Bar T5 Trailers & Equipment in Salmo, BC

We just normally order your cargo and utility trailers. Mainly Challengers, Blazers and sometimes the SilverCrown and Qualifiers. Were not a huge buisness but we do about 60 trailers a year. Charles is a great guy to deal with.

 

I don't think my cow was old by any means, but I don't know that she was young. We had pack horses but the mountain was too steep and snow covered to safely get the horses up there...

She hadn't taken more than a couple steps from her bed she was in for the day when I dumped her and it was in 2 ft of snow. I gut her on the spot and sawed open the rib cage and propped it open for the night. It was dark about the time I finished gutting her. When I got back to her in the morning she was frozen solid. I got her to a butcher about 2 days later. She was still frozen solid. The butcher had her for almost 3 weeks before he cut her up. So as far as the aging and all that went I think I was good. I must have just got a bad cow maybe. I don't mind the hamburger so much, but the steaks are like 50/50.

And cougar meat huh? I've heard predators are nasty... In fact I don't think I have ever heard of anyone actually eating a cougar. haha. Not that I know any of the cougar hunters around here very well.

I've heard Moose is where it's at. haha.

 

i have build quite a few of your trailers, i think we just did an 18 ft stacker for you if im not mistaken...last week. not sure, i personally build 12 a day. 43 a day coming out total. always wander who the hell keeps buying all these lol. hope you continue selling our products!

 

Ben, I had to laugh when I saw this post. It's catching on.

 

Hey Mike do you have any pics of hoe you mounted your blue sea fuse box?

 

sorry mac, its sitting on my workbench amongst the pile of things I need to do.

But when I do get it mounted, I'm thinking in front of the brake booster on a plate bolted to the inner fender. I have a lot of room there as my smog control devices are minimal whereas you likely have several bulky items in that area. At least that's the way The Raisin's '97 is.

 

That's awesome! So you mean deckover when you say stacker? That may very well be possible that you built that one for us. I have another big one coming down the pipe. Its gonna be a 28 ft 10k deckover, im sure you'll see it in the next week or two.

 

probabaly never will. KM2s man..

Nope mine are C

mine are C ha

 

i thought the diaper term has been used for a while. did you coin that one mike?

 

yeah, we call tham stackers, with the pnuematic stinger lifts, but i was pretty sure that 18 ft Eliminator was for you guys.
unfortunately i tore the miniscus (sp?) in my right knee last week, and will me out for at least a couple of weeks. unfortunate as this is the time of year we make good production. have you toured the new plant since we moved 4 years ago?

 

No. The first time I ever heard the refference was from Ben. He asked me about my bamf pumpkin diaper. You know Ben, always

 

I Love my KM2's!!!! They are e rated.

 

No, we've never ordered an Eliminator. And i havent had a chance to get down there either. We were suppose to come down for the trade show last year but couldnt make it.

 

Mine are also E's and I thought Ben's were too.

I just took a look at their specs and all R15 KM2's are C rated while the rest of the sizes are about half and half D and E rated.

 

my mistake i guess, to many orders running through my head; you guys have got a couple of snowbirds/snowkings recently though? i am all the way at the end of the weld line, assembling the final product before it is painted, inspecting all the welds, and recording the VIN #, so i see every order and dealer name

 

cause we are cool haha jk. But i do have MASSIVE side wall flex

 

Oh thats cool! Yeah i just recently ordered a 8.5X16 Snowbird.

 

Just out of curiosity, are most of your KM2's the 255/85R16 size? I have been looking at them for a while and want to know how they are with snow?

 

thats correct on Bradys size..i can tell you they do not so great in snow

 

IDK i thought they kicked ass in the snow compared to other mud tires except for the MTR it does good in the snow.
