Similar to British Columbia, in the aspect of there being so much to do and the natural beauty, gotta pay to play here but man it's worth it.

I've put a good dent in BC but I know how much I missed driving past all those side roads. I'd like to get a small group run one day.

Damn dude that is a sweet boat! Were you actually able to sell the sailboat since it was waterlogged or did you end up having to just trash it?

Have you ever checked out whipsaw trail outside of Princeton? If memory serves me right its an 8 hour trail it ends at a beautiful lake you can camp at then make the journey back the next day. I believe a lot of the people that run it suggest at least 33's a rear locker optional winch if your locked and with a buddy. Should check it out on youtube theres some good vids of it

I didn't get into this sport/hobby when I still lived in BC.

That sounds like an epic ride though.

i thought about buying it myself and re-selling it, but my bank account got the better of me

I'm down, i already parted out an 87, it was rough didn't get much out of it and it had a 22r in it. first gens are hard to find, the 2nd gens are a dime a dozen in my town, think there's 3 for sale just at the bargain shop right now let alone all the online ones.

Ian, I was curious if it was you that told me one time to not bother with those soft touch switches? they have them at Pep Boys.

I was also thinking of using the push button type with the black face instead... try and get a few colors for each purpose, etc.

Just curious if that was you who has told me not to get those soft touch ones.

I'm sure if you are willing to do the leg work you could find one cheap.
