If you didn't notice in the pic, I'm parked on a fresh blanket of snow. Lol.Congrats and watch out for the snow....by the way where in NO are you?
Yeah I noticed the snow I was trying to be funny... obviously not very successfully. I have a cottage up near the Sault. Cheers and have fun!If you didn't notice in the pic, I'm parked on a fresh blanket of snow. Lol.
I'm located in Sudbury. Yourself?
Just around the corner from TX. Lol.Yeah I noticed the snow I was trying to be funny... obviously not very successfully. I have a cottage up near the Sault. Cheers and have fun!
I'm following the break in accordingly, but it's very tempting to stomp on the throttle. I've been keeping it under 50% throttle per oem (realistically, I've kept it to 25-30%), and even at that it's such a tease! I have to take a road trip, otherwise City driving is going to take too long and feel torturous.Gotta know how it handles the snow once you manage to get through the break in. Congrats
Thanks. I went with the beadlock not because I planned on needing it, but because It's a nice contrast with the black.Congrats. Looks amazing. Black with the beadlocks wheels looks really sick.
Yeah it has been a bummer.... 1st summer I missed in over 50yrs. It’s a nice 30 hr drive each way... Hopefully we can get this COVID thing behind us sooner than later. I’m jealous but happy you got your truck. Have Fun and Enjoy.Just around the corner from TX. Lol.
I suppose you haven't been there in close to a year due to C-19?
This has been a mild winter. This past week has truly been the first cold week since the season began. We're a month behind schedule when it comes to lake ice conditions.
I've been to all but one continent, but I can't say that I've ever driven 30 hours one way. That's a lot of driving. You obviously Enjoy it. With the right radar in your TRX, you might shave 6 hours from your next trip. LolYeah it has been a bummer.... 1st summer I missed in over 50yrs. It’s a nice 30 hr drive each way...

I have full intentions on enjoying it. Thank You!
Easier said than done, but the less you think about when you're truck will arrive, the less drawn out it'll feel. (Says the guy who just took delivery of his today.) Lo
Thanks. Your assumption had a 50% probability of being right.Congratulations from Stratford Ontario. I assume you work in the mines lol.
Hey do you know how long it took from D1 until you took delivery?
34 years ago I was a 6 year old kid playing In the sand with trucks, Tonka Trucks. Now it's the real deal!34 years ago I got my 1st speeding ticket just outside Sudbury. Good times.
Well, my opinion is only based on an hour of exposure time and a whole 65 km's.How is fit and finish? Build quality? Tactical feel of controls? Motor sound tight? Any noises. Ride?
I performed a search for break-in and nothing popped up explicitly listing what it is. Would you mind sharing so I can mentally prepare myself? I wish there was a $500 option with every toy I buy to have it broke in on a factory load generator or something... painful process but worth it.I'm following the break in accordingly, but it's very tempting to stomp on the throttle.

There you go, sir!I performed a search for break-in and nothing popped up explicitly listing what it is. Would you mind sharing so I can mentally prepare myself?

Very true, thanks!There you go, sir!
I hear you about the $500.00 option. However, if it's any consolation, by you performing the break in, it allows an opportunity to smell the rose, so to speak. You're traveling slow enough that you can take time to appreciate and learn the finer details of what the truck has to offer. Otherwise, you'd hammer down on it and not give a $hit about those features. Lol
Interesting, it doesn't say to vary speed like all other break-ins I've seen for the first 300 miles. So get on the highway and we will be good? Any heat cycles like on powersports toys (after first start let it completely cool, after 30 minutes let completely cool).There you go, sir!
