Casey
We in Manitoba are actually the geographic center of Canada (and for that matter North America,) so we should technically be central Canada. However, since the universe theoretically circles around a certain un-named Canadian city which contains the CN tower, we are therefore relegated to being the start of Western Canada.

Not sure the status of BC these days. It has started leaning very left, and with a few more of those earthquakes you guys have been getting, may break off altogether and float away.

And yes, Jeep picking in these provinces is very good, however Easterners should note that they require a permit from Prairie Command to either purchase, transport, or even advertise or solicit for military hardware anywhere West of Thunder Bay Ontario.

The 53 I just sold was 53-33205 and had US data plates. But so worn as to be unreadable. Of course no history as it has been wiped out.

It was OK. You should have bought it.

I have since procured said jeep and now rests in my stable with the rest of the "fleet"
As it turns out, this jeep is actually more salvageable than first thought.
I guess sellers really should drag things out into the light of day, dust off all the crap and forgo the lawn and garden equipment, misc junk etc.
This one will be a keeper, its actually better now I can see it.
