    Thanks!! It's an "overland" store. We started out just renting RTT's from our basement suite, but now rent out RTT's as well as a bunch of other cool gear. We also have a store front with a lot of pretty sweet stuff for sale. Kind of a hybrid off road/camping shop. We also have a garage at the back to do installs and stuff on people's vehicles, like suspension, and custom electrical stuff and all that! It's a big adventure that we've just taken our first steps on!

    awesome! I wish you the best. I was busy all day with my new adventure, ripping up carpet in an apartment. I just bought a 3 family house so I'll be a first time landord

    Yes if this all could happen, it would be great! @Subway4X4 I think this will go in the record books for longest TW Express!!

    This is gonna be an epic TW Express if this happens.

    Need confirmation from @bayrak if he can still do this.

    BC -> Calgary -> Toronto

    We’ll have another east coast group to do
    Toronto -> NY -> PA

    I should be good -only problem right now is getting the shocks from Vancouver to the island. Currently looking at my options as I'm not sure if I can make it there myself as I have finals starting next Monday.

    My brother said he would be down ( Calgary to peterbrough), although there may be extra baggage charges which has fine with if that's covered.

    just have to work out logistics!

    I just need to get these to Toronto before the East Cost Canadians come to NY. I think this is where @bayrak will come in.

    You and WormSquirts are so close but so far!!! How would you get this to your brother? Who would pick up from WormSquirts ? Tbh, baggage charges might kill this deal. It might be more feasible IF wormsquirts would ship them to Toronto to either @Kemosabe or @Bocsy44 .

    Well let me know. I am game for whatever. I can look into shipping. Likely around $50-100

    Would be an epic train though

    I would give them to my brother in calgary. We're from there and both flying home for the holidays.

    If I can't get someone to bring them to the island, I could do a day trip over on the ferry and pick them up myself, although it's about 20 can each way plus 10 bucks in parking (driving across is 80 each way...). Worst case scenario going through me it's ~50 for ferry and like 50 for baggage ( if applicable, ~25 each flight, 1 from vic to Calgary, 1 Calgary to peterbrough).

    Like I said before, greyhound was 100can to ship from Peterborough to Victoria for my fox 2.5, came in about 1.5 weeks, and would be alor easier for me haha

    Edit: prices are also Canadian so take 30% off for prices in us

    You’re spinning @Redmann ’s head right now.

    He’s never tried to learn ANY Canada geography until now.

    By the time he gets these shocks and coils, he gonna be an expert.

    @Midknight @MattyJans @AnotherBlackTaco @Traegermaster @bravinci @OZ-T

    ok guys that I just tagged, the OP has parts that I want to buy. I could probably get them new and shipped for free, but this is kind of fun and it may save me some scratch in the end. The parts are located in Surrey BC. The goal is to get the parts over to Toronto to either @Kemosabe or @Bocsy44 From there, the parts will come down into NY State where @EatSleepTacos and @fatfurious2 will be meeting them. They are having an international Tacoma meet in NY State and also doing a decent length TW Express of skid plates to @Bocsy44

    We don't know when the international TW meet will happen. The skids have just been paid for last week and its about a 4-6 weeks lead time. figure on having about that much time to get this done.

    I looked a bit on the Canada sub-forum and tagged guys in the BC thread here. I hope someone can help out with this!! If you know some more Canadians going east, or know of a tried and true Canada TW Express, can you please tag those folks? At this point, I feel like we're going for a record for longest TW Express!

    Unfortunately I don't have any plans to head east towards Calgary, laying low at the homestead with the kids coming home from University. If I was heading that way I'd be up for helping out.

    Hey man, if I find anyone heading that way I will see if they can help out. I have no plans to head out that way myself though.

    Best of luck though :)
