Ontario BS Thread

A fleeting thought @ Portage ‘n Main when everything’s freezing cock stiff.

 

Been there done that...

 

40s on a 3rd gen

 

Keep the black sand beaches in mind this Februrary in Yukon

 

All this talk about Maui reminds me of a Movie clip...



" It's mostly Maui Wowie Man, but it's got some Labrador in it"

Ahh the classics.

 

anyone upgrade there audio? if so what is a good place to do so. I'm cheep and old so don't need anything to impress at the nursing home ( that's what my 37's are for) haha. just something louder with more base. thanks

 

https://www.crutchfield.ca/ has a ton of good stuff. All real reviews and if you input your vehicle info, it’ll show you stuff that’s a direct fit. They also send you instructions to install, and if needed adapters.

 

My factory tires are sitting at 6/32nd. Replacement coming up soon. ST MAXX 255/85/16 on the way.

 

in before someone else. Why not 40's?

 

Bc my volvos getting 40s, duh

 

Any risk of those inside a tent/ enclosed space?

 

They're designed for that. There's a tip-over sensor, an oxygen sensor and they're designed to not give off a lot of carbon monoxide. But, of course, you should have a CO sensor just in case.

Sure, if it touches something flammable, all bets are off, but assuming no user error, it should be fine.

 

The space needs to be ventilated to prevent oxygen starvation. CO poisoning hasn't been an issue - they burn pretty clean. I always run a CO alarm with digital readout, and it has never displayed above 0.

Fire is a greater risk like Saturnine mentioned. The heater sends a lot of heat upward even on the lowest setting, despite the radiant panel facing forward. I warped the a tonneau panel at Partridge Lake in 2020, hence the reason for the fabricated deflector. I've also put heat-reflective insulation under that tonneau panel.

 

Perfect. Was thinking about keeping 1 in the truck if i had to do an overnight in the truck.
Just dont get it to touch flamable stuff- easy enough

 

OK...is it just me? Both of ya have an inverter in the box...electric blankets start at 50 W then range up to 150 W...and they're snuggly to boot

Why not pack one of those?

AND...this would not be of concern in Maui

 

^I prefer to keep the whole tent warm so I can pretend I'm in Maui

 

Inverter uses truck battery and shuts off after awhile. And most blankets shut off after about 30 mins. Then you have to get out and start over. Not ideal.

 

I dunno man...my electric blanket runs all nite.

I'd be perturbed if I had to wake up to wake it up every 30 mins. Sounds like a design flaw

 

It's intentional; people can't be trusted to be left to their own devices. Most do, some don't.

 

with a stock battery you are gonna need booster cables and a buddy to start your truck in the morning with a 100W running all night
