So you stuck with duals in the back? Do you have a picture of the rear?

Haven't posted in quite a while as I'm done the major work. Just been fussing with a few details. I still am building my rear motorcycle carrier. I put a heavy duty commercial rear frame mounted hitch on so I will have my carrier for My KLR 650, and still be able to pull a trailer with my side...

Very nice. We needed to burn up some of last years holiday time we were holding on to. We took two weeks and went up to the Swan Hills with bear hunting being the excuse to camp in our rig for 2 weeks. Similar weather rain/sun/snow all the same day. but as you say no crowds! We're headed out...

The issue with the 550's is the 19.5" stock wheels. Difficult to get much else. I currently use 245 70 19.5's on my 550. They are 33" tall. I don't think I could get a 265 on without a spacer between the wheels or the tire side walls would touch.

Went and looked at my truck. Yes, The control box is relocatable.

I will have a look at the one on my truck to double check. I could be wrong. Was just going from memory. Truck is in a storage yard but will go have a look. When I looked at that review from the link you shared, the Costco winch sure looks the same as the red one in the review.

No it doesn't. It's fixed to the winch body.

I'm running duals on my F550 build (245 70X 19.5"). I went back and forth about going to super singles but in the end it was the cost I just couldn't do. I live in the Mountains in Alberta and we run a lot of F550's and Dodge 5500's in the oilfield all through Alberta. I'm betting we're likely...

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...

Sure does look similar. Looks like the same box we started with!

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...

We built our truck on a long WB 550 4X4. It had a uhaul box on it. The box is 13' including the cab over. This is a 2001 with a 7.3 diesel.

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.

Are you in Canada or did you just buy it in Edm?

Weather is nice, only -9 overnight so headed to the mountains this weekend ice climbing.

Weather is great right now, only -9 overnight. We're headed that way this weekend with our truck.

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.
