Ontario BS Thread

I'm about 30 minutes away from Guelph.

 

It's amazing what a Toyota truck can do when you don't care!

Don't worry baby, I would never treat you like that.

 

I can attest to it, poor soul just doesn’t want to die.

 

alright I'm finally going to ask - why did you chose Geolanders?

I've always wondered why, and I'm certain you have a good reason for it, so please enlighten me

 

90K kilometres on those with still plenty of life left. Quiet on the road and don’t have humming noise. Never had to rebalance after initial balancing of those tires. Very durable and took me through everything I direct them at, I mean if they went through Greens twice… that’s something

I’ll be getting another set for my truck.

 

He likes wheelspin

 

Neat, thanks for the perspective.

 

Shoulda seen ‘em Before he cut his toenails.

 

20 minutes from there.

 

@Windigo may have latest video of me getting up the steep ledge (or his friend), it’s all about soupy soil

 

I.dont have it but I'll.contact my friend to get it.

 

I'm about 25 min. South East of Guelph.

 

Well the small 1/2 Gal air tank is in...

Still waiting in some nipples so I can put the rest of the shut offs in, and the check valve.

Also need NPT 90's and nipple for the air regulator for the Air chuck portion.

I think I'm going to change the routing for the line going to the air horn from the manifold. Just have to make a 90 bracket so I can mount the horn base a different way.

Just put a manual drain for now on it as I didn't want to spent the time to run more wires today for another solenoid.

The air tank made a huge difference...


Lol I swapped out the 150psi pressure switch for a 100psi one to bring the volume down a bit...

When at 150psi, and standing a meter front of the truck with ear muffs on..
I could feel my glasses shaking on my face and the organs rattling around in my body. Lol only braved a 1-2 second blast.
Wife came storming out of the house and told me to not ever do that again (well the part I could understand) along with some very good threats.
I guess I made her jump a bit,
It was so hard to not smurk, smile or burst out laughing as she was ranting on about neighbours and respectability...
I was going to tap the button on my phone again, because she would have jumped out of her skin, but the glare in her eye told me that,
either me or the truck was gonna get a dent if I did.
Didn't have a camera setup so would not be worth it.

But this scene came to mind, and as she is stomping away my eyes were bugging out trying to hold back the laughter...

Old guys will know this scene...and fitting name for the button too.

 

i’m certain you did the right thing by holding back and not pushing the button a second time!

 

Taco garage night. Cleaning up the rear , spare tire carrier and poking around the shock hangers.

Things are looking pretty good and I like to keep it that way(anal yes!) Just about to start…The before pictures…

 

Decided to make this overly luxurious inflator to see if the hype was actually warranted and if dealing with all these hoses as opposed to one was a pain in the ass or not. Overall I was pretty skeptical until the first official use. Building it was fun, somehow the fumbling of 4 hoses, manifold, and compressor still don't feel as tiring as walking around the compressor tire by tire. Also wayyyyyy faster than I expected for fill up. The automatic psi levelling is a nice touch.

Another fun toy.

 

What Viair compressor? Just got myself the 400p automatic
Thought about making a similar hose setup!

 

No worries man! Yeah the petroglyphs is a cool little spot along the shoreline of superior.
So much out there, hoping to head that way at the start of July and get back out to west joco. I did notice that there’s some private land spots on the crownland atlas around some of those lakes, haven’t run into any issues myself but as far as I know they’re still public access roads.
Yeah west joco gave off a bit of a spooky vibe when we camped there the first night and had fog rolling off the lake around 2am, just as we were getting into our tents for the night a wolf let off a bone chilling howl. Must have been just on the other side of the lake it was that close. Not to mention hearing something messing around in the water even later that night lol.

 

You need to post a video of that air horn.

 

Can you show me what fitting you have on the end of each of those hoses. The ones that hold onto the valve, I want that for my setup. I hate the ARB one, it gives me rage.



Seems like an interesting setup, so many connections though. With just a better compressor, put onboard with easy access to the fill port. You can do away with it all

Takes me less than 5 minutes to air up, going tire to tire.

Also do you keep your front and rear tires at the same PSI? I do not. They are 5 PSI different.
