Ontario BS Thread

sort of looks like @Krezz buddy's truck but IIRC they run everything from another brand - Victory 4x4.

what i don't like about this post is the "Looks like it's from this company" as if he isn't sure 100% what it is. Might of bought it 2nd hand and parting it out... but it's a bit suspicious....

edit: oh, well - that's why i didn't like it....

Isn't Core that company out of Collingwood that was ripping people off? Maybe he knows the reputation and is trying to play dumb?

 

I'm convinced it is. That's exactly why that post did not sit well with me.

 

That truck was on sale on kijiji for awhile. i assume this car dealer got it on a trade-in and it swapping it back to stock.

 

Crazy that guys sink that much money into a rig, then just get rid of it all to a dealer.



Blows my mind.

 

I had a feeling it looked familiar in some way but just couldn't put my finger on where i saw it before since it's been a looooooong time since i last saw it.

it's a shame but it is what it is. i dont know the original asking price and i don't think i want to know

 

You next? I need some fresh trades at the dealer to look at...

 

When I was thinking of trading my '09, I couldn't get shit for it... Hence why I kept it. Now I'm selling it privately, asking $10K obo... I understand why a dealer would put it back to stock - not as many of us out there to buy a pre-built truck. We buy a truck, then build it.
That's not (Krezz's buddy) Ed's truck - he still has it.

 

I just went down there and bought the ARB skids off him...lol
You guys say I need skids. Now I got skids.

 

Never, I love my rig. 1st vehicle I have ever owned, hopefully the only one I ever buy.

*edit*
You are welcome to come out on VMUTS sometime with me and see the awesomeness that is my rig, you are looking for MT I think, so its probably not something you want to drive. Can try it out if you want though

 

well you're not wrong

but $500 seems reasonable for ARB plates, they're known to be fantastic so they'll stick around for a long time, especially a full set like that. you might feel their weight under the truck as you drive.


so now you need a lift and new 35" tires to lift you back to stock height Might need to regear and definitely need to do a CMC.

 

I scored them for 420..cause they are a little beat up...I might squirt a little paint on em. Or I might not.
Lift for sure is next.

 

the trap was set, the modifications leaving a sweet taste in the air....

Hook, line, and sinker that was quick

 

I looked at those rock sliders/steps and they are F%^$ing heavy ...plus if I'm going that way I just want a single tube...no step.
They were frame mount tho...must have been an easy 60 lbs a piece.

 

That's quite the offer, might have to take you up on that sometime

I don't think I'd ever do anything as intense as you guys do though. Maybe a light gravel road here and there I have my dual sport bike for the VMUTS trails

 

quote of the day

 

How much were the sliders? Like 3 hundy?

 

Saying Hi. Not a regular visitor but since my civic build is on hold until I get the engine reassembled this winter I'm in the process of doing some light taco mods and maintenance so I'm good for this winter.

 

$420 is a great deal. The BudBuilt skids I have would cost over $2k shipped at today's prices.

I pull my skids at the end of each season to spray undercoating on the frame. I rattlecan touch up the skids and sliders at the same time.

60 lbs apiece is typical weight for sliders, since they need to be beefy enough to support the weight of the truck. The kickout at the end is for extra bedside protection off-road. Biggest caveat though, is they were made by Core, so fitment could be questionable.
