As an apprentice my bosses mother in laws car burnt to the ground a week after I did an oil change (you can just imagine how bad I got grilled the next day)... Turns out when the plug end broke off the block heater cord, her husband put on a new plug end rather then replace the whole cord. The...

Should be able to get something out of the paint. My first vehicle got wrote off a month after a new paint job and they offered me cost of the paint job for the whole car. I was able to negotiate an extra 1250 out of them which was half of the paint job (which ironically enough they had paid...

I dropped out of electrical engineering before moving west and had big dreams of the sweet job, family all told me I was nuts and to get back in school... I hauled wheel barrels of dirt for $7 an hour that summer so I could move. And now 7 years later have a WAY better career then most of the...

Agreed steer clear of rentals... Just an example: I work with a guy who drove one off a cliff and broke his back. The sled got pretty trashed. You can be almost certain it got repaired.

Ahh I love snow and mud LOL

Looks like I might be due to visit the folks!

I'd of thought this post would have had a little more action. Either snow and mudders are pretty cautious riders or the bags don't work as well as advertised!

I'd pay more for a quality Canadian made suit, I'm looking forward to seeing them at the show...

I just raised this issue to my car salesmen buddy, I got the classic of course a half ton will handle it! I then went on, really what are you saying is payload? he says 1500 lbs... Add 2 riders, 2 sleds, weight of deck then I ask him where do I put my Jerry cans?? Classic, he on the spot went oh...

I know a guy who did similar and got busted with his out of province plates visiting his family over Christmas, they flat out cut up his card on the side of the road. When I came to Alberta 8 years ago, I had two Accidents follow as minor tickets without demerits and my 6+ fines went missing...

Just a side note, it's a good idea to ask about the fine print... I have a real problem getting a jetski policy (they don't like insuring stand ups) and they've got a clause for everything. Example, machine is insured for theft if chained to a tree or in garage... BUT if sitting on a trailer...

Jasper just got a dusting last night!

I used manitoulin transport to ship a tool chest. They charge by square footage and item needs to be crated, cost me $300 to ship from Ontario to Alberta... I'd use them again, they dropped it off right at my work since we had a loading dock

Considering the game starts off in snowy weather, I'm guessing there must be a snowmobile somewhere?? There better be! I've been looking all over.

Not sure if this is the best forum, but does anyone have a go pro they're not using and looking to sell? Not sure which model I want/need but $450 for the new black seems a little steep.

Good way to lose an eye. I had a near miss where I didn't take off enough pressure off the spring and the top cap shot through the ceiling of my dads shop when I took the nut off the strut. I second it's very easy to make a very basic one using square stock, threaded rod and small u bolts...

So on a hunch I decided to try a hotter spark plug and voila, problems solved this thing rips!! Now I kinda don't wanna sell it, time for an intake grate and ride plate upgrades for next year!

My jaws pipes do the same and don't have a gasket, I'm guessing clean em up and sillicone? I just wanna make sure it's not a power valve

I used to work at EEC motors, they've got a Ford diesel specialist it's almost all he does all day... They're way cheaper then a stealership, I think currently at $100 an hour but could have gone up its been a year since I went in for my alignment, heck I'd take it there for the diagnosis even...

A mild tune is ok I won't disagree there, however I feel as though once a guy has put a tuner to his truck there's no telling what sort of maps he's run on it. I know a guy who killed the 3rd gear in his Allison in all of 2 weeks because 200hp more was "fun"... He didn't find it so fun working...
