Hey their careyk,

Now your weather up their brings a whole new meaning to the term cold for sure! I swear, I could be standing out in the cold, snowing, freezing so bad I couldn't feel my cheeks after being out for more than bout 5 minutes while fueling my Truck, and some old old boy from up your direction comes rolling up in a T Shirt, and Shorts! LOL!!!

I have been up to Alberta many a cold Winters day, and that is just a bone chilling cold! In fact, I still have my big old Blizzard Suit, Rubber Boots, Gloves, and Genuine Fuzzy Wisconsin Ice Fishing Hat still sitting in my closet that I used to wear so I wouldn't freeze my you know what off out their in that cold stuff! The only part of going up to Canada by Truck I never got used to was the huge process to cross the Border as we had to get all of the required export papers, hire a Broker, if we were hauling anything like Fruit, then we may be subject to having all of the product offloaded, and inspected, and then once we got to our delivery, we were not allowed to touch any freight under Canadian Law. Instead, all freight had to be handled directly by the receiving company. Then we had to repeat the process of proper paperwork, and actually had to pay $5.00 every time we re-entered the US even when empty! Just a long process, but otherwise, I have to admit all that snow really does make for some nice green scenery in the warmer seasons!

Oh, just for the all time record, the coldest I have ever been in personally was Bizmark North Dakota, New Years Eve, 2003, at a hole in the wall Truck Stop, when it was -40 below! Way too cold for the Cali Boy!!!!

Take er easy!

Candyman

I couldn't agree more with Candyman. Us Pacific boys try to stay away from them snow. I'll be fine paying a little extra for goods while staying the hell warm. Ima little girl when it goes below 60! Lol

808...mines not lowered, but the running boards and rear bumper seem to give it that effect:

Hey BigRyan,

The biggest thing with yours that makes them 18/20's look so sweet is the Air Ride! Mine is pretty close to that in the front, but your back end is exactly the tuck I want! My big dilemma is without the air to adjust, that if I went with the 18/20 Combo, I would either have to put a size bigger tire in front which kills the look for me, or let my ride sit that 2" lower in front with the staggered wheel size which would blow my level look I got now. Which is why I really wish I could find a good 19/20 Combo to get that tuck in the rear while minimizing the rake as much as possible. At least till I get around to looking into bags. Then I would probably go ahead and do 20"s all around. Just cant fir that extra inch in front the way it sits now, which is why I am most likely going ahead with just re-surfacing my wheels for now, and do it the way I want it when I get the means to do it right!

Your ride sits perfect though, and I can appreciate the work that went into getting your it to lay out like that!

Candyman
