OP: Does your truck have hill-descent? Is that what it feels like? I have the 2wd/Auto/4H/4L switch and leave it in Auto all winter. Except in deep snow or glare ice, where 4H works better. Deep snow performance seems to best in 4H with VDC off. Just watch out for the ditches. The cold has been mess...

Yup, it was a learning experience. Wolf attacks are pretty much unheard of around here, at least on healthy humans (pets disappear on a regular basis). I have had a few run ins with them in the past, and mostly they just seem curious. About that mace thing: I just took the bear spray out of my fishi...

And it seems to work stunningly well in my experience

Yup, it's snow season here. I drive an '06 Pathfinder (with a new rad) as my gravel road / off road fishing and kayaking vehicle. New Toyo AT2's have made an impressive difference. Besides airlift bags and a bunch of racks it's stock. It presently has a pane of window glass replaced by duct tape. Mo...

One more Brown for the official "fishing" thread: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/524563_10153220633090276_465620068_n.jpg Hit a surface "popper". I guess nobody told the trout that it's a bass fly .:roll: Caught a couple more once darkness set in. Before t...

Nice pictures! The advantage of buying a "broken in" used Pathfinder: I don't care about bush pin-striping, nor does it get washed very often (unless it rains, lol). I do take the truck several hours off the beaten path, so I make sure the mechanicals get lots of attention ...the paint not...

Thanks! No, that Cutthroat came from a creek near Fernie. Not exactly road trip related, but I discovered a river near me which had a batch of brown trout released in the 80's. They are apparently thriving: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1173681_10153102008730276_1932905637_n...

Wow! Nice salmons :D We took the truck to BC as well, but got by without a snorkel. Our fishing was a bit different too: Doing this: https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/397027_10153009954630276_1421410373_n.jpg to catch this: https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/...

Yeah, I've done a few trips towing tonnage (in a previous career) with a Cummins across the continent ...definitely keeps you on your toes. Especially when experiencing brake fade down a Colorado pass... :? Thanks for the inflation tips. I left them at 18 lbs without a load while driving some nasty ...

Heisenberg

Thanks for the umm, "support"? :lol:(Ducks and covers) I stopped inflating at 18 psi ...so I should have kept going? Maybe that means I should buy a camping trailer in addition to all the toys? I don't mind trailers all that much. I'm usually the one elected to back up 30' campers or launc...

Heisenberg

But I guess I'm too cheap

Covered 3500 km like that. Thankfully I have air bags in the rear springs, but I probably should have adjusted my head lights slightly

The family is packing up the buggy this weekend and driving from Northern Ontario to Lower Mainland of BC. As many of you probably heard on the news, Southern Alberta has just experienced some biblical flooding, with the Trans Canada Hwy washing out in many spots. The initial route was Calgary / Can...

I empathize with the post above. We were a one-car family for the last 10 years or so. We bought an 07 Passat wagon (special ordered to get manual) and it has been a great car. Amazing driving dynamics, lots of room and decent on gas even though it's not a diesel. I did go through suspension bushing...

Did the clutch last night, as my bruised forearms can attest. I ended up unbolting (in this order) - engine cover - air intake - black bumper trim strip - metal under-engine tray - unclipped hoses & removed lower shroud - unbolted upper shroud Then I was able to move the upper shroud out of the ...

Heisenberg

I must be a Klutz (TM) as it took me over 2 hours wrestling with the bags last night :shock: Part of the problem was the working environment: A not-quite level gravel driveway, along with a TON of sand and gravel raining down on me from under the truck whenever I touched something. Yes, I did try to...

Things got all "Jack London" on me...

I should probably just get a trailer....

3000 km one-way ...potentially into flood devastation?
