Nova Scotia BS Thread

the previous driver didn't have n e thing special added for tires just regular truck tires
so ill probably go to okay tire or crappy tire and grab 5 BFG KO2s for it

5 if the spare rim and spare tire spot will hold a ko2 in its spot

 

I don't think the v6 is gonna help much, if you are running stock wheels. I always stop at Sackville or Salisbury for coffee and the can when I am headed to Gagetown, and generally get gas while I'm at it. I can't remember for sure if I ever ran the whole way from Cole Harbour without buying gas, but I think it might be just possible. I am running 265/70R17 Toyo CTs, they are a size up from stock and pretty heavy. Not sure if the size makes much difference but I am sure the weight does. You will have no problem carrying a full size spare. If it's tight, just tap the guides with a hammer to open them a hair.

 

When's the next coffee meet! Not til next year, eh?

 

thats farther then i get with the 4 banger from LT i have to stop at Aluc i think its called the one I'm talking about is where the big stop is and where you get off to get to PEI and all that

 

Back when I played hockey my dad and I used to stop there on our way back from tournaments to get food and pie!

 

On another note if you can find one of these its recommended I bought this so I can plan a trip to go around New Brunswick just using off road trails they sell Nova Scotia ones in gas stations there
Plus they had a app for smart phones BRMP app you have to pay 9.99 a year to use it , it's a off road gps as well I haven't used the app yet so not sure how it works gonna be using the book and app this summer to go water falling gonna visit 7 or 8 waterfalls in a day maybe camp

 

Yeah, I can definitely get to Aulac from either Cole Harbour or Gagetown without stopping!

 

I'm Assuming your from 1st Field hey ?

 

I haven't seen those...

I've seen the Nova Scotia back road maps.

I really like to explore with 2 or 3 trucks vs going on giant club runs like before.

I've gone through too many wheel bearings.

 

I go out alone when ever i go well with passenger if i go with anybody now its a guy i work with since he got his brand new tampon truck he wants to go wheeling with it NB has to much snow now I'm itching to get some snow wheeling in but yeh not with 1 truck

 

Looking at the app on the Google play store,

100 people have downloaded it and it has 2.5 stars. It's iffy but I may give it a try

 

No, I learned my lesson a few years ago. I avoid wheeling alone if I can, and if I'm out looking for a good hunting/camp spot I won't do it unless I can do it in 2wd.

I've been stuck in snow banks on my way out of the range all by myself needing to poop! That was a good day.

 

I guess you'll have to move back to NS so you can come out with us!

 

yeah I'm trying i have to leave the army and go air force and get posted to either shearwater or greenwood

yeah i never noticed just checked apple store reviews there all bad LoL

 

ah yes, that makes things a little more difficult !

 

its like i still live there my parents moved back from goosebay labrador and plus i own land in bedford with a cottage i spent quite a bit of my summer down there july august

 

If you get greenwood a few of us live nearby.

 

Yeah 4th regt here

Greenwood that's where the wife wants me to go but I want sheerwater

 

Reminder check your rear diffs , checked all fluid today rear diff was dangerously low

 

Yes, that's my home unit.

Perhaps a more helpful answer to the fuel consumption question, according to Scanguage I get about 16 of 17 litres per hundred km in the city, about 14 litres per on the highway. You might get better with the auto.
