    Snowbear Trailers Suck

    I owned a Snowbear 4x8 for about 4 years. I abused the H#$L out of it for those years, I remodelled a house and a duplex using the trailer to haul many, MANY loads to the dump, and building supplies from Home Depot etc. I also hauled several loads of gravel, dirt, mulch etc. for my properties...

    Question for Canadians (Edmonton area) who works on your diesel?

    It's that last statement I'm trying to avoid, but I have terrible luck, so if anyone is to buy a bad vehicle, it's likely to be me... lolol

    Question for Canadians (Edmonton area) who works on your diesel?

    Thanks for the responses everyone. And Jason, I'm sure you know why I'm asking the question... ;) Curious as well, how much different (easier/harder) is working on their diesels compared to a normal gasser engine. Jeep Cherokee 4.0 is an example, since that's another vehicle I own and...

    Question for Canadians (Edmonton area) who works on your diesel?

    I've been thinking about picking up a JDM/RHD 80-series with the diesel and I'm curious if you ever have trouble finding a reputable shop to work on the engine/tranny if there are any issues?

    TLC Newbie -- what are "BEB's"???

    I'm going to look at an imported '80 diesel tomorrow, and i need to know what to look for. I'm "fairly" confident that the vehicle is in good shape because it's owned by the importer himself, and my company sells his business tires, so i don't think he'll kill me on the price... But i have...

    poor diesel mileage

    I think your calculations might be off a bit... Granted, i don't have a whole lot of faith in Pontiac/GM, the computer in my Pontiac Torrent equates 11~ litres/100km into about 22 mpg. So, if you're calculating 9.0 L/100km you're getting significantly better than 22 mpg. Good for you in any...

    Tow capacity?

    Well, whatever trailer i end up with sill have electric brakes on it, i'll probably opt for brakes on both axles actually. That way, if the brakes ever get soft on the LC, i can use the trailer to stop itself and the tow vehicle. :D I stopped by a couple RV dealers on my way home from work...

    Which 255/85/16 is best for Expedition?

    Some thoughts on the new BFG KM2 that is sort-of out, will be coming out in more sizes later... They are more aggressive than the previous model KM. The tread pattern is a slight blend between the KM and the Krawler tire that is/was meant for offroad only purposes. To be honest, i used to run...

    Tow capacity?

    Thanks jason! And how did you get in here? I thought they had stricter rules around here to keep the ruffians away. lol

    Tow capacity?

    Cool, that helps. I've got an offroad buggy that i'll need to tow around, it weighs approx. 3000 pounds, add the weight of the trailer, and i'm approaching the max limit. As long as the diesel can pull as much or more than the gasser (which seems reasonable) then i'll be ok.

    Tow capacity?

    I posted this in the 80 tech section, but what would the factory rated tow capacity of a 92/93 80 series diesel be? I'm looking into getting an import and just seeing if it will tow what i need it to tow. :)

    Tow capacity?

    Hi, I did quickly look through the FAQ but couldn't find this topic listed. I'm looking at getting an imported '92 (or '93) diesel cruiser, but i want to know how much it was rated to tow from the factory. Any ideas?
