Ontario BS Thread

I knew of them close to a decade ago from some nature show, it puts toxins out it's roots to kill off other plants around it and is not a good habitat for regular critters that like to live in bullrushes.
Roots/tendrils underground so you can't just go at it with a weedwacker to kill it.

I have noticed that regular bullrushes are very rare to see on the side of the highways as they've all been replaced with these.

In fact it's getting rare to see bullrushes at all now... that stuff is taking/has taken over everywhere you used to see them.

 

How's the LlamaSmurf Nation rebranding coming along on YouTube?

 

I've been watching the TW thread on the lift kit. Did you buy the whole kit or just the struts? There are a couple different part numbers that comprise of the kit. Did you buy it from a local dealer or order from somewhere?

 

This post had a close up of the front shock

Front and rear...



It re-uses the old springs and top hats..


Interesting that there is not a peep from Toyota that these are "adjustable" for height. Marketing guys must have received their coke delivery late that day.


Notice how the lock on that zip-tie lines up with the TRD logo... that's precision engineering right there!

Maybe why they are advertising it as dealer installed only, shade tree mechanic may put the zip tie out of alignment during install....

 

Gotta check the alignment on delivery...

Just red this

It gives info on the problems with the sensor after grill change by explaining how it works.

 

Sounds like it's only available as a package. It's basically a way to overpay for everything and pay inflated labour for a Toyota tech to install. I don't have TSS and I have aftermarket fogs so the rest of the package is kind of useless.

 

It's described as 2020+ lift kit...

 

Well, you got me there

 

Here is all your Part#'s,
April 1 2021 it will be sold under a new part # as a complete kit only. People have already bought and installed it themselves in the US
(no I did not make up that date)

 

Winter wandering...



Best set of mud flaps on a transport truck that I've in a while

 

no, i never bought anything in regards of that kit. im just bumped into it in a news feed that was apparently 6 month late to the announcement lol

i got fox 2.5 and 2.0s

 

According to this link, https://www.autoblog.com/2021/02/17/toyota-tacoma-trd-lift-kit/ , that @Shveet posted it's compatible with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) that started in MY 20. I thought the 18 and 19 also had TSS.

 

Just the way I had read I thought you had got the TRD stuff. Did you get you Fox stuff on yet?

 

Naa, i was interested in a 4runner front shocks at some point a month or 2 ago, but havn't put them in yet. waiting for the spring for the fronts, but will probably put the rears some time soon since aluminum

 

The wife loved this idea.

'Like you dont have enough to do with 2 jobs, selling the house, moving and buying something else.'

I had to assure her it was a joke.

 

Yes it was '18 when they added the TSS and from my knowledge the sensors are the same (except for the 'fix' for the water intrusion) as the 20's.
The body computers are probably different part#'s so that may be an issue (but I doubt it).
If the Pro in 18 and 19 had a different body computer than the OR them maybe they TSS radar sensor is not swappable between the two...

My be is they didn't want a bunch of people with pro grills that were disabled during the sensor recall camping on their doorstep demanding they be re-enabled because it was BS they were fed.

"Millimetre Radar" is basically just a wi-fi antenna.

Neat thing I found with the body computers is they are setup for all the options (BSM, Rear Parking, TPMS) and when they are first turned on they "learn" what is connected to them.

When I removed my rear bumper the BSM came off with it, if I hit the BSM button, the computer would obviously signal the error on the centre dash screen, fired up techstream and found the relearn function and it turned off the BSM as it could no longer detect them any more. Button does squat now... (Going to re-purpose it for my cross-traffic camera system if I get the time when it's warm to work on it)

 

Hey guys, since we couldn't make the winter road this year, do you want instead to do a trip thru the Ottawa region or Quebec at beginning of April or end of March?

This is the Ottawa Valley option

In Quebec we have the gaspesian loop, but it's 10 hours just to reach from the gta.

Swisha loop, Quebec, option is 5 hours away.

Make a separate thread for this, we might have a few Quebecers chime in

I'd be down to do a extended long weekend run of that (take a day or 2 before/after)

 

Will do.

@Norilsk, which day you are thinking to do Ray's Place? I don't want to suggest dates too close to other events.
