If we do a family trip, we usually take our Shar-Pei. I pretty much never take her if I go solo. We're the third owners, and she came with some baggage from the breeder and the previous owners. Long story short, her breeder was a bit of a dummy and sold her to an old lady who couldn't handle...

Absolutely sick build. I just bought a 2006 Dakota, so I'm looking around to see who else is running them. Cheers!

I've often looked at those and thought they'd be pretty decent little adventure vehicles. Looks like you put it to good use! Welcome aboard, and thanks for the kind words. I'm already scheming about mods to the Dakota, much to my wife's dismay lol.

Reminds me of many a track I've driven in BC!

Put some new shoes on.

Jasper is spectacular. The town is really cute, as well, although I'm sure everything is uber expensive being that it's a tourist hub. I'm BC born and raised, only just moved here, so I know more about BC than here, but I'll get out exploring once things settle down at home a bit.

Hey, welcome! You live in a fantastic spot. I assume, being local, you already know/have done the track to Indian Arm? If on the off chance you haven't, it makes a fantastic day trip. If you happen to find yourself closer to Edmonton at some point in your long trip this summer, drop a line and...

Looks like an awesome trip! Thanks for sharing!

We just moved to a 5 acre property in the country, and I have six kids, including an 8 week old, so I have mountains more projects and jobs to do than I have time to do them, but as a suggestion, what about some home reno projects? Almost every home has things that could be improved, fixed...

Hey, just moved near Edmonton from BC. Cheers!

Outstanding! I just moved to an acreage about a half hour east of Edmonton, so this spot is definitely going to be one of the first I hit up. Thanks for sharing!

I would definitely be interested, if my family life lets me get away for it lol

Well, it finally happened that I had to bid goodbye to my much beloved CR-V (details in the built thread "1999 Honda CR-V 'Ganbaru'"). It doesn't matter what you drive, though, and adventure is necessary, so here's the new ride: 2006 Dodge Dakota 4wd. 4.7L V8 engine, IFS with a solid rear axle...

Thanks :) My mind is already spinning with various ideas on how to build it out, but after the expense of getting things going here on the homestead, my bank account says I'm going to be waiting for everything except new tires lol.

It is with great sadness that I must report the loss of a great machine, and a much beloved adventure rig. Recently I moved my family from BC to Alberta, about 30 minutes east of Edmonton. On moving day, while cruising along the freeway about half an hour from Vanderhoof, BC, the engine...

Yeah, it definitely depends how much carnage happens when it lets go. I have actually seen guys smush the ball joint back into the socket and ratchet strap the upper and lower control arms together. If I recall correctly, they also took the CV axle and lashed it to the control arm and let the...

Ratchet strap them control arms together and give er! :D In all seriousness though, yeah, broken ball joints are very bad scoobies.

Good stuff! I'm moving to a place near Edmonton in the next two days, so I'm very keen to find places to explore when I get there!

1999 Honda CR-V "Ganbaru"

I'm moving to Alberta on June 1st, near Edmonton. Hoping to get some insights from locals about where to go, as I gather it's a bit of a difference scenario than BC where 95% of the province is rugged mountain wilderness. Cheers!
