Ontario BS Thread

Anyone want the factory plastic bed side top covers? Don't need them, someone can use them? If you're going up to Ardbeg I can take em and give em to you.

 

considering the spotter was the one controlling the winch he could of prevented all of that

Well shit.



One one side; the cabin held up to a 400ft drop (hamilton escarpment is 90meters (which seems low) 400feet is 122m)
On the otherside; apparently it's easy to engine swap a bronco sport

 

The donut media guys are mostly track guys and honestly dont blame them for that mistake. It didnt dawn on me until after they showed it how winching like that is a bad thing.

 

No seatbelt, no skills, no sense of self preservation, I am glad the dog is doing fine after all of this

 

oh boy... don't remind me of that story...


i dont think that poor doggo made it.

PSA: Dont go 140km/h on 80 marked windy roads in a top heavy jeep in moose country at night with shit headlights.

 

Got everything installed:

• StopTech 4Runner slotted rotors P/Ns 126.44174SL, 126.44174SR
• Advics P/N AD0976 OEM-equivalent pads
• PowerStop P/N S6278 reman 4Runner calipers
• OEM 4Runner brake dust shields 4778160140, 4778260140
• OEM replacement LCAs 4806804060, 4806904060

 

very nice. have been meaning to do the spindle gussets.. maybe next year look awesome

 

Why did you replace LCA so early?

 

The LCAs were squeaking loudly after the Marlin frame gusset install. The seized lower shock bolt on the driver's side meant the LCA couldn't be pulled away from the frame for the full weld. I suspect the rubber bushings got cooked.

I saw the LCAs on ToyotaPartsDirect for 30% off MSRP, so that made the decision easier. Only drawback is they lack the plastic hole plugs (supposedly to prevent the LCAs from whistling like an ocarina at speed).

 

"the driver involved in the wreck is an out-of-state 23-year-old female"

Instagram is a hell of a drug

 

hmmm interesting, I had Sumin welded those gussets without removing C/A, still brand new at 140K just sprayed with water them after burning in

 

Pavel was spraying water on them after welding each section, too. Evidently that wasn't enough cooling.

 

Here's the thread where I got my 4Runner brake upgrade info: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...unner-bbk-upgrade-for-2nd-gen-tacomas.504234/

Enter 2010 4Runner SR5 in the part selector menus on all the parts web sites to ensure you get the correct calipers with the smaller mounting holes. With the All-Pro spindle gussets, I had no interference with the dust shield.

StopTech quality is slipping! The rotors wouldn't seat properly on the hub register. Once I sanded away the E-coat on the center bore with a Dremel, they fit correctly.

I can verify I saw him doing it.

 

That's my ad

 

I am so frustrated with the supply chain issues it's unbelievable.

 

supply chain issues and there is still brand new Ford Broncos sitting on the lots

Drove past 3 sitting front and center this weekend at a few different dealers.

 

There's 3 sitting at blackstock ford in bolton as well. Went and looked at one, felt like a childs toy. They had a single cab, 8ft bed f150 on the lot tho, loaded with options too(for a single cab, it still was farely basic). Had a locker and the 5.0. Super rare truck. Then they wanted 50k for it. Fuck off with that.
