New to the Island

Hi my names Nick, I recently just moved here ( 2 weeks ago ) from Alberta, but originally from Ontario. I just quit my job and drove my rig out here even though i had so many plans for it.. oh well, happiness is more important than money. Right now i am not working so the truck is at a stand still pretty much, I am looking for a bumper so i could wire in a winch, but its hard to find any for chevys... So the truck is a 1990 k5 blazer, got 4-5 inches of lift, 3/4 ton axles, 33x12.5 dick cepek Fun countrys, ( going to 35s now that i have the proper gearing), G80 posi in the rear, 3.73 gears, SM465 tranny, NP241 transfer case, and all the other work i did to it was basically making it safe again for anyone to ride in, in the mean time i was wondering what trails would be good to go do, I've explore Mt. Prevost in Duncan on the logging roads and what not, but actually doing any real exploring alone is tough with no winch, since you're just ...stuck at that point lol. Also wondering if anyones up for some trail finding sometime, Or clean up runs, if you guys do those as well?

Thanks!
Hoping to get more involved in the group.

Welcome to the forum.
Lots of good people here.

Might be heading out this Sunday in shawnigan area. You're more than welcome to join the fun.
As long as you don't mind the tighter trails.

I dont mind more pin stripes! Anything but rust is good in my eyes. I have plans sunday, not sure if they will pan out or not due to weather ( river floating the cowichan ) . Id love to come if they dont work out though.
