Ontario BS Thread

Goes to show how much we've been ripped off for gas prices.

I'm digging up all my gas cans though... Going to fill up every gas tank to the brim, even the weed wacker... lol

 

Filled up 4x20 litre cans today. 76.9/ltr.

Filling up all the small ones tomorrow. Crazy times, cheap gas, drive fast.!

 

I am accepting gratitudes on behalf of Tsar Putin for the fuckups that caused it.

 

Still too much ethanol, but awesome 1990s pricing!

 

omg the north gets jacked on gas prices,

we are still sitting at $0.98/L in town. $0.88/L if you want to drive to the reserv to get it.

 

Wheeling season coming up (if we're allowed out) and if you're on the market for tires (or you're new and looking for guidance) this should be something you watch. Eye opener

Did you buy a boot yet? I was gonna use roof flashing like below

but found a cheaper alternative (Toilet flapper) because my overall OD was pretty small. $4 vs $20ish

my buddy out in BC said they're paying $1.05L for regular.
compare that to ours down here in the city, it's nuts

 

Didn't watch, but my guess everyone can stick with 33s? 35s+ usually for a rock crawlers only, not for overlanders and gravellanders

 

Might be due to a lack of fuel terminal in your area. Scroll to the bottom for the columns RUL (regular unleaded) and RUL-E10 (10% ethanol): https://shell-ca-apps.client.hostid.net/index-en.asp

Probably a combination of higher taxes and higher transport costs. No pipeline going there right?

 

it's right around the middle of Vancouver

 

Probably taxes in BC then.

 

Desert prerunning also appear to favor large tires.

 

speaking of, hopefully borders are open by May

 

OK, Big brain time.
Found this on Reddit but;

Sooo you can program the garage door button on the rear view mirror to turn on this harness

Bought this harness for my ditch lights and come with a remote control, you can then use the garage buttons [on the rear view mirror] to learn the buttons from that controler. Now have a use for those buttons...


Now i need to get this harness for the ditch lights i have on hand. all i would need are some mounting brackets and probably new cabling to mount the ditchlights to the back of the truck

Will let you guys in on the newest hottest selling coin out there...
So successful we have to limit sales even at major retailers....
















Like bitcoin you can break the major units down for smaller transactions from; package -> roll -> square -> 1 play square

Got the floor cut, and tcase mocked up.

 

Question from old guy, who understands how things were and trying to parallel thought with current tech sync with old execution. How does one operate with free wheeling vs locked hubs (manual locking old school)? Does the new xfer via 2wd low at the diff (modern way) or are you swapping in manual hubs?

 

My truck just passed 50k km so I'd like to replace the gear oil in the diffs and maybe the T-case oil. What's everyone using for gear oil? OEM, Amsoil, whatever Canadian Tire has on sale? And is T-case oil an OEM only oil?

I just noticed at work today a 45 gallon drum of

$30 Mobil 1 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

Mobil 1 75w-90 gear oil we use in the military vehicles we build but I don't think they'd like me walking out with 6 litres lol.

I want to get my truck service jobs lined up now just in case we close for 2 weeks.
