Ontario BS Thread

It was the actuator. They weren't going to cover it under warranty because I was off road when it happened. I kindly reminded them I bought the off road model and it says off road on the side of the truck

 

Oh I am with you, the famous shitty electronic transfer case from toyota... I had the same issue with the secons gen, they keep making that crap for 13 years in a row.

I told my delaer it happened on the road tho, so they coverred it.

It’s a $1000 part and can break on anyone anytime, I would start looking into manual conversion, people done it here.

Good luck on fighting the dealer!

 

More like driver error on your part though

 

Its ELECTRONIC T-CASE the word electronic says it all, computers job to know when to shift.

 

No shes a just out of high school intern working the parts counter and that tech got canned afaik.... let me tell you how great her parts discount is... lemme know if you need anything before she heads back to school

 

I'm thinking of doing the same. I have a softtopper, and an apex bed rack I'm thinking of cutting up to go over the softtopper.
I'll have to definitely widen the rack a bit, and make at least the last bar removable so the topper can still fold in.

 

Its a good idea forsure,

I just spent half an hour talking to a local fab shop, flatbed is the way.

They’ll work with me, build the frame. I’ll cut the floor and attach it, make mounts to my frame etc. Flatbed will be about $1000 then the rack plus a little Australiain canopy, i like peters full cab on the bed but I don’t need all that space, im make one 3ft by the bed width to store my fridge on a slide plus a little kitchen and the other side will be all my camping/sleeping stuff. One toolbox on the side for recovery and random crap. Spare tire on the back of the frame. The fab guy is going to make a 3d cad drawing etc. Im think 2-2500

 

Drivers stupidity to switch on the exact circumstance the little card thing says not to

 

No fight at all. Kudos to Race Toyota in Lindsay.

I will for sure have to look into a manual conversion. I miss my jeep for that

 

I finally got to use my steel bumper.... Pushed a shopping cart out of a parking spot.

 

true overlanding right there

 

I would have gone the same route if I had the time to get it fabbed. I barely made it to the first few trips with bolt on stuff. Really look forward to seeing it all pan out.

 

Yeah same here. I love the cap and slide I have. Since the slide doesn't come out all the way, I'm going to build some shelves in order to better organize the space towards the back.

 

I'd argue mall crawler.
Either way you're running over bubbles carts

 

The odds of them doing it are rare
its obvious yous and peter's are for camping etc.

Its different if its clearly a work vehicle. If the guy was to stop you he's just a cunt in a shit mood trying to get a ticket written.

 

Well, since he offered me to give cash if he get's stopped the odds just increased slightly

10% goes to @bfeth

 

Went camping this weekend, little jealous of this overlander setup, minus the minivan part.
$4000+ set up, slick little tent

 

seen these bad boys in Ardbeg last week https://youtu.be/79i6dFZASgs

 

Was that @Thyces I saw yesterday driving down Ouelette? I was on my bike

 

Black and green bike?
