Trucks, Trailers, Towing and Misc Accessories

[Canuck]

Just bough a new set of wheels and tires for my Wells Cargo from Trailer Tires.com. They came mounted but not balanced. Do you guys balance your trailer tires or is there no need.

Balance them. Your car inside the trailer will thank you.

Lets talk Duramax Trucks......

what tuners do you like,

what about the EGR delete kits?

what ex system have you guys been running, most guys claim 4&quot; kits on the net...... my old Cummins ran better with a &quot;3.5 and only one muffler I thought and had a nice mellow tone to it

thinking the same for the Chev? I want it to breath but don't need the obnoxious drone I hear on big ex trucks driving around me.

Whats the scoop fella's???????


I picked up an early '07 LBZ motor'd truck and need to turn it up a tad.


Peace, B.

She wasn't much of a tow rig, but it was my daily for a few summers. Still kicking myself for selling it. I painted it Ferrari monza tri-coat red (my first ever complete tri-coat), 10.5:1 4 banger neighbor waker, all ported polished and custom cam. 4.56 gears, spool, all the sway bar and suspension goodies. She was the best looking mini truck in the area.

And what stupid me did with the money from little red. Bought BIG RED. Cool truck ill admit, it was all west coast original, hopped up SBC and a 4 speed stick. Slider window, hooker headers and true 3'' straight pipes. Sounded like hell was raising up from the dead. Haha





Then what the NEW owner did a few days after i sold it. Hydro locked that bad ass SBC and basically f*cked the old girl right up. A sad sight.

5 year update. Took delivery of my 2003 Yukon XL 15 year s ago today. It just turned 220,000 Km (thats 135,000 miles)and runs like new. Still has original exhaust and engine and trans are working well. At this stage I hope to get to 30 years ownership and double the mileage.




This photo was taken this morning.



Most notable trip in the past year was a 4 and 1/2 day hot lap from Vancouver to Phoenix on the May long weekend, 2017 to pick up a load of sheet metal. 3000 miles in 4.5 days. Day 2 was 900 miles from LeGrande Oregon to Kingman AZ, average speed 73 MPH.came back with a uhaul full of parts.
Bugs to prove it


Of the 220,000 KM, 67,000 have been towing a trailer.

Here are some photos of my 24 ft Wells Cargo, purchased in 2005. I took it out of storage recently and notice more stains from the screws holding the panels in place.





Decided to replace them with stainless steel. Bought 400 from local fastener supplier only to make two trips back as total neared 800 screws.

I used 2 Rigid Impact Drills, one to remove and another to install after cleanup was done.




End result, a nice clean trailer, no more rust stains.
