Nice photos.. I especially like one with the ice(?) on the bumper. Must've been some deep, cold water on that one.

I'm not saying that breather extentions are a must-do for everyone. I don't even particularly like the deep stuff, but considering how easily accessible the ends are.. for a 20 minute mod that gives you peace of mind I figured I might as well. It's not gonna have any negative side affects that I can see.

As far as the snorkel goes.. that'll be another peace of mind mod. In this beautiful province of ours, whether you like wheeling in deep water or not.. it's almost a given that you'll encounter it while wheeling/exploring. I hate turning around. Haha I'm gonna wait to see the final design for the Rugged Ridge one to make up my mind, but I love the idea of having it modular.

Sounds like a good plan.
We need to get some local trips setup as well.

Definately.. you know how to get a hold of me. Let me know when you know the dates, and I'll try to make sure I'm around.

Yes.. yes we do. I figured that would be the main topic of discussion if we all meet up for beers. I know some nice areas in the Okanagan.. but I'm always keen to see more. The majority of my wheeling before the JK was done in the lower rainland.

If you guys from the Okanagan Valley wanna meet up at Trout Lake for a run in August/September - I am planning on heading up either Silver Cup Ridge, Healy Creek or even Meadow Mountain. Just have to wait till this stupid snow in the high elevation melts! Once that day comes I will put some feelers out in another thread!

Sweet that sounds good to me. Would they be 2 or 3 day trips?

I'd love to get put wheeling your way. I was just ip there on the long weekend with the camper. I quite like that part of BC.
