I wouldn't worry too much about it for local driving, but personally I wouldn't want to drive on any long haul hwy drives. My axles were vibrating pretty badly at speed to the point that it felt disconcerting, but now everything seems fine. It seems unlikely that a catastrophic failure would...

Very true. There's not too much else I need to do to the rig in terms of mods now. I'm thinking I will probably rebuild my awning with a bigger tarp, and there may be a few other minor changes as well. Probably install a UHF resource road radio sometime soon.

Thanks! Even with the drifter stitches, I'm much happier with how this looks than the hack job I did initially.

Fantastic! What a shot. I have to agree with you about going remote in the bush - I love getting way out where people never go. It's an awesome feeling, and it definitely adds to the excitement of the trip, especially when you know the bears are all around you lol

Well, got everything wired up, the synthetic rope tensioned on the spool, and the bumper (re)finished. Rockauto wanted to charge me $750 for shipping a $58 bumper skin, Lordco wanted $450 for one, and the two local wreckers wanted $100 and $200 respectively, so I decided that drifter's stitches...

Here's what tends to happen in these situations. A small number of total sh** heads who have no consideration for anyone but themselves come into an outdoor area and cause major damage/leave trash everywhere/crap on the ground and don't bury it/vandalize things etc. Law enforcement officials...

Definitely. I'm a huge supporter and will continue to be a paid member of 4wdABC because as an organization, we walk the walk on these issues. Members have done huge cleanup operations to the point of hauling burnt out hulks of vehicles and trailers out of the bush along with tons of trash. I...

I would agree with you that government deserves to be slammed much harder. There are a few coppers/rangers/etc. who deserve a swift kick up the ass though. This is coming from a 14 year LE veteran, btw.

You seem to have missed where I mentioned "government" officials. Speaking from where I live, lazy and incompetent law enforcement is sometimes part of the problem, for sure, but they are limited in what they can do; politicians are the bigger part of the problem because they aren't allocating...

The answer is to punish the crime and leave everyone else alone. A problem that goes hand in hand with these idiots you're talking about is lazy, apathetic, incompetent enforcement and government officials who find it easier to punish the innocent by shutting things down rather than actually...

I bet they would take you if you asked nicely. Maybe call the operator and ask if they would be willing. Offer to sign a waiver if they're worried about liability.

That's a very nice feature, and probably one that doesn't get recognized by most users. I live in Northern BC, so in the summer it stays light till almost 11pm and the sun comes up at 4:50am. I'm not so keen on waking up at that time lol. The cot tent I use for overlanding is better at blocking...

I have a "MyPillow" I use every night, and that's what I always take. Best pillow I've ever owned. I agree with the many here who say a good pillow is critical to a good night's sleep. Slightly off topic, but another item I always take when camping is a padded sleep mask with a fuzzy inner...

I found this thread. Is this maybe the one you're referring to? Granisle Ferry | West Coast Ferries Forum

It also looks to me like if you generally follow the shore of Babine lake to Fort Babine, you can go a long way through the back country and link back up with the highway at the Bulkley river bridge, Suskwa FSR. Also, that road system seems to keep going beyond Suskwa FSR to the NW, although...

Any land that doesn't show on the parcel map is crown land and therefore public. Crown land is the default for everything unless it's specified as something else.

I'm taking a look at your route right now, and darned if you aren't coming right through my part of the world! I live just before Smithers in a place called Telkwa. Just yesterday, the fam and I found an absolute GEM of a rec site on a little lake off the 37 highway. I also know a pretty decent...

Welcome aboard! Very slick setup there, I like it.

Did the first trial fit today, and I was absolutely stoked to find out that the vehicle has a 1/2 hole from the factory that sits in just about the perfect spot, AND which perfectly lines up with the big fat bolt at the top of the factory tow plates: Amazingly, the bolt holes for the four...

Cool! I will try to load it up a bit later. Just working on the first test fit of my winch atm and the blazing heat is requiring me to take breaks lol
