Ontario BS Thread

Hey guys, I saw a silver 2nd gen with a silver top and steel bumpers while walking my dog today. Anyone on here driving down Fourth Line, North of Acton this afternoon? Nice truck.

 

Now you need to mount a full length light bar across the top! Light up the world!

 

Anyone intresteded in this for mid August?
Toronto to Ottawa
147 then 17 to North Bay
11 to nipigon
17 to Thunder Bay then Dryden then on to Kenora
71 to Fort Frances
11 back to Thunder Bay
17 to Nipigon they to the Sault
then Sudbury and the 400 Home

I'll be on a motorcycle and traveling at a leisure place (means I'll stop at whatever interesting things I see)
roughly 5 days on the road
maybe camp maybe hotel
fly by the seat of your pants style trip no hard and set plans except to stay on the high way

you dont need to be on a motorcycle for this Corollas will do just fine.

 

What kind of bike are you taking? That's going to be like 800 km a day.

 

I ride a cbf1000. Sport tourer.
800km per day but stopping every 2-3 hours for fuel.
Yea it's a little much.
Not set in stone just a rough plan.

 

Anyone tried one of these cell signal boosters? https://www.amazon.ca/Cell-Phone-Signal-Booster-Truck/dp/B07MV3BLN1/



Amazon reviews are 70% positive. If it works, it'd be good for camping spots with borderline no reception.

 

Round KC lights all the way

Not sure about that one. granted i should look into one of those. only brand name i hear all the time is wiiboost or something

 

@daks I may have found another dirt pile for us to play at. It s much closer than the one by the place-that-can-be-named-now by highland road

just drive to Hamilton airport - cannot miss it


front bumper back in place, oddly doesn't feel as heavy as it did before. i think the skids helped it
Thanks @tacoma16 for letting me use a table sander and a few spare bolts for the front plate


next up is 1 inch lift and 33pizza cutters.

 

send me pm of location, i am nearby and need to get my kicks dirty

 

Still have the wiring to do, will have to extend the wires for the trailer hitch as even releasing a few tabs could not get the wire long enough for a comfortable fit... Then run the power wires for the pods....

But gotta give @pete37 a big high five for service and delivery on this new fanciness I just installed.
He definitely out performed a much bigger retailer, will be forwarding peeps in that direction from now on.

" Oh you gotta call Pete, the way he handled my rear, left me totally satisfied"



Now to go bash it off some new dirtpiles, thanks @Shveet

Oh the feeling of freedom, knowing I don't have a potato chip bumper any more.

 

You sure your truck has big enough tires for the Hamilton roads?

 

knowing you, you'll break a door or roll over
for your own "safety" - i'll decline
I'm still trying to figure out what prius you drove over that nailed your rocker panel

I am truely an assman. I see ass, i give an upvote.

Cheers bud!

Parkdale still rattles my teeth we gotta send him down there!

 

My buddy Jeremiah has a cell booster installed in his heep, works great. He ALWAYS has reception no matter where we are on the trails.

I will find out what unit he installed.

 

I got 27+" tires with me, those should do

 

this is a solid trail to go bombing down with a bike, The Bruce Trail!

Tiffany/Sherman/Canterbury falls section is quite some fun Done it a few times. Watch for horses

 

shoot a message to both of us. Cottage country out in Bancroft area usually doesn't have any reception along even the highway/ back roads portion. @ODSC1 do you get issues when we do fun runs?

 

Hwy 41 south of Denbigh usually doesn't have any reception at all.

 

Call those tires....

 

In other news of "They don't make them like they used to"
