Ontario BS Thread

Yeah I was in the area.Small world.

 

Sick setup man, very very nice

 

Says the guy with the large roto packs style gas can in the back ground

I agree with that sunwing awning, that thing looks like the best option. No poles and shit to get in the way, great design to model after!

That rack setup looks awesome. You made it all yourself, just amazing

This is my CAD drawing for my rack setup, cost a bunch to get this from an engineering firm, just in the initial conceptual stages right now.

 

Speaking of fuel mileage. Here's what I get pretty well on average driving from Barrie to Petawawa with my 285's.

 

Not sure if the computer with bigger tires calculates it right and you live in the area where no stop-go traffic every 5 seconds that's not fair

 

Sounds like a personal problem. lol

 

All these TuRD gen dash shots. Makes me like mine all that much more.

I have to do things the hard way and just reset 'trip meter A' each time I gas up and look at 2 numbers, Liters put in and the # on trip A. Size of my tires gets taken into the 'science' and it does not matter lol.

 

On the contrary I like all bells and whistles now, oh well millennials...

Although I am missing fancy tire pressure monitor like Joe has, but that's good, can run 5 wheels then all around.

 

I still can
Found out today only issue will be need to keep the spare towards the back.

As it picked up all my pressures with them in the bed.

So I can rotate them in easily.

 

And they're on.

Body mount cut and had suspension raised 1" more.
They now fit just need to trim some more plastic and I'm good . But still had to beat pinch weld

 

There's no way for the computer to account for the bigger tires, so you will have to multiply the displayed mileage with the tire dia. ratio.

I'm more curious how the truck measures the amount of fuel used in real time. AFAIK there's no flow meter in the fuel system. If it counts injector pulse duration, then the error could be huge, because the fuel injected each time is measured in picoliters.

 

Wow! I'm doing 14.7 with my hemi.

 

Just saw this post, have you done something about it?

My gf's white car does the same, it is brake powder that stick on the clear coat and then rust. I wash it with spray nince maybe twice a year to get rid of it. I use a soft car sponge with the "rough" side to get rid of it. After using spray nine on your paint you have to rinse well tho

 

Nevr-Dull gets rid of it as well.

I used this clay bar to massage areas with the rail dust and other dirt:

after that I applied this wet wax and the truck is freaking shiny now and feels like a perfect mirror when I touch the paint.

Thinking about applying ceramic layer at home, for the front area, this truck is not aerodynamic and I get more rocks flying into me vs 2nd gen.

 

As @Norilsk suggested, the space in the back for the fridge will be tight. The 51 Quart ARB will fit says the mock up!

This mockup is 1 inch bigger in all dimensions than the actual fridge, so we should be great.

This is with the seat in the full rear locked position, and the back in the position my wife sits in.

Going to get the rear seatbelts removed in a few minutes.

 

Love cardboard mock-up! Amazon for the win lol

 

Yep, it'll be tight, I abandoned that idea, since I do have passengers at the back occasionally.

How much space is there on the other side?
