  2. What are you washing your truck with salt water? My 05 gmc is still mint. The only rust i were the tail pipe exits and a bit around to mud guards. Ive also Krowned mine since new
  3. Atc what Dodge did you end up buying? Options ect. and a what price. Seaching autotrader I find prices all over the map. Heard an add on the radio for a jammed long horn 1500 for 45k?
  4. Bohica is correct. If your tailpipe has soot in it it either has no dpf or the dpf is bad and can no longer trap soot particals.

    Winter 2017

    Im just heading back from Cochrane. I rode with 4 800etechs, 2 assults one a 600 the other an 800 and 2 1200 doos. We where riding hard all weekend at temps from plus 4-8. The 1200s always got the best milage followed by the etechs. The 2 polariss were close but always used more. No one was getting anymore them 200km per tank this weekend
  7. Im in Orangeville and our area has gone nuts as well. People are selling there 1-2 million dollar homes in the city and moving this way. I know a lot of people wanting to cash out and move north but once your out of this hot market it's tough to get back in if you want to come back
  8. Anyone know of a place to leave our trucks for a few days on the North side of Sudbury?
  9. Id rather ride something fun and exciting than a droning army tank with skis. Winters are to short. Who cares if a Yamaha can go 50000 miles? Any snowmobile can reach that many miles if you keep throwing enough money at it.
  10. When the procross came out in 2012 what was the percentage of failures? I bet every unit built went back for some kind of warranty work.
  11. What do you want for it?

    House build

    I built a home in 2002 and it was full foundation. I questioned the builder and they told me it was standard procedure.

    OFSC AGM

    News for Ontario Snowmobiling! OFSC snowmobile clubs made a historic culture shift this morning at their 2016 Annual General Meeting. Their decision to approve the implementation of an ambitious and innovative new plan called "More On The Snow" over the next two or three years helps secure a successful future for organized trail riding in Ontario. It also sets a bold new direction for delivering great trails that will be the envy of many other snowmobile organizations in North America and a template many will emulate in years to come. A multi-layered and integrated plan, More On The Snow will maximize effective and efficient use of permit dollars and improve rider experience by moving management of grooming operations from clubs to OFSC districts (reduced in number from the current 16 to 12), with clubs working collaboratively to plan and deliver grooming for their entire region rather than independently within individual club boundaries as is now the case. This new coordinated approach will streamline grooming as shared equipment goes wherever needed in each region, making for more seamlessly smooth trails and helping to assure more regular grooming even when a machine breaks down. More On The Snow will also use permit dollars more effectively, saving money by moving management of groomer fleet operations to the provincial level where the ongoing purchase, replacement and allocation of these $250,000 + machines will be planned and delivered centrally (rather than piecemeal by individual clubs) thereby assuring that the entire fleet is being continually evaluated, monitored and updated with new equipment. This will improve rider experience with better and more consistent grooming capability (with fewer breakdowns) everywhere. Central fleet management will reduce costs by taking maximum advantage of bulk buying opportunities and new options such as short term rentals, leasing and equipment sharing, and by reducing costly repairs on aging machines. Finally, More On The Snow improves rider experience by building stronger clubs and reducing volunteer workload in club administration and paperwork, enabling volunteers to focus more on delivering great trails and club social activities. Two years in the planning, More On The Snow builds on an OFSC permit revenue redistribution decision several years ago that among other things now allocates more grooming dollars each season to regions with more snow. The many rider benefits of More On The Snow will not be seen overnight, but over the next several years should make Ontario an even better trail riding destination. Congratulations to OFSC clubs for having the vision and commitment to approve More On The Snow! #ontariosnowtrails #gosnowmobilingontario Yesterday at 3:45pm · Public · in Timeline Photos View Full Size Megan Dijkema and 87 others like this. View previous comments… Patrick Crickard I really don't know how this is going to work for deciding from the district level where to groom, and how often. Our district office location has a very different season then where our club is located. We get a hell of a lot more snow and traffic up north verses where our district office is. I really hope they don't paint is with the same brush as far as grooming. Also I really hope they do not give us any tractors. Keep the tractors where they were meant to be....in farm fields. Am also a volunteer and a club executive, that works hard to keep the trails open for future years to come for my children. I really hope they looked at this well, because we are in dire need of change up north where we get all the snow and have the most aging fleet, and run a pile of miles, and hours. 1 · Yesterday at 10:36pm The Intrepid Snowmobiler Valid concerns, Patrick and that's why the northern districts voted for the new plan. Graham Duke Love all the anti tractor groomer comments where the hell does OFSC think buying $300,000 ski hill groomer money will come from if they keep selling $180 permits. Big dreams. 3 tractor purchases for every 2 Prinoth or Piston Bulley. Think about it. 2 · Yesterday at 11:42pm The Intrepid Snowmobiler The clubs in each district will decide on a district grooming plan, so if local trails... More See all 5 replies Tyler Hoy Not happy about mots going through too much shit needs to be addressed before it's going to work They screwed up on framework for change and only have a two year plan for mots yet and when you ask them anything about year three yet and they don't have an answer on how things are going to work isn't good Permit prices need to go up there is no ifs ands or buts about it There better be a significant increase for next year or we can't sustain ourselves We went down the wrong path with these 187.50 permits 1 · Yesterday at 11:57pm The Intrepid Snowmobiler Snow certainly helped, but permit sales at the higher fees had been dropping off for many... More See all 4 replies Pat Murray After years of being heavily involved in my local club I call total bullshit. Clubs that have been successful for all these years are now being forced to turn over assets and management our there clubs. The so called monies they r trying to save will be spent on 12 new groomer managers that will do nothing but piss off the volunteers and drivers in the clubs. After spending two years negotiating our club out of a dominating control district there is no way I want any more of that grey hair making BS Good luck to you all! I'll be out riding GBay with the Cowboys! 3 · Today at 1:40am The Intrepid Snowmobiler Change is never easy, Pat.

More Pat Murray Garranty 12 new groomer coordinators will suck the rest of the money and life out of the clubs. 3 · 5 hours ago The Intrepid Snowmobiler Don't know where you're getting that 12 number from - first I've heard of it. At... More Ron Bates Our club was doing great and I think this spells the end of local clubs and volunteer ism. That has to be what the ofsc wants, complete district control. With no volunteers and pride, the trails will suffer.

More Bonnie Taylor What about the smaller trails that people who live in remote areas off of the c trail use. Will these still be serviced.

More See all 4 replies Pat Murray Of coarse you haven't heard because it is still unknown. 12 districts All districts with approx 20 groomers to look after, there in not a volunteer that is going to look after this size of fleet. Talk to me in two years time and we will discuss how much this program is really saving. I do wish continued success to the OFSC, but this cat is going off the grid. 1 · 3 hours ago The Intrepid Snowmobiler Too bad, you're going to miss being part of a great success! Gord Jones I'm afraid we may see great volunteers walking away from clubs who have been running and grooming very efficiently based on snow, weather conditions, etc, all while working around volunteers"real life schedules" if they are going to be told how and when to volunteer their time properly. It may be a great business model but then it will have to be run as a business, not a volunteer organization. We'll see. Just now
