Ontario BS Thread

That is mighty fine of you!!! If we weren't 5 hrs apart this would have worked out perfectly, however I still may take you up on the offer...Im leaving tomorrow to head North but working and plan to wheel later in the week. And as luck would have it, one of my meetings is in North Bay.

I see Two options...

1. I try and find a place to order a replacement(to you door) in time for your winch install so you dont get f'd. OR

2. I could grab that piece from you and have a local machine shop in North Bay machine several so in the end we both have spares.

 

What winch do you have?

 

I can’t believe it. I just found the damn thing!!!
Thanks for your help and the offer! Wonder if I should still get some spares made for next time lol

 

I have a well used Warn Zeon 10-S

What ever works best for you, if you want to have some machined. Or order me a new one. No matter to me

 

Even better@!!!

I hate loosing parts

 

Was it sitting next to your 10mm socket?

 

It’s amazing how something can disappear as soon as you put it down.....had a hammer disappear for 5 mins yesterday. Turns out where I was sitting I just couldn’t see it behind me.....

 

LOL

 

I was gonna pressure wash my frame from the 20 years of dirt and then Krown it but I might take you up on that.

On a side note I wanna get all your opinions, looking into my 1" body lift before I purchase my rock sliders. Basically trying to judge if I should be changing my body mount bushings or if yall think I can save them with some beautiful torch work. Any input would be appreciated. Thoughts?

 

See if Energy has a kit for your truck. For the $100-200 it may be worth it while you are in there.

 

Ya, I've found the kit. I think it'd be better to replace them rather than chance a bolt seized in a bushing.

 

Bolts can be had at the store and for how old your bushings are they may be thrashed. My front rad ones were toasted.

 

FIFY

Start soaking in PB blaster or something similar a week in advance... MAY make your life easier...

 

In Canada you don’t need lock tight. We have the winters for that.....anti seize everything lol.

 

Lol yep. Canadian Loctite is Brown not Red or Blue.

 

And it’s the devil!

 

Got this picture from Facebook people ( I wear tinfoil hat and not there). Looking forward to pictures and story from @OrangeTaco101

Seems I still hold the title "Did Greens in One Piece, twice, don't mind the jeep, he took bypass second time... "

 

The most important part of this repair is the Off bug spray on the hood...with out that nothing gets done.
