Ontario BS Thread

So if Eugene wants to go flood his truck again somehow we don't need to join right?

 

Water is still warm! It'll dry out.

 

brooo
weather is calling for 32 with humidity up in fenelon

 

Lol you weren't bugging me. I got my deflator and pump too.

 

I'll bring my swimming shorts with me in case I flood my truck again.

 

Also, heads up with the @allpro customer service - it's Sh1t!
I got in touch in July with Tracy about my bed bars that she promised to ship right away when I ordered them. Then she BS me about delay etc. (another 4 weeks). Ended up making them myself. After that we agreed on a refund, that was in the first week of August. It is mid September and I still didn't get the refund. Emailed them many times and all I get is " our computers down, we will get back to you tomorrow". No follow up after...

As someone who works in logistics industry and deals with shipping and deliveries everyday this is unacceptable. lol

So, yeah, stay away from them I guess.

 

That sucks, I was looking a getting a bed rack from them. I guess I should look elsewhere

 

Look into kB Voodoo. I haven't ordered yet but talked to him and he seems really good. Always quick replies and very helpful. I'll be ordering in a few weeks

 

Could order from 4wheel parts to avoid the issue. They seem to be pretty good with everything.

 

You're not the first I've heard this from. Likely won't be the last

 

Was at Ganaraska in 2013. I just pulled to the side when I see dirt bikes and ATVs (since they move a lot faster). Got a thumbs-up or a wave from most of them lol. I think the biggest risk to our trucks is pinstriping from the narrower trails.

Middle pic is a sand bowl meant for dirt bikes. Note the shitty 245 snow tires I was running at the time.

Room for one more?

 

My experience with ordering All-Pro items from 4WheelParts (nee National4WD in Burlington): the delays were still there, but prices are higher... The good thing though is 4WheelParts takes care of all the cross-border shipping with pallet freight for larger items.

 

My ole lady says today....(while I'm wrenching on the air dam) "If you are removing the mud flaps and air dam, are we gonna get the truck all scratched up from tree branches and the like...??" I said "I don't know...never been there"...

So, to make her happy..... Can we escape the pin stripes and bent metal..?? A bunch of dirt is OK, but not paint damage..!!

Have any of you guys been there..? What should we expect..?

Thanx.... John

-Boundary road
-Hogs back
-Wild turkey road


Some are meeting off of the 401 and convoying up to the forest. Let us know if you are doing this so we can wait for you.

meeting here at 8:10am on the saturday

google maps says its a 40 min drive from the mcdonald's to the Ganaskara forest. So if we meet there at 8:10am (very latest) it at the mcdonalds it will give us 10 mins of wiggle room. There is gas stations on the way to the forest off of the 115 if i remember correctly but we can gas up there worst case.

I have called and left a message as we are 9, so I will book a permit or what not. I will let you guys know price prior to doing anything, but assuming its $30 per vehicle what would be the max per person? $35? $40? Im thinking it should be cheaper but who knows with these conservation people.

added ya

see @KenLyns post above. May just be minor scratches that buff out worst case. We will try to stay off the ATV trails as they are a lot tighter, and for the trail limos they are very difficult to make the tight corners.

 

Good stuff... see ya'll tomorrow...!!

John & Marianne
