Today I built and installed a stick stopper for the exposed right front cv joints, from 1/8 aluminum plate; and installed a 2" snorkel. While I had the rack off, I took the rear diff and gas tank vents to just inside the roof.

He did the locker while I did the brakes.. took us 3 hrs total to do it all.. including servicing/cleaning rear brakes and replace fronts. Now if that was being done at a shop I've seen some posts where they were charged 6-7 hrs labour.
I’ll be over and I’ll bring the rum. Haha. Good job.

I’ll be coming out to Alberta to go hunting next month. My buddies ranch and then a HUGE ranch the next week. One of the guys comes from BC every year. He owns a big roofing company. My buddy has a Ranger. I tried to tell him. Haha. You guys have to keep an extra eye out for Griz. I usually have a high power rifle with me. Haha. I know they are protected but I told my buddy if I see one and he looks at me sideways, he’s done. Haha. Have fun in the mountains. From the other coast.

Did my second oil change today, went a bit faster than the first, but I don't think it will ever be a speedy operation. Also changed the air filter. After 600+ miles in our superfine dust, the one I took out wasn't that bad on the outside and pristine on the inside. I was thinking of snorkeling it because of the dust, but I may not now.
Had a rattle at idle I thought was the heat shield on the muffler, but during the oil change I noticed that one of the bolts on the steel skid plate under the motor was loose. That was it. Just an FYI.

installed a KFI winch mount on the wifes Rancher 420, a pita getting holes to line up and had to cut some plastic trim. But do like the winch tucked inside. Took a ride in the P500 to relax after, local temps went from 90s to 60s in a few days.
Hi Mudder. I was at my camp in Cape Breton last weekend and it went down to 34 degrees. Brrr. But my good friend in Calgary already had 19 inches of snow last week. So 60 degrees sounds good. Haha Do you close the pool for the winter.

Pool stays open, gas heater if needed, but once colder, just like looking at it and the P500, from the hot tub. LOL. Hope for some snow to see how the Pioneer will do with the locker.
Love seeing our Canadian neighbors on here. It's also fun getting a glimpse of what our northern neighbors are out doing on their pioneers.

Hi Mudder. My buddy in Alberta has a hot tub in the house in a room made for it. It feels good coming in from hunting when it’s -25. Nice. And the Pioneer is pretty good with out a locker. But I’m going to get one. The bike ride up and over . That was in ‘15 I think. Haha . One year into another. Haha. Have a good winter. Something tells me yours is going to be better than mine. Haha

After reading the comments about removing the sway bar... today I removed the sway bar. Hope to try it out tomorrow.
