School the aussie on US/Canadian pick up trucks!

So it eventually took me a while longer to sell my vehicle back home than planned and I had to eat a bit of a loss on the sale unfortunately. So I dropped my price range and had been looking around the kootaneys for a decent vehicle.

Of which I realised there was a somewhat shortage in the pick up range.

Ended up finding a pretty good condition 4runner not 5mins down the road from my new house. 98 model, very clean interior, power everything and the 3.4L V6, the kilometres were a little high but I've investigated and it seems they have a good reputation for handling well over the 300K range. Came with quite new winter tyres on toyo rims as well as the summer set so I'm happy!

I hope you tested it.

Yeah, it pretty well looks brand new. The guy had just upgraded to a new pieps transceiver through a pro deal, because his gf is the AST instructor around here. She will actually be my instructor when I get around to doing it.

I just managed to pick up a used DTS tracker for $100, I'm sure it will do me fine for entry lvl backcountry adventures once I do my ATS 1.

What is recommended for probes, shovels etc guys?

Recommended snowboard shops in Van

Hey guys, so finally I am back in good old BC. I need to get my mate kitted out with gear for the winter by Monday morning when we fly to Fernie.

Is there anywhere recommended to hit up for decent sales/prices. We are staying at the Samesun on Granville.

california drought

They require a huge amount of energy to operate. Energy = $$$$. Where do you get that energy?

I think we need a sarcasm font…

california drought

They need to build a de-sal plant! That's what we did here in Sydney and not only did it break the drought, but it has now cost us $390 million since in upkeep fees. That big ass plant costs us a mild $500K a day to just sit there.

They estimate at our current water levels of 85%, we won't need to start up the plant for at least several years :rocker:

Love them own a 2000 4x4 that I bought as a work truck paid $5200 it has 116k on it.$7000 seems a bit on the high side for a truck that age but better then newer with higher mileage.I like the body style it's a truck not a glorified penis extension.

$5200, damn that is a good price. This one has a few extra additions to it from a stock standard I guess, plus you know how money talks when it comes down to actually putting in a offer.

2000 f150 XLT
2nd owner
4.6 V8 auto 4x4
power locks and mirrors
alarm system, 2 din stereo with alpine door speakers with sub
front warn bull guard, almost colour matching canopy.
rancho 9000xl adjustable shocks, b[HTML_REMOVED]m deep transmission pan.
33inch pro comp all terrains on 17inch rims around 60 to 70% left, set of 16inch rims with tires included aswell.
$7000 reasonable offers will be accepted

What do you guys think of the early 2000's shape F-150s. I've come across a few good deals for the 4.6L triton equipped trucks. One especially that is asking $7K for only 110,xxxkms!

haha too true. I guess its just the same as over here. Definitely has been helpful though. Given I have no bias personally its meant I can look at all models mentioned to decide on myself.

Ill have to shout ya'll a beer if I ever get to meet you guys though!
