Ontario BS Thread

You've been doing your homework!

Lol you nailed the exact # I put on...

Stock is 600Lbs
53-291387 = 650lb <-- what was installed. for 80-140 Lbs over stock.
53-291394 = 700lb <- What is recommended for 150-200lbs over stock.




Oh, no... I told myself no cutting on this truck, only reason is I know what will happen...
it will be like a dam breaking in by bank account ....
and then it's gears...
front and rear lockers...
then it's reinforced custom spindles...
then it's supercharger...
then it's Marlin crawler box...
new steering rack...
then it's 4 link suspension...
then it's solid axle...
then I'll be able to put even bigger tires on...

But by then I will have screwed up,
and some of the receipts will be found by the wife,
and I'll be found dead in the garage...
with a rolling pin up my ass , and a meat cleaver stuck in my head....

 

Lol Thermaltake. They're like the Smittybilt of flashy PC parts.

 

650 is fine with your setup, I am going with 700lbs on my elkas, and that's extreme case because I have too much weight on the front axle alone.


You just described my 2020-2025 plan here, except no wife for me, get it all done - then get married and make sure to sign prenup so the truck stays with me

 

Trying to figure out some fender flares for the front.

Anyone seen these in use?

I've ordered them just to return, quality is bad and they don't flex well.

I ended up with this product it's stronger and easier to shape and stays in that shape.

these are apparently the best quality out in the market, but damn they are $$$

Sold by pacer performance. We can get a 300ft roll for $300ish. I only need a few feet. Could figure out a split.....

 

Are you looking for the 4 inch or the 2 inch wide?

 

Currently have the 2.25 on and it’s not enough. Looking at the 4.25

 

Hmmm

You think the 4.25 would look weird with my skinniez?

 

Think it may be too much. I have some 2.25 left over that you may be able to do your fronts on.

I got it from @Atlas86 so I can spread the wealth.

 

Yea I am only looking to do the fronts.

Gimeeeee a price and ship that shit!

 

I’ll check out how much it is to ship and if you cover that it’s yours. I’ll pm you details and let you know how much I have to make sure it’s worth sending.

@Norilsk you need this

 

seen it, but for 40s I'll be looking into SAS. Next summer will be all cabin prep for larger tires and #hackerman skills to make computers work with future axle.

 

To the AT guys, how often are you suppose to change out the transmission fluid? I know you need some weird ass thermometer and it has to be in some "range" to do it. But no idea how often since my dad is pestering me that were need to do it at 50,000km. Which doesn't sound right since i swore i read up somewhere that it's longer, 100k- 15

 

it's a "lifetime fluid". I wouldn't touch it until 200K mark or 10 years if you are not constantly towing.

that "range" somewhat true and somewhat a lie, I had to replace fluid on my 2nd gen at 250K mark and 4Runner at 20K mark (transmission pan was crushed).

It was drained and measured and then put the same amount back. My buddy who owns the shop does it for all his customers that way and never had anyone comeback with broken tranny. It ain't orthodox way of doing it, but western civilization people are too annoying when they can't think beyond manuals and instructions


oh and when you swap fluid don't forget to change transmission filter as well. Mine still looked good at 250K mark.


I do miss my 05
15 not so much

 

And this is why i'm confused. Because the ranges are usually at 2 different spectrums like this example.
50,000km vs 200,000 is a bit of a range...
