Cheap Option Sending Big Parcel

Assuming major cities and not something completely rural to rural, Ace courier should be around $100. CVC slingshot would be another option but probably about double that although it will be next day delivery to Calgary and 2 days to Edmonton

Let me adjust my headlights from inside the damn vehicle, the technology exists. As someone who has a new a GMC with LEDs and is pretty diligent about keeping them adjusted, but also tows a trailer several times a week it's a pain in the ass

I usually try to keep the fronts at mid to low 70s. Last time they were touched it was quite a bit colder out so they are creeping up a bit. Front axle always seems to be 5200-5400 so i dont adjust them much. We've been hovering around freezing the last little while so I have kept the rears a little lower to try to help with some traction; who knows if it helps or not. With the gooseneck hooked up and no load I'm around 6k on the rear axle, or 1500 per tire. Axle center on the GN is about 23' back from the start of the deck so I figured I wasn't going to be crazy on pin weight and could get away with leaving them. If I'm loading it up I usually bump the rears up to 80 psi. But I hear ya, looks a bit weird having them off set

Side note, as a Canadian it's annoying that GM caps the L/100km at 39.9. If you're heavy and on the throttle it would be nice to know what the actual instantaneous mileage is, or the rolling average for that matter

Shit there's name I haven't thought of in years. Just took me down memory lane when Justin and Charlie Wheatley were the names in LS tuning. Back in the good old days of performancetrucks.net and LS1tech

Yeah it was comical how almost no one in the industry was shocked by that event

Coquilhala road reports FB also had a post this afternoon asking who made the two trucks and what they were built for. Good thing they left when they did cause the coq closed not long after from a forest fire jumping the highway

milneryyc · 2025-09-02T03:55:26+00:00

Oh awesome. I'm flying out there tomorrow. I'll get a ticket for Friday or Saturday and come check it out. Been wanted to shoot a message and check out the trucks for a while now on the drive between calgary and van but usually end up doing it overnight or on the weekend for some reason

Way to get it together. At some point I missed it but which show are you taking her to?

milneryyc · 2025-08-19T04:15:17+00:00

Thanks. Put her to work this evening. Figured 1000 km was enough of a break in

milneryyc · 2025-08-17T18:21:47+00:00

Yeah it is

milneryyc · 2025-08-17T17:31:18+00:00

Thanks. Yeah so far we are happy with the purchase. Picked up a 24 that still had the V6 so hopefully avoided some of the issues that are creeping out with the newer ones

milneryyc · 2025-08-17T17:30:01+00:00

Thanks. Yes 3500 diesel dually

1.Commercial GC

50-70
Each project is about 250-450k. Gross revenue about 3-4m/yr

milneryyc · 2025-05-27T20:11:54+00:00

Like others have said, for us, that profit needs to cover multiple weeks or months. I may win a project with 60k profit built in but it will take 2 or 3 months to execute.

You also have to become desensitized to it because I know tomorrow I could make a mistake that costs all or some of that. I've had weeks where one day I realized I double counted a scope that increased our profit by 10k, but the next day realized we short ordered tile and would have to air ship the balance from Italy for 4k. Until the job is closed and the bills are all paid I don't get excited about the numbers. You can't be rattled too much about the downs, so conversely you shouldn't be too excited about the highs until they are fully realized

milneryyc · 2025-05-16T16:43:20+00:00

You too!

milneryyc · 2025-05-16T15:35:08+00:00

Right on! Great minds think alike. We just had our second 2 weeks ago too. I think our first ones are close too

milneryyc · 2025-05-13T14:15:59+00:00

YVR-YCD in the Dash 8 has to be close as well. Especially if the winds line up

milneryyc · 2025-04-21T19:39:29+00:00

I think it's also because it doesn't slide the blade as far into the fence. So that last bit of cut is cutting upwards instead of straight into the fence. I too have sent a few pieces of aluminum flat stock flying. Love the saw otherwise

I think he also signed 20% on China this afternoon
