group buy status brings it additional savings, seems off the original price.
and they'll refund you the balance of the cost after the group buy closes/ things are paid

 

May be a good start. Cad files for diy bolt on plates.

see my attempt at the mobtown styled mounting plates. it follows the same design principles.

 

Must of missed that.

 

Water levels have been stupid high on huron too. Everyone says highest since ‘86 and a lot are saying higher. Suppose to be higher/on par next year too is what ive heard.

My neighbour sent me pictures of our dock during a storm surge. The lower water level has been average if not a little lower than average all year. Where the black and white boat is was a bit over 3’ deep when we built it 3 years ago, this year its neck deep on me so a bit over 5’

7 years ago when we bought the lot you’d have to walk another 10’ passed the end of our dock to get to the water

 

Then I would saw your gram knew me and my folks...pm me her name

 

St. Clair river is up about 5 ft from when we bought 14 yrs ago.

 

Water levels get me all fired up for some reason. Cant wait to see what the ice does to everyones docks (and some decks) this year

 

All that ice in Huron needs to flush past my place. When it hits Harsens island it kinds gets bunged up and backs up the flow of water. It's ok when you have a 3' buffer but a 1' buffer...gonna be a few puckered assholes and a whole lot of ice breakers this year methinks.

 

How far down Hastings did you get? To the turnaround? I was down there at the end in 14 prolly. Still had a couple of the end cottages going strong...I knew who lived there back in the 70s. Dunno if they are still the owners

Actually, one of the owners back then was from Hamtown

 

Ya all the way to the turnaround. A few are going strong, a few have campers on the lost cuz the cottages got washed away

 

Nothing better than Zip-Tie engineering
Just testing it out till the actual mounting hardware shows up so i can shove the bar into the grille.

 

Those last 2 really show how much farther you can see with that beast.

I see 3 more telephone poles down the road. Crazy.

 

The photos don't do it much justice. I'll definitely keep the light bar as it does fill in a spot that was missing with the normal lights (bothe Highs and Fogs)

my results of bombing around Ancaster last night for about an hour;

Nights alone = can't see the road in the turns or when on hills (uphill or downhill) and doesn't go through the night very far ahead.

Nights + fogs = I see a lot near the front of the truck - but nothing at all ahead of me, nice for around the corners or cresting over hills. Meaning i'd need to turn on my Highs

Nights + Highs = Can't see much close by me, when cresting over a hill, but i can see much further away with little issues, especially when approaching a sag/ hill

Nights + Highs + Fogs = Can't do it, Truck wont let me unless i do the mod. also i think it breaks the legality of it "light" rule (4 lights in the front MAX here in ON)

Nights + Bar = Fills the gap between highs and fogs but doesn't do it better than one or the other. Where i do have lots of light near the base of the truck and lots of light ahead. but it doesn't output more light than the fogs alone near the base, or output light further than the Highs. So it's a nice middle point to use if i'd be going up and down hills/ turns. Granted if i got a better bar, that may change.

But hey, for 50 Maple Syrup Bucks (not counting for the $15 extra for the pods) and a few days of waiting - it's a nice to have thing The Cali Raised brackets should be in today, so i' be hard mounting it/ plumping the cable through the firewall and not over the door either today or tomorrow
