Except, you must mean, at break up when all the tanker trucks are stuck belly deep in slick muck on a road wide enough for a unicycle.

That's in the Peace Country, the rest of the province has to deal mostly with logging trucks. The Best thing about BC is the terrain is different in every area, you got the mud in the Peace, the huge mountains near the coast (Oh and the ocean) and in the kootenys with mainly rock and gravel, and just for kicks you got the desert in the middle south. BC is kick ass! But then this is the only place I know, other places can be just as cool.

Wish we could have gotten toghether Wayne. Next time.

 

[crushers]

ditto, no web access so i couldn't bring up your phone number...
we will be back down, i have land to buy and a shop to build so i will be down for a bit next time...
cheers

 

[Eric Winkworth]

where about are you building a shop wayne? You plan on moving?

 

[crushers]

no definate plans at this point but we need a storage area in Ontario for trucks, we could rent but that just doesn't make any sense since i can build a building cheaper than renting for a year...
cheers

 

[Eric Winkworth]

I know what you mean, I've never liked renting, seems like you are just flushing money down the toilet! On the other hand you gotta spend money to make money. I hope everything works out for ya, I definitaly will continue to get things I need, from you, as much as possible anyway.

You wouldn't happen to have a nice rear licence plate light hood kicking aroud would ya? Mine has been painted and is pretty rotten underneath, I'm of cousre still interested in a reconditioned oil pan also.

I'm slowly getting the cruiser ready for the winter, I put in a new sliding window frame, rubber and sash, and some weather stripping, I was amazed at how easy it was to do, I love having a truck that was made to be worked on. I just wish Toyota's prices were a little cheaper, but I think every dealers like that, I'm just not used to buying factory parts.

cheers

or end in Panamá .. mud wheeling guaranteed ..

Before I get too old I am going to make it to panama and costa rica
on my cruiser.. the only problem is my wife she just won't do it..

Anyone wants to trade ? she's in good shape 1 camel and a diesel bj40

no seriously I am trying to convince her to make the trip we live in NY
and this would be a major trip. I really want to spend a few years in Costarica
but I want to see central america in general.
I already made a long trip from Italy 15 years ago.. I came here on vacation and still here this trip to central america can be my final
unfortunately having a 5 YO kid doesn't help

Let me know if you still need storage and for how many trucks. You can PM me or call my cell and I can email you pictures of the space I have available.

For sure .. !

right Now in CR the 95 oct price around 4 USD are very impresive to me, but here in Panamá no much diferent with 3.45 USD gal.

Anycase you can rent a diesel SUV .. as Pathfinder, Prado or some like this.

I'd rather walk than rent a pathfinder

Ditto here.

We took a 3 week surf trip down there (CR) last summer and it was great. I would love to take a cruiser down there and explore Nicaragua and Panama also. Lots of good surf in Panama. (or so I've been told)

My 12 year old son is taking Spanish in jr. high right now so hopefully he could make up for my lame Spanish skills.
