Nova Scotia BS Thread

No,not good at all.
Supposed to get more today. Pretty heavy and low to the ground.
Couple weeks back we got a lot of high altitude haze from Alberta.

 

Forest and people’s homes.

 

I am supposed to be heading up there for vacation in a few weeks. Wondering if I should make alternate plans since I have seen articles about banning travel into the woods

Hope everyone is safe.

 

Wouldn’t hurt but I’d imagine this will be cleared up in few weeks

 

If we get enough rain they will lift the order, if not it may extend for weeks.

 

I think we are getting some rain on the weekend around here .

 

We have a total fire ban until June 25th "unless conditions change". I would assume the woods restrictions will be in place for the same period of time. We're supposed to get a bunch of rain this weekend which should help but it is hot and dry right now

 

I saw they are handing out HUGE fines for open fire right now. Back up plan is Gaspe Peninsula. This will be the 3rd time the NS trip is postponed. Maybe the province is trying to tell me something

 

$25k

 

Weather radar shows you may be getting some needed rain

 

Raining here now in Halifax area, that fire is no longer “out of control”. Shelburne fire is a beast and will need a lot more wet weather to be out of danger.

 

Well guys i no longer have the taco...traded it in for this

The taco should pop up for sale in halifax anytime now.

 

Man, we need to start a memorial thread for all these guys selling their tacos!

Left the hi-lift on and everything hey Kirk? Any red flags we should know about?

@D2. Your kids must be getting bigger - time for four real doors?

-Needs a new clutch/sometimes when in reverse it doesnt register its actually in reverse(no lights or backup cam)
-Needs new windshield
-should have all the fluids replaced
-the bed is split under both taillights
-tires are end of life and weather cracked
-both cv boots ripped
-everything is rusted

 

Not gonna lie, still tempted lol

 

I have a NIB clutch kit i can sell ya for 300 bucks for the truck. Its in NL with me now but i can send it back to the Valley at the end of the month with family thats visiting me.

 

That was my issue. Had maybe one or two more years before everything would need to be patched or replaced. Sold it before it needed more work than it was worth.
I like the 2024s but I’m sure they will be spendy so I could afford a 2024 in 2030

 

Haha, thanks but I think I'm better sticking with the problems I have instead of trading for a new set

 

This is pretty much the point I am getting to with mine. Just did the front shocks and a brake caliper and it was a rusty nightmare compared to my car. Which is 33 years old, but doesn't see the winter.

I was into a dealer today, and they still don't even know the pricing of the new trucks. They are also saying that the hybrids are not returning that great of a fuel economy, but are making far more towing grunt so that they smaller turbo motor will feel more like a proper engine than the 3.5L currently does.

 

Can’t be worse than the 18l/100kms (13mpg) I was getting in my old truck.
