    MPT-81 tire siping

    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.

    1999 F450 4x4 Ambulance Toy Hauler

    My issue is I'm in Canada and MRAP wheels here are $550 each. Getting things shipped here from the US is crazy expensive.

    1999 F450 4x4 Ambulance Toy Hauler

    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...

    International 3800 adventure bus build

    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!

    Runva Winches, Any good?

    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...

    Runva Winches, Any good?

    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.

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    That's what worries me about Singles. When I get my front fender cut out flares in I'm going to see If I can trial fit some singles at Western Canadian Rockwell. If everything seems to fit well I may order some First attack. I have a neighbor that does long haul down to the states and he can...

    My 550 build The "Ford Escape"

    Just with firewood for the trip there. Very smokey from Down south so tough to spot sheep. No meat this trip so good excuse to go again! No issues with the spray foam at all. Java did his 450 ski machine with foam too but had his professionally installed. It was quite expensive to have done...

    My 550 build The "Ford Escape"

    Always just my wife and I. I have spent the last 33 years working alone in Northern Alberta and in the Alberta Mountains. Long before the days of cell phones etc and in weather up to -45. I have quite the skill set and good boots. If it's real bad we aren't going there. Also will be carrying 2...
