Ontario BS Thread

Are you replacing all the interior bulbs with leds? One by one or with a kit?

 

Installed Meso dome- and map lights earlier:

The rail line has been re-opened since 2018.

 

Did you order the Meso lights direct? Or through someone in Canada. If direct how was shipping?

 

Wonder if some people are confusing tread width with overall section width? Anyway good luck with the tubbing to fit 37s.

 

kind of an overview of the build. All steel construction. 13 inch ground clearance to the bottom of the axle. 5000 pound axle. Full body paint. Size is 5 wide by 5 high by 10 long. And yes it works good. Its probably for sale....I've started a new build similar to a go fast camper for the back of the truck. If anyone is interested lol

 

The actual purchase links are in my posts. I basically bought from whichever vendor had the product in stock. The map lights were purchased from TacomaLifeStyle. Shipping was $10 USD. The dome light was purchased directly from Meso's site. Shipping had a choice between $13 USD first-class or $37 USD priority.

 

Is it bad that I’m just trying to convince myself....

 

Lol.

Impossible afaik. I read building a road would be too difficult, and even train line needs to check for possible terms frost issues.
I looked at trails on Gaia and saw none.
Drive up to the train line, and take the via train. Or fly?

 

Who was it that set the bumpstop to where the tire just clears the bottom of the headlight bowl?

 

If you want to drive you can always take the winter roads to Fort Severn, right on Hudsons Bay. You'll definitely be in polar bear country there.

 

if it works it’s okay right.....

 

So I was correct, the ARB twin is just 2 singles mated.

The problem with one of mine seems to be that the cap head screw holding the piston on, snapped.

That looked like the only problem with it. Hopefully Jeremiah will fix it up, and I can have a fully functioning spare.


I now have ARB twin action again, aired up my flat rear tire in the sweet sweet short time I remember it doing.



Did my front brakes tonight as well, they were almost needing to be done, not even at the replace indicator yet but did them.

@TacooSaucee that noise we heard from the front must have been just debris stuck somewhere in the driver side brake, they were not bad at all.

Of course I got done at almost 2am, as I am leaving I see a car parked in the parking lot at my work. So I go and look. The driver is slumped forward passed out, the passenger is passed out with an unlit cig in his mouth. I sat beside the car for about 5 minutes before they woke up. I was sure meth was involved. Reported it as impaired driver, and ensured the police found them.

Our place of business is at a dead end, so we get lots of meth heads thinking no one will notice if they get high AF in our parking lot. I notice.

 

Happy your rig is whole again.
Sad about what you found in the parking lot. If only they knew getting high dose not have to involve drugs. Activities like camping and 4 wheeling can get you high.

 

Only issue is that drugs would most likely be cheaper lol.

“get your kids hooked on cars so they won’t have money for drugs” lol

 

My starting point is Yonge and Steeles...any suggestion where to drive today for a few hours.
The last run took me to something other than ashphalt.

 

We should have a list of places like unassumed roads that we can explore.

 

@3JOH22A I know you use that heater thing inside your tent.

Everyone should have a co2 monitor if they use anything that creates it to make heat.

Backroad map books is pretty good. You can also use the “gravel road” feature on some gps. Only helps though if you have a end point you are trying to reach.

 

I think you ended up in my neck last time. My favourite Dirt travel is bordered between Shelburne & Singhampton (N&S), Hwy
124 and Airport Rd (w&e). Favourite mainly because it’s very local to me, lots of winding and hilly roads.
