We were out the same time North of Nordegg. We have a propane furnace and a Cubic mini wood stove in our rig. Our Webasto is set up just to heat the engine for starting. Solar wasn't keeping up as we were completely off grid, but I have a 1000 watt generator that I plug in to the sore power and...
I bought my springs from City Spring in Edmonton Alberta Canada. I Don't have the part number for the rear springs but they were listed as Heavy Duty replacements listed at a rating of 8000 lbs per side. THe front are heavy duty F350, 4400 lbs rating, part number 4312603-HD.
I just have the...
Are you guys in Alberta as well? We're in Rocky Mountain House. Weather is to be -35 tonight but starting to warm up to -26 overnight Sunday so we're headed out for 2 days as it's a long weekend for us. Going to cut firewood. The last 2 weeks of -35+ have eaten through the wood supply pretty hard!
I have been in the same dilemma. I needed to get using the truck and the stock tires were wore right out. I bought a set of Irnonhead 245 70 19.5's. So far we are really liking them. They gave us 1 1/2" of lift and have the 4 season peak rating, also they were only $217 Cdn. each! They use them...
Made it out this last weekend again. Very little snow but got down to -26C. Pretty warm with the little stove. Did a little hiking then had to go on a search for a missing hiker. Wind dropped and the big lake froze over during the cold night. The Webasto pre-heater works great. The truck is a...
Ah Just wondered, Im just down the road from Edmonton. Lots of snow and cold here right now! With the 30% exchange rate buying in Canada is a good deal for US folks.
We have some limited groomed trails here in Rocky, but I was thinking more on the line of Light touring, not full on AT. There are some nice areas by Nordegg where you could stage from with your truck.
I'm interested to know how it turns out and how much of a difference you see. I live in Alberta and we have tons of ice and snow. I want to go to Super singles but we use our truck a lot in the winter and am concerned about performance on icy highways and roads.
I plan on possibly going the same route with tires. I have a 2001 F550. I live just down the road from WCR so adapters are easy. Are you in Canada? Our price on MRAP wheels with the adapters makes it almost the same as made to fit super singles from First Attack. Did you just have to do the cut...
Just thought I'd post this for anyone in Canada that is looking for a 4WD ambulance to start a build. With the oilfield tanking here a lot of the onsite medical/safety companies have folded. There are three Ford F350 Ambulances for sale at the next online auction which is next week, Oct. 28. For...
We had temporary table dinette etc, and it actually really paid off as we completely changed what we wanted/needed based on our trials with folding chairs/temporary table etc. We actually got one season of use with the temporary before getting to the final permanent stuff. It was worth it!
I don't use it often so can't say how it would hold up to everyday hard use. That being said I have had Warn winches mounted on my work trucks in Northern Alberta for over 30 years. I'm assuming 30 years ago those were all American made winches. I don't notice any issues now with those Chinese...
I did buy one as you say a smoking deal for Canadian Buyers. Have had great success. Even the snatch block that came with it is awesome. Here's my pics of my bumper build with it.
