Hell ya. Used to see a few X-Runners, too.

 

I wish I could get Prius mpg lol

 

Yep, black lake loop. We'll probably do it both ways. Plus whatever else we feel like doing. It's gonna be a fun trip, hopefully you can make it out. Looking forward to meeting some of the people who weren't at my last Ardbeg trip.

 

Seems that you and @tacoma16 don't get @Thyces and my jokes....

 

I don’t even know what’s going on half the time....think that’s how my truck ended up the way it is....

 

Is Prius C better?

 

Lakes here are still totally ice covered. Both Nipissing and Trout lake.

 

Ryan and I are planning on coming too!

Sounds like like a lot of mods have been done to the gang’s rigs. Looking forward to a nice bonfire, some Kraken and a glass of Merlot.

The black flies are going to be brutal!

I'll bring a good malbec

 

Yes I hear a good Malbec will fend off the black flies

 

Kawartha's much smaller lakes and not as far north. I just picked up the pack boat today up in muskoka, was surprised to still see snow.

Cameron lake is pretty small and shallow so I'm thinking it won't be frozen anymore. Cold definitely but not frozen

 

Are black flies that bad that time of the year? Temps were in the low 20s on June 9th in Ardbeg the last few years.

I expect the bugs will be pretty bad by then. I'm definitely bringing bug spray and a thermacell. Shouldn't be to bad at night though with the "little" fire we're going to have.

 

Well, if you had brought that to a knife fight, you wouldn't be sitting in a court room today now would ya lmao

 

Wedged the 255/80/17 full size spare up in there, I think it fits pretty good

I had no reference to check, does the valve stem go facing up towards the truck bed to protect it?

 

^That's how the spare is mounted from the factory. Once I tried flipping the spare so the valve stem points down for easy maintenance. The tire becames very unstable when being winched up, requiring three hands to hold it still.

 

Perfect, that is exactly the same thing I found when doing it.

 

Great job brother. Looks like your truck is coming together nicely.

 

Thanks man

That ever approaching date for the swisha loop is making me get to the shop like every night

Have to get everything in place to try it all out before the loop.
