Ontario BS Thread

LOL sounds pretty accurate. I used to commute to toronto before covid shut everything down. Really it's the only thing that concerns me. Not sure the next time I'll be parking it for a full day in the city but I'll update if the inevitable happens.

 

Got bored and made a little shelf in the bed, glued a cheapo carpet from home depot on to make it look decent.

and thats the extent of my "modding" this month

 

Can't show us that mod yet!

gotta tease us with in-progress work, and then show it off at Ganaraska meet up

 

Oh...too late now, It would've been a real neck breaker too

 

What is the shelf for? So you can put stuff on "the shelf"

 

Or perhaps under the shelf

 

Looks like a place to sit and drink beer as well..thats would be putting your ass on the shelf.

 

It's where you store the lime away from the coconut

Before you add it


And shake it all up

 

Don't foget the rum...

 

Loving the energy towards the shelf, a lot of speculation going on so I'll clear the air:

Its the perfect width for traction boards to mount on top, rather than rail mounting, and keeps things slightly more organized (limes and rum on top, coconuts on the bottom).

It will also stop bigger things (bins/coolers) from sliding to the front of the bed when I have the tonneau cover.

Beer bench as a bonus benefit.

 

Ha! See, everyone likes to sit in the back of their truck and drink beer!

 

I can't wait to find a new rear tailgate so I can sit on it and drink beer. Right now that thing has the structural integrity of a soft tortilla.

 

I added a 3/16” aluminum plate to beef up the tailgate. Helped a bit and was flat which was nice.

 

Hoping that I can come across a pretty minty tailgate, once I have one that's actually flat I'll definitely be beefing it up with something.

 

I believe the mobtown reinforcement is once of the best looking, and best priced options:

Yeah I'd get that and the lip reinforcement as well. I once had a bigger guy step off the back and the tailgate buckled pretty hard. didn't help the overall form of the thing. I think that the edge one would be more important than the main but who knows.

 

Yikes, makes me doubt putting my motorcycle in the box.

 

My tailgate was already pretty compromised though. I'll post a pic if I can get away from my computer at all today.

 

Use the soft tortilla to make yourself a burrito...they go well with the beer. Then again what doesn't?

 

Let’s talk about Ball Joints!
Moog or TRW?
