Neither actually. Lots of little things and a few bigger ones that built up over the past year and the guy who started it just got fed up.

That's too bad. It seemed like a great organization from what I knew of it, and a great place to find local information.

Look for a new local forum in the near future started by some of the team. Keep an eye on the CT4WD Facebook page for an announcement when it starts up.
 
I think I mentioned before that the signal light housings for my ARB bumper had melted through because they weren't designed for the heat of the signal lights also being daytime running lights.

So every time I did a deep water crossing or used the pressure washer to spray mud out of the bumper the cold water would hit the hot bulb and cause it to splode. So contact ARB, explain the problem, get new signal light housings. Obviously don't want to keep replacing these so ordered some v3 Tritons to put in there. Unfortunately there was no way they'd fit in ARB's housings without some major modifications, which I didn't feel like attempting. I also think the heat sinks on the back of the Tritons would've melted the housing eventually. Next option was some 1156 replacement bulbs and load resistors from superbrightleds.

They're pretty much the exact same size as a regular 1156 bulb, fit in the socket and housing without any issues, and the load resistors they sell are incredibly easy to install. No splicing wires as they sort of just vampire tap into your existing wires. I even tapped them into the ARB wires instead of further up into the oem wires because I figured they'd be cheaper and easier to replace if something goes wrong. Took no time to install and they're easily as bright as the incandescent 1156 bulbs that used to be in there.
 
Oh not much, just an easy trail that ended up being heavily rutted with big mud holes.

Airing down.

Stopped during a recovery and thought this looked like a good shot.

I found a little mud. Ignore how beat up that front plate from my bumper is.

I just came back from Cranbrook over the Crowsnest Pass and there are already 2-3 inches down in that area. Time to go dig out the winter tires I guess.
 
SNOW DAY!

Wow....your snow day is more than we see all year long down where I am...lol. That looks wet and cold, but I see guys wearing shorts so must be due to local acclimation. I would be freezing coming from the desert southwest...lol.

Lots of fun!


I need a trip to Canada.

Yeah, it wasn't really too cold. Above freezing for sure once the sun came out. That was the result of maybe 12 hours of snowfall.
 
It's so weird that I am 8 hours North of you and haven't even had that kind of snow to have fun with yet. All because of the Rocks! Awesome pics.
 
Sad sad day. Took off the MTRs and SCS wheels and put on the Rotiivas and stock wheels. Also took the tent off. All prepared for the "polar vortex" that's supposed to hit tomorrow. I had to laugh though, because the "polar vortex" is supposed to drop the temperature down to something like -12C. That's like spring around here.
