Canuck120 and I are going out that way on Saturday. If you’re available then, join us?
We’re doing the loop through Lake Cowichan and over to Port Renfrew. Stopping at Big Lonely Doug and Avatar Grove. Then heading down to Jordan River to check out Secret Lake. We’ll do more exploring along the way too.
There will be quite a few highway miles, but we’ve got all day and plan to explore as much as we can.
Good idea. I’ve heard of lots of car guys renting PO Boxes just across the border, but that gets expensive if you live on the island (and covid means crossing the border is basically impossible). Getting it flown in would be awesome! If you try it, let us know how it works.
Hope you guys had a fun time! About an hour into the morning run with Justin I blew a tire on a sharp stump. Ripped the sidewall right open. Then once we winched up to flat ground and put my spare on, something in my rear axle was making noise, so I decided to call it a day and get it towed home. The more I think about it, the more I think that the noise was just caused by my spare being slightly smaller than the rest of my tires, so when my t-case was locked in 4wd it was binding the gears a bit. I should have tested it with the t-case unlocked to see what happened. Oh well, better safe than sorry!

Welcome, Bob!

Looks sweet! The 2 door XJ is an under appreciated model IMO.
