Ontario BS Thread

I am stealing this idea!

 

Were you rubbing?

 

I’m not sure, went up to Algonquin a few weeks ago and the mosquitoes were insane.

 

I have mobtowns. Beefy as shit love them

 

I got mine without the filler plate or ecoat and it was about $1100 USF (shipping/duty included) to my door in Hamilton.

When you go to put them on, put down a piece of plywood, then set a milk crate on top and rest the sliders on top of the milk crate.

Makes it easy/peasy to slide the sliders under the truck add a shim to push it upi against the bottom of the frame and it holds it there when you bolt 'em up. Zero effort one man job now.



Tires and sliders have been the two best investments in the truck for practical reasons.


Just ordered one of these, Warn Semi Hidden winch bumpers 10% off today at 4wheelparts so $1120 with taxes and shipping.



Liked it because no cutting.

And now I'm off to go install my new fog lights, too hot to keep workin on the backyard fence (well that's what I'm telling the wife).

 

ECGS has Harrow E-lockers for the tacoma's, and ARB Air lockers, both front and rear. Can buy the guts or complete assembled diffs.

I'll be going E-Lockers eventually. Toyota Rear and Harrow front (maybe just the rear though).

You don't want auto lockers on a daily driver. Lol especially in the winter.

It's Ok on a Jeep, as they have a different driving "personality" adding more clunks and quirky cornering issues just adds to the experience of it being an off road vehicle that you can kinda drive on the road. (Holy sh%t I can't believe I said that so politically correct).

 

Nah just wanted some more clearance and like the look as well.

 

Will also help with clearance when I go up in tire size running 285/75r16 but when they are done I want to go 34’s

 

Overland Outfitters is good shit, I always check with them before buying anything. their prices are fair and they are nice to deal with. they have an in house fab shop too and they make their own sliders. hes actually a member on here too if you didn't know haha @WormSquirts. im getting some ditch light brackets from them. they have a TW discount code too, at least they did at one point. its Tacomaworld10

 

Consider a regear while you're at it.

I'll be doing regear next year and likely 34s

 

Ya I have considered it but it will be quite costly though so most likely going to try 34’s with out the regear and see how it is and if I have 2 I will but when I go up 2 35’s after 34’s I’ll be doing regear for sure with front locker as well.

 

Yea you are correct, after talking it over with my friend who has them on his heep. He suggests I get a selectable for the front, just like I have for the rear.

I already have the compressor onboard, so I might go ARB. Dont have to decide just yet. Want to get it paid off 1st, before I do any messing with gears of any kind.

 

Installed Wet Okole seat covers and replaced the fire extinguisher (old one had expired and wasn't rechargeable):

 

I have to stand up for my jeep personally.

Put 35s on your tacoma and i bet my jeep drives just as good. Two completely different set ups but you get the point

Its a great DD with the 35s and regeared getting high 11s/100km

 

You're too light then

I need regear on 33s. I have no 6th gear now.

 

Where'd you get the mount

+ Jeep roll bar mount:

I cut the straps on the back and bolted it to the mounting plate with three screws and fender washers.

 

Installed a GoPro mount for use as a trail cam, and wired it for constant power:



Phone connects to the GoPro via BlueTooth through the GoPro app.

Been thinking about the Wet Okies...another buddy I know has em. Definitely a good product. Fucker also has a diamondback cover. Clearly he has more money than I. Here's the real conundrum...I can't even mock him from the MT perspective, well, cuz...he MT. Fuck him tho, he's bald! BWAHAHAHA!

 

Brent... You either need to smoke less or smoke more
