  1. Nice ride and thanks for sharing the awesome pics!
  2. I hate to put these big ugly stickers on the hood of a new $14K machine but its better than the TWO bigger uglier NY registration stickers that go on the hoods! The tunnels get covered in snow more frequently than not and your leg or gear could block the view of the pass. I would think the windshield would be best because you can see if from the front, oncoming left or right... I thought wrong and will have to find a better spot on the left hood.
  3. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
  4. My problem with Gas was I put on 55K-60K miles a year and after 2 years the $65K gasser is worth $25K at best. With the diesel it still has plenty of life left after 120K. Not saying you cant run gassers over 200K but their value is shot after 100K. The new diesel 6.7 powerstroke is quieter and doesn't spit plumes of blake smoke that stink. Thats what had kept me from getting one 10yrs ago... When I feel discomfort from sitting/driving I just turn on the massaging seats Ride safe everyone!
  5. Arctic cat gear you get what you pay for in my opinion! I will get a new jacket/bibs/boots every 3-4 years...
  6. Great ride and even better that you always take the time to post your trip reports with awesome pics! Looks like a decent start to a good base!
  7. At first I thought you filled the rotopack with water and placed it next to your exhaust so you could have hot coco trailside, haha! Is the exhaust louder with that setup?
  8. Nice! I will be curious to hear how it works.
  9. Whats that shock looking rod bolted on to the back tunnel by the grab bar?
  10. You may want to make sure there isn't too much heat next to the Roto pack it will ignite your afterburners.. Very nice look with the black tunnel and probably good skid proof surface too!!
  11. I am all for customizing but this is what happens when you breed a station wagon with a VW bus.. Thats a pumpmobile, leaking fluids so fast you cant leave the service station pump.
  12. We use the ones on a flexible cable so you can go in reverse without any issues with them down. They are a must on those early bitter mornings!
  13. Haha its fake news... I always notice how many sweet truck are pulling trailers with sleds so its all part of the fun. Lots of nice trucks so far and it will allow people to ask others how certain ones perform if they may be in the market. Nice working area!
  14. Nice Heated Shop 800Steve what size is it 30X40?
  15. Getting closer and closer to Hell Freezing Over every day...
  16. We have stopped at the Hotel Sacacomie once to get gas and were in awe. Check this place out http://www.sacacomie.com/hotel-sacacomie-quebec-winter-individual-activities-en.html its a must see at some point in your travels, kind of high end but good spot to take the wife too. Cool to watch the Planes land on the frozen lake out front and they have a lot of fun stuff on the ice with tubing and hiking... Sure people on here will have many other options as well.
  17. Nice Ride. Get her dressed up her cans are hanging out. Your installing the heated seat and extra capacity gas tank??
  18. RIP thoughts and prayers for his family.
  19. Absolute Sweetness! That T-cat is bad ass! Enjoy
  20. Thanks my wife always wonders why I call my truck "her" all the time, I say because she likes a good rub down too!! LOL Thanks Phil! I'm certainly not going to try to follow you to RDL either! Slow and steady for me, until the sled is unloaded at least. Much appreciated, I spend a lot of time in the truck for work. About 55K+ miles a year and the diesel will hold the value better as I click off the miles. Very Nice Truck! I think those window numbers are downhill wind at back numbers they give you on the sticker. I averaged 19 mpg going from VA to CT this monday which was first long trip with it, cruise at 75mph most of the way. About the same or a little better than the old F150 ecoboost.
  21. My buddy rented one of these out west and he was impressed on where the timbersled would go off trail. He spent most of his time boon-docking. Are you able to register a snow bike like a snowmobile so you can trail ride?
  22. Whats new this year? Anyone get new iron (or plastic)? I'm probably going to kick myself for not snow checking a new one this year (for me anyway) however there seems to be a decent selection of new sleds at the dealers, especially the cats. We did get a new ZR 200 for the kids which is a hoot to ride, even hauls adults around easy in the grass, I had to try it of course before I stored it till xmas. I don't have a picture of it on my phone because kids would find it before they get the sled and ruin a surprise but I will get one on here asap. Hoping fellow QRs can post pictures of their new sleds and/or new goodies for this year to inspire us ALL to go spend some more money...
  23. Like most here, I'm getting excited for the winter to come and have some high hopes for a good season with epic snow! Have my eyes on a new sled for this year but a truck came first, picked out a new Ford F250. There are some things I want to do such as better tires, tint, air ride for back, list is growing fast but really excited about the new F250 diesel coming from a bunch of F150s for many years. Should make for a comfy trip to/from quebec with massaging heated seats if nothing else... ; ) Post up pics of trucks and trailers HERE as we all get them ready for the snow tow season.
  24. Glad to hear your family survived the storm better than most. She would rather fare the generator for few more months than come spend the frigid winter with bro?... When we have really big storms here and power goes out, there is a major baby boom 9 months later... Not sure whats going to happen there, Just sayin theres plenty to DO when theres no power, TV or internet ; )
