored, Thanks heaps for the pics. I am sure we all appreciate that taking pics takes time away from wheeling, unless you have a cameraman, and can sometimes be a pain in the bum. Looks like all had a fantastic time. I just love that countryside, you are very lucky. I still cant get used to that round thing in the cab obstructing the view of the passenger though Was interesting to see LHD on vid like that. I imagine for those of us never having seen it or experienced it before, it would take some getting used to when we first hopped in your passengers seat and had nothing in front of us. We would be like . Would be interesting actually ... lol. Keep the pics of your adventures coming.
