Ontario BS Thread

oh shit yeah that got moved up the list real quick, right after leaving the camp site haha

 

I spent about 6 hours maybe more today detailing.
cleaned the inside
wash and wax (colinite super double coat) the whole body.
wash the undercarriage
took off each wheel and cleaned each shock, waxed each one (Fox recommends this) then krown rust proof and lube coated each one, plus the UCAs and rear dakars. Actually managed to get rid of my squeak from the rear dakars.


For damage, just scratches on the rear diff and skids.
slight dent to the chasis where the LCAs mount on passenger side
now all four of my wheels are scratched up pretty bad but oh well.

 

Do the ceramic pro for your truck, you won't ever need to detail truck after. I power wash mine and it always looks shiny after.

 

meh. I like doing it.
it only took so long today cause I did all the suspension too

 

Went to rotate tires today and pressure wash all the suspension to get some squeaks out hopefully while i did it.

Well this happened on the first wheel. Anyone ever have this?

Lugnut broke in half, half on the stud still.

 

well that's a new one. Never heard of a nut breaking. plenty of lugs though.

 

Anyone down to do a day run this weekend?

 

I'm heading to ganaraska...if anyone is interested

 

That LT taco...thats the one Ski built...owner is the same as the SAS FJ no?

 

I was more so thinking minden...
after all the cleaning I did I don't want any mud.

 

I haven't had it happen to me while I was working on my truck but the shop that installed my tires broke a lug. They also broke a lug back when I had my Jimmy. Too bad it didn't happen before Ardbeg I could have given u one lol i replaced all mine

 

But did they mention how they got it out? My first bet was to put another lug on and tighten it till it snapped the stud and do it that way. But not enough thread to get another started

 

anyone heading to or passing by Belleville any time soon? I bought taczilla's roof rack basket

 

is there no more lug remaining that the socket can get onto?


Jesus fuck how are you guys tightening these lugs that they are snapping haha. I've never had an issue with mine snapping.

 

i prolly shouldnt hang with you guys till i get some sliders n skids

 

plenty of guys there had no skids or sliders lol.

 

Lol...gotta pick your fun ...

Is the roof rack disassembled? If so, ill be in Whitby this weekend, likely to 115 if ya can talk @taczilla to get them that far, i can hump em down to hamtown weekend of 28th.

Also, they gotta fit in the back of a 99 4runner with seats down. It's what I'm rolling in this week and next

 

Hahahaha yeah I'm buying skids for sure. That's the only thing I wish I had for sure

 

OHHH MANN thats crazy. What a shitty thing to have happen.

Check online, ive seen these sockets you can buy that have spikes in them. You spin them onto the bolt and the teeth/spikes dig into the metal. As you loosen the socket, the teeth dig in further and rip the nut off the stud without damaging any of the threads on the stud. I believe they are made for removing wheel nut locks where the key to the nut has been lost. Dont know the specific name though. Maybe just try a google/ebay search

 

I was going over the pictures form ardbeg and I gotta say youre right... the scenery there was just fantastic. It didnt really hit me how beautiful the whole run was until I got back to toronto
