hey

Post by musherman »

Hi all im new here so i thought i would intro myself.

I live in dunners and recntly bought a 2000 ford courier doudlecab flat deck for my business but it will also double as a fun vehicle for me plus if you hadnt guessed by my username i am into sleddog racing and the courier will help me get to the hard to reach areas to train my team on the snow.

I have had it a week and already put on some bigger steel wheels and now looking for some decent mud tyres that are reasonbly quiet on the open road as i travel alot, suggestions welcome,

will try to post some pics of the truck tomorrow.

Cheers

Musherman.

Welcome to of road express, sled dog racing? Your the first person I've heard of over here doing that, interesting.
I would recommend a kumho KL-71, good value, good on the road, tend to fill up quickly in muddy conditions but otherwise alright offroad.
