Ontario BS Thread

Usually the caps/campers that go off-road have body mounts mounted to the bed to help alleviate the flex that can damage the camper.

I will be putting a floor on my cap and shortening it down. I have beefed up my frame to help with the flex as well. See how it all goes.....figured I will be able to repair anything if anything breaks.

 

Took it for a drive today, didn't reach highway speeds but slow to about 60-80ish km/h and I couldn't tell a difference. No vibrations or sounds...should I be looking for anything else?

My cams did not move at all during installation and my alignment seems the exact same. I think I will wait and see if the needle bearing issue arises over the next week or two and then wait to get an alignment after that.

So you don't have a vibration but are looking to have a problem?

FYI I'm lifted 2.7" in front and don't have vibrations. All I did was the CV boot slide mod as described here, since the fins were touching: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/my-cv-boot-mod.190669/ That was two years ago.

 

Hahah, no I definitely don't want the problem. Just worried it could arise, but all is well now.

Did not know about the CV mod, will take a look now.

 

First for me….

 

Is it that fancy red line liquid grease thingy?

 

I'm over here worried about a problem I don't have, meanwhile this guys truck identifies as a smurf

 

Wes, you gotta step up!!

 

It’s the source of the toxic blue green algae that was found in Hamilton harbour!

 

And you thought I was joking about the unicorn ejaculate?

 

My gf just sent me a video of this mega cool adventure rig on the highway.

Phone was on the phone mount so I didn't get a side view.

 

HAHAHHAHHA


these are all gold, thank you

 

On a serious note, was that the front diff? Wonder if the dunking in Ardbeg last year did it?

 

I still never got that off you

 

After I lifted my truck it was 6 months later that the vibrations started and 25000 km.

 

Ahh of course, always when we think we're in the clear. I'll have one eye open for it, thanks Joe.

 

that was rear diff. Used Motomaster 80W90 which has a blue-ish tint when up against black.
the diff oil (it's 60k km, 2 years old) did mixed with the 0w-20 engine oil i just changed and not entirely dumped out the catch can. also shined LED lights right exactly at it so probably did something
this is a new bottle of that oil;
