A/T Tire: Nokian Outpost

[Giorgio_Rampa]

I actually don't recognize the background haha! But I think I saw your truck a few weeks before I got mine, you can spot the blue from a mile away!

The salt doesn't get caught up between mudguards and the body?
I was thinking of putting some, but I don't want salt build up, then it will lead to rust...

How much were the Mopar ones?

The truck will shine in the spring/summer lol!
Too cold to wash it

haha! its possible theres only 2 or 3 blue warlocks that ive seen often in this area.
the middle two are taken at poste dorion HQ after my rustproofing at your local krown (rue chicoine - highly recommend)
the other 2 are are on the other side of the barrage les cedres

to be honest its possible to have some abrasives temporarily stuck in there but ill take my chances vs the 100% probability forecast of sand and salt showers with rock chips in the mix for fun!

good rustproofing habits and regular washing are your best bet for keeping rust at bay! i prefer the krown product and the people that do it in vaudreuil are really professional and run a good business. and the price is good
the product does drip a bit after application be warned but its worth it with its great penetrating/creeping qualities

the mopar flaps are probably around 50 tp 75 each set but if youre paying for them out of your pocket do your research for best bang for the buck, ease of installation et cetra
the mopar ones screw/push pin into the existing holes

I didn't even know that there was a Krown in the area, I've been going to St-Jean (West Island) for my other cars.
Krown is great!

If I get them, I'll get the Mopar ones, I don't want to drill any new holes.
I'll start shopping around with them, it's that or a 3M protector to prevent any stone chips.

a little late to reply to this one. I have those tires and found they really suck in snow. Usually i do not have to use 4x4 in the winter unless its deep or im on a lick uphill trying to get moving. This year with these tires i had to use it just about every time to get rolling.
Also was not impressed with the local Kal tire that installed them. They messed up my alignment 3x causing a fair amount of wear and i ended up paying for the difference in tires and installation for 2 tires and not the 4 that we damaged. Last set of tires i get from them ill go back to the Canadian tire brand of tires that were great and long wearing or go to BFG's

I drove it in a light snow fall and the truck was sliding in 2WD... I think I'll get a dedicated winter set (probably studded tires).

They look amazing though haha!
