Copy pasted from my intro thread

Hey Guys,

Had my truck for little over a year now and figured I would post a few pictures and introduce myself

Bought the truck when I moved up here to Yellowknife, NWT and done a couple road trips with it but nothing too crazy. I use my truck as a truck, so it has some dents and scratches.

"mods":
-spray in bedliner
-seat covers, with molle backing
-weathertech mats
-light bar and pod lights (not installed, just collecting dust)
-front windows tinted 35%

I had installed a contractors rack, but quickly decided it was stupid and sold it. Gonna get a buddy to weld me up a couple bars to mount a RTT when I eventually get one.


It was -40c out when I took this

I don't recommend doing this, it was scary and I drove 2000+ km's like this haha

And just tinted my front windows today, picked the perfect percentage for what I was looking for at 35%

Ordered some Duratracs in 285/70R17 to go on my stock rims, hopefully they don't rub. Probably going to order up some long john style mud flaps/fender flares.

Was going to get some MTR Kevlars but at $420 a tire when the Duratracs were on sale for $270 a tire.. Was hard to say no haha.

Got my tires mounted a couple weeks ago. It's so nice having traction this winter compared to last...

Today was a ****** day.

Got pulled over by Highway Patrol (the guys who handle the commercial vehicles) for speeding while I was driving end dump, for speeding. Gave me a speeding ticket and a ticket for no registration, boss will take care of the registration ticket.

Then, after dropping the rig off I was driving to the shop and got pulled over AGAIN by bylaw, for speeding.. She didn't care that I just got pulled over and wrote me another ticket!

So then as I was leaving the shop I plowed into the dumpster that was brought down the driveway for it to be collected.. Need a new drivers side fender, some Ram emblems, and probably paint on my door.

Today just wasn't my day... It's beer time.

Went out for a snowshoe on the lake today, drove out a little bit. I hate new trucks and the inability to turn off all the safety features
