Just the angle methinks. Does real well in the deep though. The 5" wide ski skins were the best extra to ever put on that sled. Only been good and stuck once... ever! Chris will remember. lol

 

That kind of stuff doesn't slow my sled down at all Drew. As long as my right thumb still works.

First time I got into deep slush with my Venture I couldn't figure out why it was feeling weird until I looked behind me to see a river of slush 2 feet deep!!!

Pinned the throttle and.........................SEE YA!!!!

Can't really say anything without pics of the tires so we can see what type of wear issues you are having Matt.

A short tracked tundra would have been a citation in those years, I believe

Yup. I got one last year that I'm going to restore.

But until then I'll just have to settle for my little Yammie.

I'm going to ice fish in The North West Territories this year.

I have carpet and it's OK but is a dog hair magnet.

I have the feeling fish slime and snow would make vinyl pretty slippery.

I think the next time I redo my boat I'll use checker plate aluminum.

It would be very easy on my boat as all the flooring is carpet covered 1/8" aluminium sheet.

I would just need to trace out the pieces and cut them and re-install.

A lot of West coast boats are all checker plate aluminium decking.

Here's a great image for the area.

Love that people have a sense of humor still.

I found this video yesterday that was linked from an article about this fish.

Got a good laugh out of it.       

If you start the pushing and shoving, shouldn't you also be expecting a punch in the mouth? lol!

DUH!!!!!

He saw the article about the emergency landing of a Cessna Caravan on Great Slave lake and thought the ice must be safe everywhere.

Just another confirmation that I was right to get the heck out of that province.

Enjoy your new everything tax Ontario.

Let's hope Polak is ok, that didn't look good.

He's having an MRI tomorrow and Carlisle says he will be out for a while.

Update on Monday.

I replaced the front unit bearings on my Honda Pilot last winter.

Man what an awful job that was.

The bearing is pressed into the steering knuckle and then the hub is pressed into the bearing.

Had a local shop press the bearings and they even had a heck of a time with it.

GM's are way easier.

Did the ball joints @ the same time so I wouldn't have to pull things apart again.

Man this crowd blows tonight.

There is zero energy in the building.

A Cessna Caravan made an emergency landing on Great Slave Lake yesterday.

I can take the sled out now seems like there is good ice.

BRRRRRR!!!!!

She's frosty here now.

Just yesterday it was a balmy -11.

In my opinion I would start with the wiring and then have the starter checked.

It could be weak and in the winter it may need more power in order to get it to work.

I know with my vehicle and every vehicle I have owned that the car turns over much slower in the winter as the battery can not produce as much energy.

Living in the far North I have a block heater and a battery blanket.

The battery blanket warms the battery warm when plugged in.

My vehicle starts like it's 70* out when it is plugged in even @ -40.

A plane made an emergency landing on one of the lakes around here today.

I guess if there's enough ice to support a Cessna Caravan I can take my sled out.

Plane makes emergency landing on frozen lake in Yellowknife

Digital Reporter

Thursday, November 20, 2014, 7:29 PM - A military spokesman said an Air Tindi Cessna 208 Caravan declared an emergency when its engine failed shortly after leaving Yellowknife Thursday, forcing the small plane to land on an isolated frozen lake.

A military aircraft with search-and-rescue officials was sent to the area from Winnipeg. Seven people were onboard and were stranded for hours in frigid weather before rescue crews could reach them.

The pilot of the plane contacted airline operations at 7:21 a.m. to indicate the craft had landed "under very difficult weather conditions", Air Tindi says in a statement.

The forecast was reporting temperatures around -11C with freezing rain at the time.

Additional airplanes were deployed to assist rescue efforts, but were held back by the weather.

No injuries were reported.

WOOHOO!!!!!

Plan the parade the Leafs are back!!!!!

This happens with a lot of boats.

You most likely have have a tank that runs front to back and not side to side.

Because of this when running the fuel runs to the rear of the tank and shows full but at trolling speed or stopped it shows the correct level.

It is pretty normal as it seems most manufacturers run their tanks lengthwise.

Not going to give them the satisfaction of a page hit.

There are a lot of morons that think wolves and coyotes should be eradicated.

I'm not one of them.

Tent shredding bears, well that's another story!!!
