Ontario BS Thread

After floating around in my work tool box for a month then in my center console for a while i finally got a minute to put it on. Thanks @Taco1992

 

Looks good! If you need it bigger, holler!


Also, welcome @TacoOR20

Cant wait to see that new 20 when you get it!

 

No problem!

 

Those 33" tires really fill the wheel wells. How were they on the hwy to the cottage?

 

flattening the pinch weld help?

 

Driving wise, not bad. They do get loud around 110km/h but thats not much louder than the KO2s. Its noticable for me since my brain hasnt filtered out the sound yet. Brought it up to 140km/h passing some shmuck going 70 on hwy28....

What i did yesterday made it barely drivable on the road to the cottage. Turning left kept catching the inner fender and had to do some cutting at a McDs on my way over.

Got to the cottage, bought a new hydraulic jack today after finding my old 3lb mini sledge and went in to beat it down for round 2.
3lb mini sledge made quick work of the pinch weld but i might need to go in for round 3 since im not 100% certain if its down all the way.

Coated it with bedliner since i had a can in the truck from the bumper. Have not tested it since i took a 4 hour cat-nap due to a rainstorm and just woke up.

Ive been debating swapping the tires onto the OEM rims....

 

Shit eh......Hopefully round two helped!

 

Looks like it. It looks like its just the plastics that grab - ive not noticed it grab the cab mount.
Will do some lighter ATV trails tomorrow to get a feel for it.

I need to sit down with someone to get a better idea what to do

 

It sounds bad, bad shouldn't damage anything major.

In terms of "what to do", you can continue to make them fit, or begin looking at suspension to help make it fit.....But if you are half way to making them fit, you never know.

 

skip that 33s nonsense and do 35s

 

Anyone have any experience with steering racks that didn't replace them with tundra rack.....Appreciate any insights.

 

I might be making it sound worse than it actually is. Its not undrivable, im just really cautious as i drive and dont have the confidence as i expected to have.

Deciding factor is how much money i want to spend on suspension. That number has not been decided on...

Also my mum is short

Ive not sat down with you yet so i cannot accept this as a viable option.

 

Welcome @3.5lpanda

 

Welcome to the group.

 

Welcome aboard good sir!
One neat taco!

 

Awesome looking truck !

 

Welcome to the club!


Diggin the decals, Tell us about yourself!
And by yourself i mean the truck

 

Day 2, it’s coming along, mounting points is a bit half assed I need to make better ones and few little cosmetic plates around, but overall me gusta!

 

@Snail81 you said 800km offroad to break in the tires right?

 

I’ll hold you to this......
