Ontario BS Thread

all mine are going on a second battery .

 

thought so. So ill need to plan my engine bay accordingly in order count for that. Just have the winch and lightbar on it for now
MOAR RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING PARTS

 

you could do it without it just depends what your whole plan is.

if you want to run them without truck running, all at the same time.
you could run into drainage issues.
It also depends on the quality of lights.

Mine are IggyCorp from a group buy here. They aren't baja designs grade, but they aren't cali raised or cheap chinese Amazon/ebay lights.
So they will have a decent power draw.

 

Chances are ill have the truck running if i wanna flood the area with light. The lights i will end up using while truck are off for camp will be sourced off the deep cell battery(ies), supplied by solar.

my lightbar has this draw...i think

• LED Power: 240W and 19200 lumens
• Beam Pattern: 90*/8*
• Operating Voltage: 10-30V DC
• Waterproof Rating: IP67
• Housing Color: Black
• Polycarbonate Lens (PC)
• Heavy duty extruded aluminum housing, heat sinks, and brackets
• HP1 wiring harness required
• 50000 hours LED life
• Size: 41.45" x 3.08" x 3.41"
• Lifetime Warranty
• 30-Day Money Back Guarantee

Winch needs a: Recommended Battery: 650CCA Minimum for Winching

So i think im pretty good

 

Jerky? How so?

 

I think something was wrong with the front diff. It felt wrong. 4x4 would engage and it felt almost like when your trying to turn on pavement with 4x4 on, driving in a perfectly straight line.

 

What price where they asking?

 

Way too much, 19k. Even with all the extra shit I wouldn't have paid more than 15. Windsor is small, a fellow contractor knows who it was bought from for 10k.

 

Offer 12.5...its low km. Worst is ya walk away

 

Worst is I'm stuck with a FJ that needs a new front diff...

 

Get a second opinion

 

How does the 3 leaf AAL holds up btw, any sag at the back, you running any bump stops or just stock ones?
I want to remove overload leaf for more flex, won't be towing or carrying anything past max gvwr

 

It'll go flat like all oem. Unless there is some upgrade with leafs on the 3rd gen

 

Yeah, it's a 2 year bandaid I am doing for now, but wonder how long will it take to sag without overload in.

 

It's still just as good as when I put it on. Didn't do anything with the bump stops. And I have my overload springs removed. I've even towed a loaded double wide snowmobile trailer a few times, did just fine minus the 19L/100km. lol

 

Hasn't been done yet but prob over the summer.
I was thinking about doing it and offering the flash service for those interested depending on OV's response to my question about becoming a distributor in Ontario for them

 

I will when I put that sexy bumper on

 

Sounds like you got a lot planned hope to see you on the trails this summer

 

oh i'm sure I'll be at a few

 

Found this on youtube, it shows a bit of the recovery following budy losing his axle @ 2:35 Be warned, tacomas where hurt during filming of this video. And you will have nightmares. And maybe cry a little.
