haha, I don't its all good we're just breaking balls.
I used to wheel a jeep but it was a bit different cause it was a winter beater that survived the winter that i didn't give a shit about to break. With the truck its also my daily so I'm a bit more cautious with it. but getting a lot more confident

 

Drive line related? If you have a go pro you should be able to isolate where the vibes are from. I run ko2's 265 70 17 on stock rims and get vibes at around the same speed but I have 1/2" - 3/4" play in my carrier bearing. Inland empire poly bearing going on sometime soon should fix that shit.... Plus 4.5" lift in the rear may lead to some other vibes...
Do you get the same thing in 4x4? (ecgs bushing to replace needle bearing)

 

Nothing like that, it’s the tire balancing. Everything is completely fine when I am using my snow/summer tires at any speed.

 

Hmmm.....
Well... If you wanna sell your ko2's let me know

 

Could honestly just be a bad tire or two. I've had it happen before. Just imperfections in the tire. Got a different one under warranty and it was fine

 

500km a tank on highway? Or city driving? Makes me realize my 2.7 likes to sip fuel more than I thought! I usually get 520-540km a tank but only city driving,
Giving between 12-12,5L/100km

 

you are correct sir! Edited above.

 

Both, probably more highway then city tho. I don't use the truck to get to work so its mostly the grocery getter during the week and well on weekends I head to the lake which is about an hour of highway then 30 minutes of back roads one way.

 

I see i see! Feel better now haha I cleaned my maf and TB this week, and I don't know if i am crazy but I feel a better response on the feeder and also less need to downshift uphill. I am glad I did it!

 

Anyone looking for a good set I seriously recommend these. Absolutely love mine.

 

Holler of ya need a recovery lol.

When is everyone down to do a fall colours run by the way? Do we want to camp or day run?

 

Camp, camp, camp! I am good for the Oct7/8 or Oct14/15 only. Ardbeg is only open till October 15th btw (according to the sign we pass every time).

 

changed my mind, gonna clean the underbody of the truck, get all that mud that's still there off.


I'm not sure when I'm going down to the states yet. But was planning on going this october to get my bed rack and visit some family in NY and NJ, so there will be one weekend I can't go. If we're camping I'd rather have the bed rack on for that trip but we'll see.

Need to find out when the girlfriend can go and when my uncle is back from italy so I can ship it to his place.

 

Anyone have input on this? Either way I'm happy lol.

 

cock

thinking end of october is better for me.

Ardbeg has a lot of evergreen though so won't have much for fall colours.
The ganaraska would be great for colours. Hopefully we can get to one of those trails up in bobcaygen area, should be good for colours.

 

Beginning of November works for me too

 

im game for what ever. I may only camp the Friday and donthe day run on the Saterday for the 14/15th weekend.

As for the November run, maybe some of us can scout those trails and plan a colour run for everyone.

If anyone wants to hit up arbdeg just to check it it is more than welcome as well.

 

Let's aim for the October 13/14/15 weekend for camping at Ardbeg and then we can do day run in Mid November for stock members, something pretty and not too challenging.

 

i work every second weekend and looks like im working the 14th, fingers crossed i can make the Nov trip. im off the 4th and 18th weekends in Nov.

 

Was cleaning under the truck and figured I'd get a quick video of the underbody
Just for those wondering about armour and what not.

Can see all the gouges and what not in my skids.
