Ontario BS Thread

and embarrassing one given its ganaraska hahaha.

 

Parts were likely on their way out. With all the Dana 44 solid axle toughness, the front knuckle still pivots on ball joints no larger than the ones on the Taco. Fortunately the CAA-contracted flatbed was able to get in. Otherwise the tow bill would have been hideously expensive.

 

Got my aluminum skid unbent and cut it up some more with angles to make it stronger. Lost an 1” of clearance with it like this but it’ll be much stronger and doesn’t hang any lower than the stock one already.

@llamasmurf

Also got this far, had to work on the weekend. Still need to complete welding. Reinforce and get the shackle tabs on it.

 

Looks cool, I was intending on going, but it was the same day as the Mississauga MS Walk.

 

So I got the bad news today. I'm officially out for Ardbeg in June. @Norilsk
Kinda doubt I'll make it out at all this year.

 

@Norilsk so guess this means Minden?

 

Do you have place for canoe/kayak anywhere in those areas, I am bringing with me 2 buddies for camping.

 

One will sleep diagonal in the backseat of the cab hehe

 

There's a lake at the end of the Minden trail

 

Yeah, like I said, they find back of my truck doable for long rides.

Eh, don't want to drag boats all the way thru trails, ill think something

 

Recovery

 

That is some nice reinforcing on that skid, should be good for some more abuse now


That bumper winch mount looks badass already, once it gets the tabs on it

 

There's plenty of lakes around.

You'll pass at least 8 just coming up 35

 

@Joe23 @Norilsk

So I should stop bothering my buddy to go to Ardbeg on June 9-10?

You guys have bailed because Jake is out?

 

You guys should still do the loop. I wanna see some pictures and videos when I get back from Alberta.

 

Theres a few large ponds along scotch line in minden. I remember about half way a large water crossing , stick to the left. It’s probably 75ft long. Theres a big pond attached to it to canoe on.

 

It's still on, just somebody, hint hint @Joe23 , planned another trip with somebody and didn't tell me or @NeonHeights & @Theicemedic till few days back. I think they are having private "overland" club meeting jk,

I still have plans on cutting the trees down to avenge previous truck lol

The List:
@Norilsk
@Thyces
@Ttaco15


@NeonHeights @Theicemedic

Anyone else is welcome to come, I'll be brining so much wood to beat my last year fire record. Expect some fire show.

 

Ryan (Dodge) and I are planning on coming up. Might just come up early Saturday morning a do the Black Lake loop. We’ll bring the camping gear in case we stay for the night. The black flies will be insane. Head nets will be mandatory.

Is anyone going up on the Friday to nab the good site?

Glenn

 

omg are the black flies going to be insane.

Last night I went out and tried to help a local find one of their lost wiener dog's. I stood in the back of the truck calling to him while the wife drove down the trails. We did not find him.

The swarm of flies that got me each time we came to a stop was intense. I broke down and put bug dope on, I never do.

They are only getting thicker each day and night
