Ottawa ON?

it will work but it might not ride as nice?

 

Someone told me about a 1/4 spacer too, could work too. I dont really mind a stiffer ride. If bumper happens its going to be more and more an offroad rig, which do not work with comfort haha

 

well.... at this rate of weather fuckery maybe we plan a ride in the fall since there may never be summer here again

 

Ottawa trail meet 2020

 

I am moving to to Ottawa tomorrow (from Toronto), big on biking, skiing and camping with the family. Any recommendations, good mechanics or Toyota dealer's would be a good start.

 

No need for mechanics, its a toyota haha maybe @Bocsy44 can answer a few questions. Hems downtown Ottawa

 

don't do any biking or skiing but there are biking trails all over the city. if you want biking or hiking tails then hop on over the river to the Gatineau hills. skiing I think most people just head to Tremblant. I think there is a slope in Pakenham but nothing big and fancy. Camping wise, well haven't really done much of that either, but im hoping to get out a little more on weekends this summer. I do all my own maintenance and my buddy is a mechanic so the truck never goes to the dealer haha but I do go to the Toyota dealer in Kanata for parts, their prices are actually pretty good. some items are a little more expensive then online but once u factor in the shipping its cheaper at the dealer some times

 

I have generally had an overall good experience with Kanata Toyota also. The service manager is good to work with if you play it cool and let him do his thing. He went to bat with Toyota for issues with my last Tacoma several yrs back.

 

Good to hear, and yeah regarding parts shipping can be brutal. Thanks for the info!

 

Whats everyone doing on July 6th? thinking of setting up another meet and greet! maybe summer will be here by them, im up for any weekend in JUNE as well maybe June 15th?

 

June is busy for me with school and skydive stuff going on. Unless there is a wknd with shit weather I am at GO skydive when the sun is out and winds are low. I will post up for a last minute Calabogie line drive at some point i hope!

 

I'd be good for the 6th of July, but June is pretty busy. Could be possible still. Now that the days are longer, we can set it late and stay late also lol

 

Hey has anyone worked with Maksfabrication? I need to modify my KB Voodoo crossbars and was hopeful they might have a solution for a reasonable price-point.

We use them for work purposes, they fab/machine garbage truck parts for us. Much cheaper and quicker than going OE in our case, Travis is a good dude, nice work.
We've also used Shore Machine Works in a pinch with good luck.

 

Great thanks for the info, much appreciated!

 

Quoting to revive the thread

Will it happens on the 6th? Meet n greet and/or trail run?

@bzzr2 @Little Blue Truck @Bkups @Tocamo @Tacotj

 

I have a thing to go to in Pembroke but its not until the afternoon. we could still meet up but would have to be late morning kind of thing because I would like to leave the city around noon

 

The thing hasn't to be in a rush. Let's see if others who are tagged are available too, if not we'll just set another date

 

Heading camping this weekend, tenting it in Bonnechere Park.

Def in for something one of these days though!

 

I didn't get the breaks done because of the rain so tmrw morning will be needed to do breaks hahaha
