Ontario BS Thread

something that always helped me was my homemade tall stands... anyway that will be a good time killer in the winter months

 

Tires are sold guys.. thanks

 

@Snail81 how's the lift by the way? still running good or giving you issues?
CV not showing any wear or tear?

 

Where’s the best place to buy wheels?
Any recommendations for online companies where shipping isn’t an arm and a leg?

 

Rims or tires? and a ball park location would help.
Most tires you can get from any garage/ tire shop, i went to Queenston tires & Rim in Hamilton for my Cooper ST Maxxes, Canadian tire also carries these.

in regards of rims on the other hand... not too sure.
got mine from 4wheelparts

 

I’m in Kingston. I can get tires from most places here, just curious if there are god online shops for rims in canada

 

I've used 1010Tires.Com for the wheels on my Subaru. If you buy both wheels and tires there, they can mount and balance them so it's bolt-on for you.

For the Tacoma, if you have a specific brand of wheels in mind, it'll limit your choices. Best place I found for FN (Konig) wheels is TacomaTownOnline.Com, which is a front for Cochrane Toyota in Alberta. There's also WheelsCo on Kijiji for knock-off TRD wheels (useful if you want a different size or offset that Toyota doesn't offer).

 

Did anyone else get the fuel pump recall notice today?

 

Got it long ago, won’t bother with it. Truck has over 120K and zero issues with fuel pump.

 

Found some caps that cover my winch controller connection, since the warn part is back ordered for 3 months no matter where you try and order it from.

They may fall off so I got a few from the junk box They are a nice snug fit, since 3/4 is just a tiny bit small for it.

3 months it wont matter when the actual cover arrives.

 

After I sorted out vibes, everything is nice. No problems

 

i got mine back in may, i'm heading in this monday to get it dealt with

 

That’s a great spot for that! So easy to access and all. Little bit of dielectrics grease may help keep that cap on and won’t be too bad for the pins either.

 

They are on sale at princess auto coming up on Tuesday. Foldable engine crane. $275.

but it so I can have it when your done!

 

Someone is selling one (not folding) in Barrie, asking $100 on Kijiji.

Another for sale in Kitchener asking $150.

I personally need a foldable one with the amount of shop space I have. The used foldable ones are about the price of a new one on sale from what I found so far.

 

I think this needs 2 more soft shackles, but maybe that is over kill




Wife mocked me and went to bed laughing 'Have fun playing with your toys, no way you need more soft shackles until you actually use it all.'



Why does she have to be right when I just want more toys

 

I hear you. They take up a lot of space even collapsed. When I got mine about 20 years ago I think I only paid $100 for it new, on sale. It’s had a lot of use over the years and is a good investment.

 

What size? do you still have them?

 

Yeah, and after reinstalling my steel bumper with the winch on, my back would appreciate having it lol
