Ontario BS Thread

@NorilskSever if you want a pic text me to remind me otherwise you can just use it as a template

 

Fvck, I missed dibs on this one...dammit, 2nd and 3rd are interchangeable iirc...foiled !

 

No worries! That bpf would be the shit!!

Waiting for you to buy another set then!

 

Speaking of picture, still waiting for @Theicemedic Eric to send me that original of Evgene....

 

from what I heard it wouldn't fit, that's why my buddy sold me his TRD one cuz he had bought a 3rd gen but maybe he was wrong lol

 

most stuff is but some things are not so could be one of those that don't

 

I'm already looking for some hahaha have to wait tho cuz well money lol I'm thinking All Pro mostly because I could probably get it from 4wheelparts and just go pick it up in montreal

 

maybe through 4wp it will be ok, can't remember if you were with us when we were talking about it but Eugene for one is having problems with all pro and I've heard plenty of others report the same thing.

For what its worth the Mobtown ones are great.

 

Stay away from @allpro! they still owe me money - thief's.
go with @Mobtown Offroad

 

yeah I remember the discussion haha my only thing is shipping, I don't mind if it takes a while to get but I cant imagine it would be cheap to get steel skids shipped up here hahaha so I'm thinking I'm going to try my luck and hope the experience is alright since I would be going through 4wp

 

4wheelparts is a plus for us. As other stated, allpro doesn't seem to have a great reputation but you'll have 4wp to cover you in case of a problem.

 

you're in ottawa right?

check on Kinek.com see if there's a mailbox you can use in vermont or upstate NY.
Might be worth while to do the drive.

Thats what I do for most of my stuff it just goes to Niagara Falls NY.

 

I will certainly look into it when the time comes, thanks!

 

Can hear the white AC's compressor running for his air lockers.....

My wife loved what I got her from the hock shop Now she says its to fragile and only wants to wear it for dress up fancy occasions.

She is now on board with my ring type, silicone for $30 can not go wrong. We have 2 matching pairs, she loves that we can match them up and be a team lol.

We have a stone grey set, and a snow set. https://groovelife.co/

 

It seems to be somewhat hit or miss with All Pro for customer service. The only real problem I had with ordering all my armor, was they sent the wrong sliders the 1st time, took 2 weeks to get me the correct ones.

Almost all my armor is All Pro, IFS skid, trans, tcase, sliders. Only peice I have that is not All Pro is my lower control arm skids, they are Total Chaos. I went will full All Pro armor to ensure it would all fit perfect together. I did not want to get into something like my sliders and some skid over lapping at a mount point and fucking me over.

 

Really? I took a stock rental JKU Sahara (it had 32" Dueler ATs) to Bobcaygen on a day trip a year ago. Deepest water I saw was to the rocker panels. Maybe I missed the hard parts?

 

For reference my BudBuilt skids cost $300 shipping by FedEx Ground to my door (4 boxes). If you order from 4WP, you are still paying for shipping from the mfr to 4WP, plus 4WP's retail markup.

 

Is budbuilt in Canada? I dont see how they could ship 4 boxes of metal skids for $100.

From the Budbuilt website;
"This 5 piece combo weighs 199 pounds in 3/16 steel, 116 pounds in aluminum, and 126 pounds in Lite steel."

Mobtown quoted me $200 shipping for just the front tow bar that @NorilskSever has.

 

I did the Concession Lake trail this past summer. It is doable with 33s and a 2.5"-3" lift. You will still hear some nice bangs towards the back of the truck with our longer wheelbase. In particular there is a blind climb and drop that caused a small ding in my rear bumper towards the end of the trail. This obstacle had no bypass.

The biggest issue this past summer was the water. There are some very deep sections where my snorkel was definitely used.

Most of the deep water had a bypass but even the bypasses looked a bit sketchy so I just dove into the water

FYI, this trail could look completely different now or the next time it is used. Regardless I would certainly do this trail again.

This trail is a very good gauge of our Tacoma's capabilities.
