Howdy from BC Canada
Another one of the bc4x4 boys
Currently running an '09 FX4 Ranger - 4.0L auto 4x4 on 31x10.5/15 BFG KM2s & 15x7" AR767s, airbags in the rear and 1" torsion bar crank in the front, 1 CFM 12v Firestone compressor w/ 0.5gal tank with tire chuck, receiver hitches for the M8000 winch on the front and rear (and power cables), leather interior, 6 disc CD Audiophile stereo and Sirius sat radio, D34/78 yellowtop Optima, 31 spline 8.8 w/ Torsen & 4.10s, 750w inverter, Icom 2100H HAM VHF, Cobra 18 CB, Garmin Nuvi 255w GPS w/ Western Canada Tops, lots of mapbooks and topos, rear jumpseats removed for extra storage, built purely for camping (and work). Pretty friggin' cool for a daily driver eh! Getting around 15 mpg in its current state (16 gal per 250 miles approx/60L per 400km), which ain't bad considering it weighs about 6000 lbs, 7500 lbs with ATV/trailer (drops to 11-12 mpg @ 50-55 mph).
Got a 1972 6' import camper on the back - 8500 btu propane furnace, 3 way Dometic fridge (I run it on 120v), 34" wide bed, TONS of storage space, Exide purple haze deep cycle battery, 3 burner stove, 1100w microwave, 2000w Honeywell inverter generator, Stihl 180 chainsaw and my good ol' trusty fold-up camp chair. Roof's been sealed in with Ducan rubberized deck coating.
It [very begrudgingly] pulls my '07 Yamaha Grizzly 700 FI EPS on a 7.5' snowbear customized utility trailer - 3/4" treated plywood lined walls, 205/14 tires, LED taillights. Yup, thats it. I live in it for usually 3 or 4 days at a time at work, vacation/sick relief guy at work so my shifts get downright chaotic. Makes my life a lot simpler and easier being able to keep a flexible schedule/lifestyle, and the company I work for treats me like gold so its worth it. Enjoy:

Nope, not no more! Quit long haul last year, now a union slave for Seaspan/WMG. Running hostler truck for them, a year now. Been happy, nice making decent money doing sweet F all Sure beats working for a living! Only drag is that the hours suck, and we're a 24/7 operation so I'm on call 5 days a week and work solid throughout the weekends. Going back full time next week, 5am - 1 pm and I like that shift so I'm happy with that. Cheers

Could be. All I know is that I bought it from Micheal (230 on bc4x4) in Princeton, and apparently he bought it from a guy in Penticton IIRC. It very well might have come up from the coast, who knows. I like it though... but if I find a 13 - 14' Boler-style trailer I might put it up for sale. LR
