Everyone ordering Amazon not leaving their place of residence. Internet buying going to kill everything local all thru Ontario. Next generation after me don’t even want to leave house to get food. They order meals in ie skip dishes or Uber eats is taking over too.
When is the last time you saw a coffee truck on the road? They are also pretty much gone. Another victim of skip and Uber eats.

You can buy a hitch extension at PA for pretty cheep.
Just be aware that the tailgate step will hit that hitch extension if step is opened with extension in.

I have never loaded a sled in any of my trucks with Multi Pro tailgate. I think I would put a sheet of plywood to protect tailgate. I have always wondered how strong the step part would be And do not feel like having to replace the tailgate
B and W hitches makes a ball mount specific for use with the GM tailgate step. It is called tow and stow ball mount for use with GMC Multi Pro tailgate
I was pretty happy with the one on my 2500 as I could leave the ball mount in and ball in place without the tailgate hitting the ball. As I liked the one for my 2500 (2 1/2” shank) I decided to purchase for my 1500 with 2” shank.
Unfortunately the tailgate will hit ball on the one for my 1500 when set at height. But the ball mount could be left in place if you use tow and stow feature to store ball in flipped forward position
On the newer models it is possible to lockout the tailgate step to prevent it being inadvertently opened and contacting a ball mount or trailer hitch

My buddy just finished installing his Titan seat on his AC ZR 9000.
This is the 3rd or fourth machine he has used the seat on and it still looks like new. They wear really well.

Wonder if a more dense foam costs more money than and it’s just a cost cutting measure.
I had read online that it was a supply chain issue that forced the change

I have done a lot of dumb stuff in my life, nothing quite like that though, and I love lake running.
Did you or anyone you know cut a hole in the ice to check thickness?

Winds not bad. Gusty occasionaly. Just heavy snow and its sticking to the trees. Hydro still on here in Port. Snow gauge is gone. Ran the blower twice already
For relevance how tall is the snow gauge? -
I am pretty sure that’s the make my buddy has on his Arctic Cat. He likes it. Has had it on a couple different sleds and mounting on his ZR 9000 now. He can remove it quickly and easily
And his 11 year old daughter would happily sit for the day on it even without her feet touching.
Sorry I do not have a better pic of it.

Wages are going to climb. But with inflation that does not necessarily mean people are better off. Or keeping pace with prices.
Until the government reigns in oil companies and their profits especially on Diesel everyone is screwed. Diesel is the life blood of our economy
Drop diesel prices by $1/litre and everything becomes cheaper!
But the government is more into their program of wealth distribution and control of the population.

I currently have a 7’ x 14’ with 5’ vee so 19’ long total Tandem axle is a little harder pull
But the extra room in the trailer is nice when travelling. Lots of space for two sleds and any extra crap you want to bring. Fuel cans, spare tires, tools, portable heater And room to preform some repairs
and as others have said the added headroom is a real bonus

Depending upon where you live and what highways you have to travel along but knowing my travels the last place I would want to be stuck sitting is on the shoulder of 401 or 400 anywhere near GTA due to a questionable axle or tire. Especially with a 101” wide trailer! My safety is worth way more then the price of an axle.
Forget the tow costs and lost trip it’s if you survive waiting for it and hooking it up onto tow truck

Checking the clamshell trailer yesterday and find there is absolutely no movement in the swing arm of the torsion suspension. The arm seems to be seized solid in the axle. It is a Easton of about 2011 vintage.
Anyone come across this before and have a solution. A new axle assembly is about $800 so I'd rather not go there!!
I thought these torsion suspensions were supposed to be bulletproof and maintenance free😟
$800 sounds cheap for an axle and if you have tools to do yourself right now.

Agreed re: great story, hard work by club.
The sign is effective.
In our cottage area, it's actually not ATVs that are the problem. It's tacos ( Toyota Tacoma's, and their ilk ). Chew what little earth there is ( Port Severn, Canadian Shield ) and spit it out as mud.
Groups like Orillia Off-road Recovery now called Trillium off road recovery only encourage the off-road crowd to go deeper and stupider Get stuck and some member is always willing to come in and pull them out for free. And they do it regularly
The stuck location is broadcast so other members can see where to go and it becomes a challenge to others

I'd hate to fill up my Titan from empty up there. 53L tank size
53 litres and pretty thirsty if running hard.
Mine was always the most expensive at the pumps

One thing that is different than other helmets is that you can't open just the shield to adjust eyeglasses over and around the nose shield. Once the shield comes down I guess the glasses have to be in the right spot Also wondering if anyone rides with the complete nose cover removed ? With no eyeglasses and the electric shield working the nose piece maybe isn't required ?
A friend of mine uses Mission with nose piece removed. He plugs in all the time and has no issues

Everyone has their own preferences. With e linq being plugged in really isn't an issue though. We should all be using a tether imo.
What’s a e link?

No. You need to purchase tag.

Better check the weight rating on the extensions The one pictured is rated as a class 2 3,500lbs max load.
How big of a trailer do you tow?
