More hunting trips, first time mentioning this but this chick is 8 months pregnant now - were having a boy. Killing some time in the aft with some brookies, Fall sunsets hit different I miss the fall colours back east but we still get a bit of it here with aspens starting to change...

Thanks for all the good words guy. Definitely a weird week or so but all good for us now, some others, not so much. Some more photos of the recently opened areas, Back to the regular content, hunting season started up about a month ago. These trucks are becoming a lot more rare at...

When I saw the external mount I was worried they may have issues with the elements. Think you could just seal them up a bit better than out of the box? Maybe an o -ring on the rod? It's been a very weird week over here. The house survived, but definitely had a few scary nights where we didn't...

Wow, awesome trip. Heading up North has been on our bucket list for ten years now. I'm really hoping next year is the year. Next time I'm in your area I'll be sure to ring the bell!

Night 5, we ended up on the water solo again. A real nice creek directly next to us for some white noise, I'm a sucker for white noise when camping. This is about as good as it gets for us. Feast of fish, cold beer and a sunset over the glaciers. Day 6, heading back to town for some...

Setting up camp at the 3rd spot of the trip. Again totally solo right on the water. Hooked up to a couple of nice Bull trout, note the proximity to camp! Paddling up to the headwaters Walked the canoe for about a km. This section was straight silt and really quite smooth on bare feet...

Definitely is what it is haha. I still have the hybrid 3500 motor sitting on a stand as a back-up. I keep telling myself I'm not going to fix "x" because I'm going to swap the motor soon. Maybe another broken manifold will be the push across the finish line to swap that engine in... I usually...

^^ love the canoe, so simple and durable. All you need is a couple of paddles and you're on the water, albeit on the water in many places boats can't usually access. ^ Thanks Paul, yeah it's becoming a bit of a tome. Friggin love your build by the way. The area you're in and the trips you go on...

Drove up to the last operational part of the mine, The guys running these places were not idiots, not by a long shot. The system in place with these rail cars and dumping off the side of the hill was genius. It started to rain pretty well so we took off for camp. This is the last part of...

Next stop was the old Sandon silver mine, now dubbed a ghost town. Surprisingly quite busy with folks though... I really enjoyed seeing the old iron, whether it was relevant to the mine or not. These units sure make the Freightliners I used to run look like Cadillacs. the wife was pretty...

The paddle back towards the truck, and a few pictographs along the way were pretty neat to see. These trees growing off this sheer rock face was really neat. They took hold in moss and somehow found a way to stick. Camp #2, caught a nice rainbow right off the shore. Checked out the old hwy...

finally got my pinion shims welded into place, this is essentially a small lift block with a 2* angle. Just in time for a trip to the Slocan lake area, We stayed at upper little Slocan the first night. This was definitely the most populated snake habitat I've seen in BC. Exploring the lake...

Finally getting around to repairing the damaged rear e-brake shoe. Replaced the spring clips with some OE versions this go around. OE on the right. Easy to see how much more range the spring has in a static position. The aftermarket clip literally fell off and chewed up the shoe... Replaced...

^^ thanks guys, YetiX, thanks... that's all I see now LOL. I have to pull them back off to add some stainless fasteners now that I have a proof of concept. At that time I'll definitely be orienting them correctly. Quick project for a buddy, new perches on this 14 bolt. Don't ask why he's...

^ So awesome, I love those little side slider windows on the tilt-up walls - we were just saying how nice some air flow up front would be. I totally spotted this in the wild - somewhat - New Denver or Silverton - I can't quite remember which town. We were passing through yesterday and I was...

Quick little fab project for a buddy's boat. Another small project. These were the OE wheel caps from '86 on this truck. I've held onto them forever and finally found a good use for them These were originally intended to clip onto 5x4.75 bolt pattern lugs After some "machining" with...

Holy smokes this has come a long way! That lift system looks awesome. I'm torn on the canvas colour, the red looks good but might get a bit hot?

Just over a year ago Buddy put 37's on his truck now (35's in previous photo) but I'm slowly catching up. For perspective, his camper weighs as much as my truck...

Pulled the exhaust to get the y-pipe fully welded out. It isn't the prettiest thing, but it should do just fine. Stoked to have 4wd again. This thing absolutely crawls in 4 low. Can't wait to see what it can do with both axles locked & tires aired down. Happy to say the front shaft doesn't...

^ Thanks, really appreciate that. A maxima wagon sounds like a pretty awesome project. You are 100% correct, sitting projects take so much longer in counted hours vs just getting it done. I find myself going back to things sometimes trying to remember where I left off... So nice to have some...
