Ontario BS Thread

There is a crisis going on at lcbo, the Portuguese wines are running out, only thing left are the crappy ones or expensive vintage ones.

It looks like because of covid, there isn't much import export going on in some areas.

 

Now im going to need to do some research quickly again since i essentially gave up looking for that upgrade (digressive, progressive)...granted 10000 km isnt all too bad from the sounds of things - 4 months of driving maybe? And i doubt they had seen any offroad use. I cant see any info about them as i dont use facebook lol

 

thanks for that clarification.

 

Just want to say hear do your homework and look b4 you leap.
I've been very happy with my 5100's.
Cheep and since I don't jump my truck or baja down the trail there sufficient for now.
You guys have been into.this long b4 me so you k ow best. That said i should of went to a long travel kit and be done with it.

 

I have been very happy with my 5100's as well, and I feel like I am just now hitting their limits.



For the cheapest upgrade I could find, it was perfect to start with 5100's for me.

 

Long travel kit and "done with it" are mutually exclusive from I've seen. Constant maintenance and upkeep

 

its like going ton31s then 33s then 35s.

Just go to 35.

Suspension wise just go to long travel or sas

Its cheaper in the long run. I think

Editing:
Just looked at prices.
8k for front and 5k for rear. I'm sire when its all said and done someone can be into 15k for a long travel kit.

Thats enough for a good used atv and snowmobile....
I think ill stick with what I have. I can afford to replace it if anything breaks.

 

Thats my thinking at the moment. Ill replace it when the oem shocks give out on me. Sure the fox 2.0s look nice but for the shit i do, with Ardbeg being the most difficult thing to do and thats only once or twice a year, i dont NEED the upgraded shocks right now.
I WANT to lift the truck a bit because of the 33s rub when i turn, but the rub is for a second as its not rubbing at full lock but just before. But i dont NEED to lift the truck for that same issue,bit can wait

$600 sounds reasonable - but i might pass for now. Besides its too cold to be dicking around with the truck outside

 

yep its hard to try to upgrade of change anything in winter time... agreeded

 

@cwisema got my used set after lots of abuse and they are like day 1 still. Just saying, for the price those for sale you can’t go wrong. They’ll last you years.

 

Agree with this @Shveet

 

And all that money and you still have the stock diff. Why I’m slowly building axles. Trucks only worth so much, so full send.

 

I keep smelling parts for sale.
Today its smells like regeared diffs

 

Pants are just longsleeve shorts…lol

 

Okay bye!

 

@Manfred is already on it lol

Everyone else in line though.....

 

There's a line... lol.
In that case.. re gearing is soooooo.over rated. Lol.
ill wait.patiently ...

 

You’ve got good gears, let them be till they go boom.

 

I will say it’s cheaper.....insert some quote about patience and rewards.

or just blow up everything!


I do have a 4.88 thick cut gears for the 8.5 diff that’s meant for the arb. Changed it out in case it was shock loaded. If anyone needs it let me know sooner then later. May make a desk lamp or something out of it. Maybe a third hand or weight....

 

If I see someone with a 60 and 14 bolt in a 2nd gen on the trails, no rehearing for me.
I'll want the same. I've fallen into that trap b4 so I know whats going to happen again.
