I drove from Calgary to Grande Praire yesterday, only saw a few flakes. Little rain. Drove from GP to Taylor to Chetwan, still nothing here. Must have missed the snow somewhere along this trip. Luck I left when I did, might even broke my record from Airdrie to GP. 6 1/2hrs, on cruise most of the trip.
You guys enjoy the snow, down there eh..

I was just about to pull the trigger on REVO 2's but the price has gone up recently. I went with what I have always got, BFG ATKO only this time they are the E rated version instead of the D. The FROD dealer in Lacombe has the best deal, all 4 installed for $1050 with tax.
. It snow here all day, warmed up to -13 deg's C. Still nothing for snow. Spent the day fixing Dresser stuff today.

Sitting at about 12 inches here at my place just North of Sundre.
Had to run into Calgary to Foothills Hospital today. I was there for exactly 15 minutes, drove straight there and back, no stops. Trip took 7 hours because of road conditions, and traffic. Sucked big time!

LM1600/GT60 and some old IR compressor housing and a new dresser inner's. Kinda a cobbled together unque stuff. Did tons of GT-60 work back in the early 90's, back when I had hair.
Dog, you running the 265 on yours? I'm running 285/75R16. Priced out a set of wheels from tirerack for around $1250. 17in is around $1600, 18's over $2k.

These BFG KM2(255/80/r17)work pretty good in the deep stuff---typical mud tire traits on pack snow/ice as there is no sipping but were about the same as the Generals that she came with.I just have to adjust to the road conditions-----but i did wander around the back alley's/ditches that had some 1-1/2 foot virgin drifts and in 2 high i was able to keep moving most of the time,4 high and no problem.Last year i buried it up to the boards at the lake property and she just sat and spun with the stock tire
--out came the shovel, so these are working better---------so far as dually's are known to suck 4x4ing.
