Somewhat lost hiking once with a friend. Decided to go for a "quick hike" on a well established trail so didn't bother bringing a map and we started hiking AFTER supper around 18:30. We ended up loosing the trail in the snow and took a guess at the marked trail junction instead of turning...

Assuming you have chains available and strictly for off-pavement driving, when is it advised to air down vs chain up in winter? My understanding is that tires should be at full street pressure when running chains, so if you were aired down then decided to install chains you would have to air up...

It really depends what you picture when you talk about "off road" and "trails" and assuming you are being reasonable in those expectations I would say the biggest hurdle will be weather. My dad used to take his rwd van way down a dirt trail (double track) on a ranch for hunting. Never a...

Anywhere along the trunk road (highway 40) south or north of the city. I was out by Waiparous last week. Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk

2500 suburban and I aired down to about 30psi on 3 tires, 20psi on one (strictly a strategic decision, I swear!). I probably could have gone down to 20psi all around but one thing to remember is when you air down at a trailhead your tires are likely hot. We camped overnight and the tires were...

Thats funny Boort, My dad had a 97 E250 van that ran to 400,000km of only city driving with minimal maintanence. Finally decided it wasn't professional looking enough to fix whatever it was that went out. I'm not brand loyal. I love Toyota's and had a few but I have a hard time paying the...

Ya, it kind of does. I currently have an '04 2500 Suburban with the 6.0 and the vehicle I'm eyeing up is a second gen Nissan Xterra with a manual trans. But still, I'm trying to start a bigger conversation than just my particular situation. I know I've sold one of my trucks from paranoia...

Oops, this should be in general discussion probably. Can it be moved? Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk

No, I'm not talking about LED light bars, radio antennas, deep cycle batteries, project rigs or girlfriends... I'm talking about kilometers (miles, for those of you south of us Canadians). I've been spoiled to have had a few new vehicles over the last several years but I returned to life with...

Just spotted these today and thought they looked pretty good. I've never seen or heard of them so thought I'd share. Nokian Rockproof Sounds like a pretty stout tire and looks like a decent tread. Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk

Great option for US but unfortunately not Canada. Over $100 for shipping! Smittybilt from 4WP at $200 is the cheapest I've found here. Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk

Hey Leo Sorry about your accident, hope you make a good recovery. I hate to be the guy to say it but you might find an old 4runner will meet your vehicular needs adequately and free up some cash flow for your apartment. When I found myself in a tough spot I decided to sell my 10 month old...

I think the coins are a great idea to be given out to those who take the time and dedication to organize and get a group together for a clean up day. As far as cleaning up your camp site and along the trails you run, I agree with the notion that it is essentially our duty and I'd be...

Anyone tried the Smittybilt ones?

Hilux Surf was mine. Ran into this sweet fj45 out on the trails one day. May or may not have flopped my buddies 4runner on it's side trying to pull him out of a hole... Sorry bud!

Much of BC and SW Alberta (north of Glacier) are under fire ban and lots of fires in BC.

CB in the 'burb. Still wanting to install a 2m ham but haven't yet. Still unsure where's best to mount the mic.

We have a hard board. Really enjoy it, cool being up above the water. Have to figure out transport now with the new RTT up top... might end up with an inflatable. Anyone carry a hard board (SUP or surf) on top of a RTT?

I have a gmt800 suburban 2500 with 33s and stock suspension. *roughly* the same wheelbase and overall length as a tacoma double cab long box... I think a gmt900 'Burb would be a good option for you personally.

Some pics from our trip.
