Ontario BS Thread

I thought we already decided that the clutch start cancel button makes the MT a hybrid

 

Bring it, i wanna take that for a drive

 

Only those that witnessed my starter crawl rocks would know

 

I think this is the best fuel economy I've managed to get so far - Generally don't have the time or patience to drive like a little old man wearing a funny hat...

 

My Subaru averaged 11 L/100km around town back when it was on stock tires

 

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!

 

tomorrow is test day...

 

My objective was not speed But convince.
Out 4 air pressure gauges all read different pressures, so trying my best to get the tires down to 15psi and pumping them up to 30 psi took approx. 9min. at the end I try to see how long to air up a flat tire and my phone dies, I get the tire to 23psi before that happens.
well my version2 of homemade oba.... lets see if it lasts more than one season

when the weather gets better I'll get a better video up.

 

Guys that bought rear bumpers, what did you pay for them? Right now 4wp is doing save 100 on ever 1000. So I asked t.dot if they will price match and beat, if they do that will be 1,037 out the door shipped to mine. Thoughts?

 

1. Nice truck
2. I like that air setup a lot after seeing it in action.

Check Amazon, theres one or two 3rd gen bumpers for 6-7 hundred.

 

Just lookin’ at Bumper & Slider prices. Add Shippin’Costs & coating. Think my ‘lil Fab. Shop just got resurrected.

 

I paid under $800 if memory serves me correctly,

I made the mistake of listening to 4wp that said they could have it in 2 weeks,
at 6 weeks they still had no clue when it would arrive, would not even to bother to check with the manufacturer.

Then I go smart, got a hold of @pete37, got it in under 2 weeks for same price as 4wp. 4 weeks after I had pete's installed 4wp said they got one in....

 

Hey, you like maps and shit right?
Are you in need of a pot shop?
Holy cow.

 

Wanting to take advantage of the current 4wp sale before midnight, it feels like a good time to buy a suspension. Budget is about 2-3K and have been mulling over the OME full kit or the fox 2.0, but i feel that be dragons for my needs. I am looking for 2" max but to get to a more linear/progressive feeling from where i am now with sport shocks. I know at my stock camping weight and DCLB a heavier spring is warranted (700lb?), for ride i really want to have a smoother more controlled ride going down trails, not crawling but logging road type stuff (comfort for co-pilot is high on the list).

This is my take on things as it is. Is there a best option here with this sale? Should i wait to find a deal on Eibach 2.0's?

OME
pros: progressive valving, offered with medium spring
cons: not adjustable, i plan on adding some weight (not immediately) and fine tuning height +/-0.5" would be nice, rear shocks allegedly dont have the best travel (still looking for numbers here)

Fox 2.0
pros: fox is badass??? my MTB experience says they will be reliable
cons: cant find what lb spring these come with, dont know what the valving is

Icon
pros: fit the price
cons: reliability rumors

5165/6112
pros: reliable for dd, most articulation
cons: need brake lines and bumps too
or: just get the normal length +$80

 

not sure about Fox2.0 fronts, but the 2.5 fronts i got have 600lbs springs on them
