Ontario BS Thread

It was at a charity auction, so worth it. I did want the Milwaukee, but hey, I have a crap ton of stihl stuff too, so it works.

 

Nothing wrong with that. I feel like once you buy a single tool with a battery, you are now stuck with purchasing that brand.

 

That's neat - I'm sure you will enjoy using it - I got a Milwaukee 6" saw for Christmas - been using it a lot this year up at the property, really handy for limbing and even bucking small stuff...

 

I like how it's called a potatore in some other language

Could come in handy in Ardbeg if a log gets jammed on top of your axle...

 

Yeah, thought it was pretty amazing work chose the same brand as me.

 

Yeah for all my power tools/drills I’ve got ridgid stuff. I’ve got some other random stuff tho, ryobi and Milwaukee too.

 

That’s fun! Sure you get all stocked up lol.

yeah I got a bit of everything. If I have to get something cordless it will be Milwaukee though. Corded, best price lol.

 

If anyone has had sumin/other recommended shop do a front/rear 5100 install + AAL, what was the cost? I don’t trust myself to do it myself without decapitating myself in some gruesome way.

 

You can do the coils on the truck super easily and safely.
With the truck on stands
Loosen off ur LCA bolts (mark the cam tabs first). jack up ur LCA enough to slightly compress the coil. remove the top centre nut. Lower the jack slowly.

Ive done it like 5-6 times this method. Works well

then just reverse to get the coil back on.

 

Decent video guide for DIY:

Batteries seem to always be fresh.

 

If you are in Peter borough I can help you out.

 

Appreciate the offer. I don't have the parts yet, but I may hit you up when I do get them.

 

sounds good man, feel free. I have a garage/experience lifting these trucks and can do the work for probably a lot less than a shop would charge you.

 

pretty good time waster the only way to start the day is with a nice offroad video..

Thanks Tacoma16

 

Time to think about replacing my hacked up front bumper...looking for options like the Slimline that really doesn't involve cutting and has a winch option.

 

Ralph looks great on there!
