Ontario BS Thread

misread.....My bad. It's Monday.....

 

That would make me start laughing, something out of a comedy movie.

 

Ok so what I'm getting at is cutting off the front mounts that everyone dose the cab mount chop and replacing it with a kit like alpine or all pro or..... whatever.

Ok so Norilsk's is done.
Ok im going to do mine when the weather gets better. Just wanted to see if there are any snags those u tube videos don't show.

 

You are doing a relocation.

be mindful of your slider location. Non of the kits I have found work with my sliders. Since they are welded on, I’m making my own kit.

check out the red goat fab one on here. It actually moves the mount and bolt location 3” back. That’s my plan. Going to hopefully drill and sleeve a new hole and weld in a new mount.

 

Is it really disabled if there is no button attached to it?


the harness is still there, i'd just need to short the wires for it to work!

 

What has everyone done for switch pods? I'm working on a 2ng Gen switch pod setup, trying to source some good quality switches.

I saw @Shveet setup but I don't think it will work in the 2nd Gen.

 

Amazon switch pod knockoff. Easily takes away a lot of the writing through the firewall.

 

thanks for the tip never thought about the sliders.....

 

Well I'm about 150 pages behind on here.. LOL you guys keep busy.

Couple things I figured I'd post up.

I posted a new thread with a new, modular rack setup - turned out pretty sweet in my, super humble opinion.
ORO M-Rack


Next - Rock Sliders
Will be looking for a couple trucks soon (DCLB, DCSB/AC) to build a first set of sliders off of.
If anyone's in the market for a set, I'll be offering a steep discount if you're willing to drop your truck off for a day on a weekend.
After that, I'll be throwing a jig together, and offering these going forward.

I'm finalizing pricing now - if you're interested, just send me a message on here and we can hash out the details.
Looking for essentially one of each truck configuration and will have this posted in a couple places. Priority will go to whoever's availability works out the best/whoever's easiest to organize things with.
Do not have a set date in mind - but once I find people interested, I'll work out a day with them.

Basic info:
3/16" CNC cut/bent frame mounting plates (bolt-on)
Either 3/16" 2" square or 1-3/4" DOM main rail - will see what looks/fits cleaner
0.120" 1-3/4" DOM outer rails
Planning to offer both angled and flat sliders
Finished in powder coat or bare steel.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Thanks!

Honestly, has me regretting my Bestop purchase and the plans to put a round tube rack over that.. LOL
Love how these turned out.

 

When does Season 2 of Joe's Wheeling Adventures start on Prime?

The wife and I want to binge watch the 1st season.

 

Well, if you have a taco, I know a few here would most likely jump on a bestop.

 

I ran away from the Toyota tax!

I'm committed to the Bestop. Huge fan.
Just means I need to put one of these new racks on a trailer..
Means I have an excuse to build a trailer now

 

Love it! Very cool! How are you liking the new “Ford fucking ranger “ (I hope you have the song blasting when driving it).

 

Fresh windshield, I can see things now better. Comes with go pro mount.

 

LOL with all the Ranger groups I'm in, I'm long over it..

Quite happy with the truck so far (Sept 2020 purchase - 13,500km on it)
Extremely impressed with the engine, which I was skeptical about originally considering it's a dinky little 2.3...
But Ford has done well with the Ecoboost tech.

The few times I managed to get off pavement, I've had absolutely no complaints (except for the garbage factory tires).
Already have a new set that will go on in Spring once I decide how much I'm willing to fork out for wheels...

 

Indeed - Because I just got back from visiting the Princess and bought one for myself...

 

I'm just currious how the dinky little 2.3 will handle 33s or even 35s if that's even possible.

Ford put their all into their Ecoboost line but i'd love to have seen the 3.2 diesel here.

 

Many people already running 35s and a couple I've seen running 37s without any issues.
The 10-speed transmission is highly regarded and is the same transmission they use in the F150's.

Like I said - I was as skeptical as anyone!
I've been extremely impressed.

Also - the tuning capabilities on these Ecoboosts are insane from what I've followed.



I'll be running 275/70r17 by the Spring and really don't THINK I'll ever go over 33s (famous last words).
I need to keep it a reasonable daily driver and I put KMs on pretty quick.
