  1. the 215/65r16 is only 1.1% differance in diameter to the 18 inch size the 16 inch rim will work no problem unless the vehicle is equipped with the srt package,
  2. i get the colarado/canyons in my bays ok trucks get mixed reviews if you do buy one brakes can be expensive with the captive rotors and i find them cramped inside but they are overall a better truck in comfort ride and issues over the s10 they replace, Will this truck only see weekend boat towing duty or are you commuting with it as well? generally the z-71 trucks get worse gas mileage then regular 4x4 as they are equipped with lower gears,overall there is a lot of choice in this segment the toyota is a good choice but it is pricy and no better on fuel than anything else, most of my customers like the ford escapes, flexes ect, new truck for me is gonna be another gmc extended cab with the 5.3 v8 it has the cylinder cut technology and i spend most of my time on hwy's anyway get's very good mileage when not towing, when towing they all stink
  3. those screen shots are with the addition of the lss-1 structure scan module, that would be the down scan feature and yes you can pretty much tell what your looking at with it, i have the hds-8 and ss on my ranger
  4. thanks guys lookin foward to trying this
  5. been looking at my 4 year old turkey fryer that i have never used and decided this thankgiving is the test, any tips, advice, directions? how about a lonely chef that wants to cook and i supply the beer
  6. most 4 strokes should have the plugs removed and a small squirt of oil for long term storage, i 've never done it myself but that is out of both my owner's manual for a yamaha and a mercury. i always run my carbs dry you can put all the stabilzer you want in ethanol is still a solvent and can corrode lines and carbs
  7. 1775 lund will handle it no problem, but like others said nasty cold front conditions and not a comfortable day to be out, fishing will most likely be slow, rescedule if you can, if not stick in pigeon river there out to be a bit of everything in there
  8. lake trout, sm bass and lm bass, rock structure everywhere in the lakes, my best luck is in the north end of missisauga for smallies and in the narrows between beaver gold and catchacoma for largies, not many fish hanging off the many stumps but have caught a few in weeds and such
  9. older dakotas were decent but gas guzzlers just remember near 20 years old bound to be issues, the 318 were prone to crank/thrust bearing issues , timing chains and oil leaks, the 4wd is if i remember correctly vacuum operated and the actuator were prone to failure, early o/d trannys had there fair share of issues but if there still on the road chances are these problems have been addressed, but if the price is right there are capable little trucks for off road fishing adventures and boat towing
  10. feel your pain cliff, this outta cheer you up though. http://youtu.be/itoEIFm4y5A
  11. did you have the off-raod package jimmy that came with 31x10.5r15 oem? if not the 265 will be a little tall for your truck, as the either came with 235/70 or 235/75r15 tires dean arn't a bad tire built to a price point, in AT configuration may be a little noisy. but not to bad a price Michelin ltx ms/2 super smooth riding tire good in the rain and handling department not any good in off road situations, warranty is 115k ltx at2 good tire all around has decent on and off road manners goodyear wrangler silent armour very good AT tire quiet quiet smooth kevlar reinforced light tire don't lose as much fuel economy with these tires as you would a bfg AT ta, number 1 tire in the mining industry for resisting rock punches 80k warranty have seen them with 180 though still lots of life. Bfg AT ta, very good aggressive all terrain tire also built very heavy puncture resistent but gas milage will suffer as much as 10% in some application i.e deisel suburban we had went from 850 tank to 680km a tank but it nevr got stuck, bfg is a michelin product anything you need to know fire a pm
  12. not worth the effort max 6ft depth zero structure all mud almost no weed, stick to fishin sturgeon lake
  13. from my understanding of e-laws unless it's a spill of a 100 litre's or more it doesn't need to be reported, still they should have watched what they were doing even if it was a volunteer group out to help the community
  14. funny you say cause i am the reverse, have two 1o at least year old chronarchs that work as good as the day i got them, and they look and work better than a 2 year old quantum that i only use for bottom bouncing, older sienna s never missed a beat, and got a whole crop of newer cores, stella and stradics that have been great, my only shimano complaint is my curado e7 seems to be feeling a little loose after 2 seasons of slop fishing. out of 4 quantums i have the only one to never give me an issue is a old energy-7 reel that i still use have a abu revo that reel is very good, i find it a very fast reel and built like a tank just a bit heavy i guess all makers have some lemons in the pile i drive a gmc
  15. intresting for sure, but already have had enough quantum products that i wanted to run over with a pick up truck
  16. Lew, goodyear annouced a few months ago that production of the marathon tire was to be brought back to north america do to quality control issues, but so far i havn't encountered any problems with them that weren't related to customer maintenance
  17. usually they charge about an hour a carb, carbs a pretty straight forward, but if you have no expierence at it buy the manual or just take it in
  18. thanks for the offer, you can also post in the member's directory your skills and contact info for any OFC's looking to get some work done
  19. yout 66 rude was never put together with ethanol fuels in mind, check your carb and your fuel lines/ tank for sediment/ contamination from fuel system components breaking down. also make sure all covers and deflectors are ok it is possible your flooding it out with water, without being there it's tough to say, goodluck and let us know what you find out
  20. overall there much better than they were just 5 years ago, if you like it go for it, it's covered under warranty if any glitches show up in the next 5 years
  21. easier for me to remember 50:1 is 2% lubricant 4.7ltrs 4700ml x .02= 94ml
  22. the direct injection systems used on the newer two strokes can be quite complicated, while the problem may be a simple as carbon build, i would suggest you get it to a brp dealer for a check up, unless you have access to the scan tool and software the couple ghrs labour and price of parts will be cheaper than a new power head
  23. many trips there waynes advice is the best advice
  24. imagine if they had that dedication in the kawartha's or the tribs along lake o
  25. at least poachers are being caught, better than not even if the punishment seeems light
