well its that time of year again, have to hang up the mud tires and put on the snow tires

. i must say that the truck went about 10,000km's this summer and nothing broke(not including the tire carrier)except for one strut extension. every trip that we went on this year was worth the long hours in the seat. the best memories were powerfest, evans creek, rtv trails, sunrise lake, all the trips to gun lake and carpenter lake, and mud lakes. this was my first year wheelin' the kick and i was very impressed with what it can do when pushed a little bit. it was great to meet people from the forums and see new terrain. well now i must go finish building the winter igloo and get the dog sled ready for work tomorrow

(canadian humor). see ya all in the spring on the trails!
