Some years ago, I went a bit oversized (285's as well...) on our 1998.5 Dodge Cummins; we took it into the dealer and they calibrated the...
This truck is just for personal use but I prefer it in most cases over our 2015 Ram dually.... Tires last much longer, proper jakes, mostly off...
VHF radio is still pretty common up here in BC (lots of loggers, heavy haulers, tankers, flatdecks)---- vans....not so much (probably most don't...
Excellent, post! I fully agree that most (especially 4 wheelers) have no idea how to (or would even care) to learn how to read the road...
Up here in BC also called “triples”…. A set of Trygg 8mm studded chains are pretty unstoppable on bush roads!
Wow! Just a hobby ‘trucker’ with a 51” IHI 9200 C12 sleeper… single axle. That is an amazing on road ‘home’ Congratulations!
Thanks for posting those pictures, looks great! Enjoy the new truck!
Yes I am curious as well, must be really nice living quarters!
Right, but… chains are also extremely useful in mud/off-road settings.. High quality steel is essential, standard issues for the tri-drive...
A set of 8mm Tryggs (triples). Essential piece of kit for any off-road use…. Keep in mind that loose “pea” gravel shown in your pictures requires...
I have a 13speed IHI 9200, still have some trouble downshifting (especially from 8th to 7th…) May be an issue with the tranny?? Really like the...
I live in BC and back in 2013 I was returning from Spokane back home with a used front idler/ track tensioner for our dozer. I was seriously...
We did a Unimog 20 years ago. Hired out sandblasting, then 2 part epoxy primer & Imron to finish. The sandblasting made for a really nice...
Thanks, really appreciate that info!
Would terrify me for sure! Impressive…
Left home (Okanagan) this morning at 6am. Bare/dry roads thru the Rockies (hwy 1). Has been a while since over the Roger’s pass…pretty tame...
I am just a ‘dirt digger’…small Ma & Pa mining operation that came late in life to driving class 8 trucks. Really appreciate all the info here!...
I am located in the B.C. interior and the vast majority of logging trucks are tridems with 18 speeds…. This seems a completely absurd regulation!
Slow & steady Jake application as you say. Spent 2 years working south of Elko ; hwy 50 definitely has some good grades! Thanks for good advice!
