Damn that looks good. Where at?

 

Awesome pictures! truck looks completely different without the cap.

 

Near Barrie ,woke it to a little snow this morning

Ya caps off ,I think camping seasons about over for another year.

 

Where in Barrie? In laws are near Essa/400 and I'm up there occasionally.

 

Horseshoe Valley area , there a few no winter maintenance roads, snow belt area

 

Where was this

 

surprised you take it on and off that must be a decent amount of work with all that was going on in there.

and camping season is never over just need warmer gear

 

I agree and disagree with this statement.

 

Ya, all along the escarpment has some decent roads like that, in around belfountain area is similar

 

It take a little more than an about hour to change it over and put the tailgate back on, .As for camping season ,if I am winter camping I prefer -10 to -15 as everything stays dry, and end of February or the first of March as the days are longer then.

 

do you have access to a forklift or something? impressive it can come off that fast, would've thought it would be too heavy to remove easily and then take out all the drawers

 

I do have access to 4 forklifts but don't use them,I build a box thats the same size and height as my truck ,,, I can just slide it from one to the other

 

that's pretty kick ass

You gonna get those parts?

 

Yeah, thats a pretty nice truck with all those parts ready to go from the factory. Slap some 33s on like they did and its ready to go.

I’ll probably grab a few, transfer case skid and the rear diff skid forsure.
Im not sure I like the rear bumper yet, front bumper is nice but this is AEV stuff, it comes with the bumper, new fascia pieces, new wheel liners, have to order new front skid to work with that bumper.
Thats going to add up to a lot of $$$$
Wheels are nice too, but to get the wheels up here with bead ring for 4-$1956

 

^One of the drawbacks of the 2nd gen Colorado yeah? Uncommon lug pattern, shared with only the Caddy SRX if I remember correctly.

 

That price is more for AEV stuff, yes fairly uncommon but more companies are offering 6x120 when releasing new wheels.

I’ve been eyeing method 701s
4wheelparts has em for 15% off. Under $1000
Icon just released tires for my truck, its becomig more popular.

They’ll take over the tacoma soon if toyota doesnt step it up

 

Nice watch with my coffee this morning.






I filled 9 bags with sand this weekend, to plant the rear of the truck with this stupid snow sneaking up. It made a huge difference last year so I am sticking to it.

Think I really only need 5 or 6.

 

I will never buy nice new rims for my truck.

The 1st time I ding them off road, I would be so upset it would not be worth the rage generated.

 

Read this at lunch then
Scroll to the bottom.
