Spotted the other night nearish Main St & 12th Ave. Looked well kitted and in good shape.

Thanks, grey ones mine :)

Spotted a nice ex MOD green one on 17th/manitoba tho.
Looked like a very capable radio truck, with mast and everything.

Hi Ashek,

Good to hear your 110 is now on the road in BC, how was the import & BC inspection, did it go well?

The green MOD radio truck you saw, was it the one here in the center?

Hi Ashek,

Nice! Once I find time to get down to City Hall during their sad business hours to get a parking permit - my 90 will be in the area too!

Indeed, it was the same truck. Looks pretty sweet, to be honest.
Is the winch/bumper OEM or aftermarket? (looking for such a setup myself).

How far up does the tele-mast go? ever get commandeered for SAR radio relay work by any chance? ;)

Import to BC was less of an issue than I expected.
Got initially inspected in Montreal, they just gazed inside the container to make sure it wasn't covered in mud, and sent it on to BC.

Had to get headlamps changed/realigned, some minor repairs done, and window tint removed. Other than that, after doing all the relevant research, it seemed like I knew more about the process then the insurance folks.

Green 110 with antenna

Ashek,

Good to hear the BC inspection went well. I think a lot depends on who you get and where you go...

The green 110 belongs to Kris, I believe he custom made his own front winch bumper.
The antenna set up he has seems to work great, he was talking to vancouver from the North West Territory last August :shock:

Im sure he would be happy to give you more info on it if you wanted some pointers...

Cheers, Andy
