Hi... I'm new here!

Welcome from Vancouver (Surrey). I lived in Campbell River for 4 years- loved the Island! Great offroading in my old Hilux.

 

I really wish we could get those in the US.

 

I work for BC Ambulance Service.
You guys are hilarious... Thanks for the er, warm welcome! I'm from southern Vancouver Island~ born & raised. I do love it, but I have to say I'm a real sucker for ranchlands too. I have not been fortunate enough to venture nearly enough into the different states, but I do love what I've seen of Oregon!

Pictures of me? Hmmmm, we'll see... Lol

 

That's great to hear! What kind of tires/rims do you have & did you have and rubbing issues or have to do any trimming? I have my heart set on 33" Toyo Open Country M/Ts.

 

Welcome from Seattle, neighbor.

 

From my understanding, you guys have protocols that surpass ours. BCAS used to be pretty cutting edge, but that's all in the past. I'm just at a basic level- PCP is what it's known as here. I can barely keep my skills up~~ not getting enough on car time, as I've been working in the dispatch centre alot, plus longshoring. I'm kind of a jack (Jill?) of all trades, master of none.

 

Welcome to TW from Nevada!! Yeah, these guys will always asks for pics of TW girls that join up, haha!!

 

Welcome from massachusetts. I hope your job pays well because you will be spending a lot on this site..hahaha

 

Both jobs pay well Vidman, but probably not well enough for this latest obsession. Here I thought I did a good thing by getting almost totally out of horses. Well this may be almost as bad!

LOVE that front bumper BTW. What kind is is?

 

Looks like an All-Pro

 

Welcome! Looks like there is a new trend on the site, the Canadians are taking over, hahaha!

Welcome from Calgary, I have seen some wheeling pics from out on the island and they look amazing, lucky you!

 

Welcome...already lots in common...fellow westcoaster, chick and love our tacos!

 

Welcome & enjoy, my gal loves to pose with my 2010 SR5 Off Road!!

 

go for the toyo open countrys i love mine :] they are great tires

 

Glad to hear as I just ordered mine! Now for the rims...

 

Welcome aboard from the lower 48. If you've been lurking you already know it's a great site. Tons of information for you on your truck.
As to a canopy, check out Searchtempest.com (craigslist). I bought mine used and saved quite a few bucks. Got to do a bit of looking and then jump when you see one.
Don't worry about the color as many places can color match. My canopy was originally black, had it painted at Maaco. Total investment with paint, about 900 bucks. New SnugTop would have been about 2300. Save lots to put into other toys.
Good luck. Ken

 

Thanks Ken!! Checked out Searchtempest, and WOW!!! So glad you pointed that out. Wished I'd known about that sooner- what a time saver as I am frequently searching for used online bargains. Very handy indeed.

And yes, I am already in love with this site. What a wealth of info. Not enough time in the day to read it all, but I do what I can. It's definitely making my wish list get longer....and longer....

I did manage to find a great canopy through UsedVancouver.com. It's a black Leer that came off an identical truck. The guy only had it 7 months & it's WAY nicer than I needed: Insulated, Thule roofracks, cargo net, etc. But hey- it was love at first sight. The guy was firm on $1900. But I took it to the Cap It place that sells it & they said new it was a $3300. canopy. Sheesh, I have paid less than that for vehicles!

And so it begins.

Pics to come if it ever stops raining!

 

Welcome TacoGrl!

I am another girl here! There's at least a few around!

I'm in the midst of buying my new one....waiting for it patiently, as hard as it is!

Welcome and I look forward to seeing your mods!
