Not much snow in Winterpeg compared to here. Must be nice.
Still 20" on the ground in my neck of the woods.

Yeah those stock tires suck. I have been out a few times and got stuck everytime except once. I wish we didn't have alot of snow and I would be going out too.

Don't all rangers come with skid plates?

i dont think skid plates are expensive anyway. but i want more snow i didnt get to do much snowmobiling this year. winterpeg went over a month with only getting 2cm of snow. thats ok though if there was more snow i wouldnt be able to go and play in as many places.

He's in Canada, they use kilometers there, not miles. He means 124 kilometers.

I started wheeling my 2WD truck stock, lol. I remember those days. She's changed some now though.

Your name reminds me of a wheeling buddy named Neil: he was lilbluefx4.

Nice pics, enjoy your wheeling!

A Canadian invasion? I thought that was an oxymoron?
