    Kids dirt bike. Next size up

    KTM just has lots of good performance parts on it right from stock. If they are riding on the track the KTM will be better, other than that I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Kawi... I did the XR70-CR85 jump when I was younger though. Was a big jump, but taught me respect for a bike in a hurry. Also...

    Chainsaw Recomendations

    Going to throw a wrench into the mix. With what 95% of us cut for firewood, save yourself from ever having to replace it and buy yourself a Stihl MS 241CM. Bought the saw 2 years ago for limbing, and have never used my larger bucking saw (270) since. Small light little unit, revs to the moon...

    Can someone school me on inverters and mini fridges?

    Firstdoo is right on lots of that. Just keep in mind that even with 2 6V batteries it wont last that long... My 2 Trojan T105's only have 205aH.... Meaning you could only run like 5 hours off of batteries before you start harming the longevity of those batteries if you do it all the time. If you...

    Can someone school me on inverters and mini fridges?

    That Costco one looks good. Id have faith in it, it still runs a compressor so it will get colder than the Peltier style ones. I've had fairly good luck with both, but I would go for either of those options over a 110V system.

    Can someone school me on inverters and mini fridges?

    The biggest thing that you have to remember is whenever you are running any 110V systems off of batteries (through the use of an inverter) it is critical that you look at the power consumption that will be used. Lots of people dont think about this when using inverters, but to even think of...

    Electrical smart guys

    The best way to do it is to run a completely separate switch for the LED bar like you did, then to use a diode to connect between the high side of the Hi beam and the relay to the LED bar. That way to can still use the LED bar separate from everything if needed... Or if the switch is in the on...

    The New Nissan Titan Diesel

    The diesel Titan is rated for 12k lbs... That being said after demoing it for a night I think thats a bit on the light side... It drove like my 2500. But... The issue with it, is how little the payload actually is... In a crew cab configuration with some gadgets it leaves you with less then...

    Duramax tires

    Run a 285/55/20 on my 15, Toyo AT2 Extreme's. Been really happy with them. I need the truck to fit into parkades, so no bigger tires/lifts for me.

    Camping crap !

    Love my parachute. Amazing how much heat it forces downward. Cold days and it seems like everyone is wanting to come to our campsite. My addition... Round chair without holes for arms.... So much better then the alternative, back stays warmer and so much more comfortable. Space for the pup...

    Any one else hear about this new anti diesel tree hugger bill?

    Yep, a few bad apples really pushed this upon everyone.... Want to get rid of the DEF system? Go for it, just leave the stock tip, and a muffler on. And don't be like my neighbour, (high) idling a straight piped diesel for 25 minutes every morning at 6:15, then go pinning it rolling smoke out of...

    Re: Salesmen.... how do some of them keep their jobs? Only one I have seen anything from was Rocky Mountain Honda. They had petitions at the store and were helping out the RMDRA.

    Salesmen.... how do som of th m keep their jobs?

    Re: Salesmen.... how do some of them keep their jobs? Price is just a small part of the buying process for most clients. Many of my established customers will go "out to bid/price shopping", to ensure that we are in the range that the rest of the market is. But in all honestly very few times I...

    Salesmen.... how do som of th m keep their jobs?

    Re: Salesmen.... how do some of them keep their jobs? Believe it or not only a very small percentage of people can actually make a living doing sales. Coming from someone who does professional sales for equipment to the Oil and Gas industry, I have seen tons of people come and go. They just...

    Anyone use False Creek Health Center Vancouver Knee Surgery?

    Honestly, your best bet (coming from someone who tore his ACL, Half my MCL, and had a major Meniscus repair) is to drive out to Banff and sit in the emergency. After a full year of waiting for MRI's, seeing "specialists" in Calgary, I finally got sent out there. Met with Dr. Heard, and without...

    Contemplating getting a trailer

    Typically the false readings are just buildup on the sensors. If you can drive around with 2/3 of a tank in the black water and dumping it seems to work best. Another good tip when random camping if you have leftover fresh water at the end of the weekend to hold the toilet open for a few minutes...
