    Found a Kijiji mechanic who knows what he is doing

    I have not had great experiences getting service work done at Calgary area dealerships. The old saying that your choices are cheap, good, or quick but you only get two. In my experience, I would be happy with two. I have used kijiji to find mechanics for my vehicles. I have a red seal...

    Tar Sands Messiah fundraiser

    This is a great idea. A filmmaker from Fort mac is going to make a film about pollution in Los Angelos. It is basically a shot at the hypocrisy of Hollywood stars flying to Fort Mac to protest the Oil Sands. He is raising money to fund the film. It will be funded within a few days as it is a...

    anyone going from Calgary to Prince George?

    My parents live there and are too frugal to buy a newer tv. I would like to buy one locally but the shipping would be too much. If anyone is travelling to PG in the next couple of months, I would be grateful. I am thinking of a 48" or so tv so it would take up a lot of space. My parents are...

    Real Life Review - RevArc Ramp

    Here is a real life review of something that I thought was a very good idea a few years - a safe loading ramp. The primary reason for wanting something like this is because of recurring back problems that I suffer from. I have twisted my back quite a few times while loading and unloading. If...

    2010 M8 high temp reading

    I was at Castle last weekend and the temp kept rising. The rear cooler was not hot and coolant level was normal. The engine definately was not overheating yet the reading kept climbing all day. ( 212F on the way back to the trailer) Turning the sled off for 10 minutes did not change anything...

    maps showing out of bound areas at Cat Creek / Fording Pass

    there was a discussion in the other thread about people riding out of bounds at Cataract Creek. This happens when they ride the Fording Pass into BC. I called the out of bounds guys ayeholes because I thought they were regulars and were knowingly riding out of bounds. It turns out that they may...

    finally - an affordable competant mechanic near Calgary

    came across an ad in Kijiji for a mechanic offering his services for $30 per hour. I was frustrated enough to give him a shot. I have a Union Bay 730 install and a top end for a rev and neither were going well. I called the number and Cody said he could get me in next day. I bought them out and...

    question about doing the top end in a rev

    the exhaust manifold was a beast to remove. There are 4 bolts that were difficult to access. Can I loosely install the manifold prior to re-installing? It would cut the job in half. I normally would do 1 cylinder at a time, then install the exhaust manifold. Then I thought of engines with...

    Sled Wrap Project

    Here is my first effort, probably my last as well. I need a Robaxacet after hunching over the sled for 3 hours. If you are going to do this job, set aside lots of time and patience. Took me almost an hour to get the sled ready. Polaris may have longevity issues with their motors but they make...

    good idea for long weekend

    I love the Spokane area, very beautiful. We are headed there this long weekend and want to pass on a tip. The Davenport Hotel is one of the nicest hotels in Western Canada / USA. It is close to 100 years old and underwent a full restoration 10 years ago. They have a deal called the Romance...

    96 Carbed 580 won't idle

    I recently purchased a 96 carbed 580 Powder Special. I couldn't get it to idle right. If I give it some choke, it will run for a bit then start to gag and then quits.I put new plugs in. I pulled the carbs and gave them a complete cleaning. Now, it runs but it still won't idle. I sprayed ether...

    pics of my flat bed for sledders

    My primary use of the truck is not for sledding but I have been contemplating this idea for a few years. I like the functionality of a deck but don't like the risks associated with loading onto the 5' height deck. I also don't like having to instal and remove the deck every time I need to change...

    cataract creek jan 28

    One of the best days ever sledding there. We pushed a foot of snow on the highway to get there. 12-18" fresh on the trails. Snow everywhere. Realy sucks that the Gov't isn't grooming therre any more but the bumps only lasted for the first few kilometers. btw - i left my rear...

    avalanche conditions are High everywhere. Could be extreme in some areas if snowfall greater than expected. This is a good weekend for some trail riding. At the very least, let common sense be your guide.

    simple solution for steep loading ramps

    climbing up a ramp isn't hard once your track hooks up on the ramp. You can actually stop or idle up the ramp once you have engaged it. The problem is that you need to carry enough speed in order to get the track to the ramp. If you go to slow, you end up with only the very back of the track on...
