Calgary Roll Call

I did the Calgary to Nova Scotia drive last spring and cut through the States. Saved a little on gas and hotels/food for sure. Did it solo and it was alight, I went off the beaten path and along the Great Lakes, which was a nice drive (except almost everything there is bankrupt and boarded up). Weather would be way better this time of year (I caught some snow/ice storms and got stuck in Fargo for a day).

I'd rather do the drive in a car though. Actually, I'd rather just freaking fly.

 

Haha It's the first option google maps give too. Apparently google thinks driving is crazy

 

Ha!

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind driving, but there is a whole lotta nothing between Calgary and Nova Scotia.

 

Oh, I remember. I don't look forward to it but it is what it is. 3 days driving is worth it to have all my gear with me.

 

3 days?!?! I thought i was doin good to get it done in 4.5-5 days by myself.

 

Damn, I took a solid 5 days last spring; although getting snowed into Fargo for a day didn't help. Also, spending that day consuming all the Craft Beer I could get my hands on may have delayed my departure the next morning a bit...

 

Me and a buddy drove back last time in the summer. 53 hours door-door. Only shut off the Tacoma to put fuel in it.
Thought I was being generous at a few days

 

New member to the forum, but have been a lurker for a while now. I'm from Cape Breton but just moved out to Red Deer about a month ago. I decided to go check out Cochrane Toyota and ended up 2 weeks later coming home with a new truck.
I use to follow FUSE's build way back when on a local forum of eastern canada LowMotion, that truck is the main reason I started looking into tacomas and then I found this site.
I initially wanted a Blue Ribbon Metallic access cab in a manual but when i started looking at the dealer I fell in love with the double cab TRD sport premium.
Anyways heres the truck. Just has a 3inch Toytec lift with the famous Bilstein 5100's and a set of the TRD bronze wheels.






I'm hoping to meet up someday with a few of the people from the forum in the area!

 

You need to find Kevin in Red Deer. You may have seen his Tacoma rolling around.

 

What are you doing in Red Deer?

 

I moved out here for work, I'm a Field Specialist with a well service company.

Would he be the silver access cab with method NV's, snorkel, and plate bumpers? If so I seen that going one evening.

 

The silver AC is tony he is ghost848 on here. Fire him a PM and he will hook you up with our group. Here is his profile http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/member.php?u=74480

 

No way! Didn't even know I had that much influence haha. Too bad old LowMotion went the way of the dinosaur. Its a ghost town; I haven't even bothered posting in ages.

Your truck looks great though! Very well done.

 

Hi Calgary I'm from Fernie BC... I need an experienced shop to buy/install long travel suspension. Any suggestions?

 

Cochrane Toyota. Total chaos is a top of the line kit. Don't bother with allpro.

 

If anyone is looking?
