Ontario BS Thread

Yeah. I have a few odds and ends too. Definitely need to do the tranny and motor mounts.

 

Send me a pic when you get a chance... I think mine are fine but thats when I usually find shit falling apart

 

I only know mine are bad because of the amount of movement I get from the tcase shifters. They don’t visually appear to be bad. Going to do “solid mounts” though, so if you do one you have to do the other. Could crack housings with one moving and the other not.

 

Fair. I'll have to do some research. We are the same year but you have wheeled quite a bit more

 

BBB has a good reputation for reman'd parts according to South Main Auto YouTube channel: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7042056&jsn=4138&jsn=4138

Makes more sense if you can send the core back in a cost-effective manner.

 

Read an article of the sorts recently. The new version of that truck costs $100k, and gets the same shitty gas mileage. Buy the old simple version, spend $5k in repairs, laugh at $65k in your pocket.

Plus, 5-spd manual Land Cruisers are badass!

I've been seeing lots of negative reviews and had mine crap out about 1.5 years in. Looking at about 650 after delivery fees for a reman. On paper BBB seems to be a better option but I'm tired of leaking ATF on customers' driveways.

 

Looking at the interior pictures, it's an auto. Note the PRNDL display:

 

Booooooooo. Shame on my for assuming 5M meant 5-spd manual.

It's incorrectly listed as a manual. Photo also shows the vehicle is US spec with odometer in miles. The listing mileage is under-reported by 2600 kms.

There is rear collision damage, probably minor:

 

Get a chance to hoon them around in the snow yet?

Not yet, just drying still

 

I like you.

 

Thats a solid fucking steal....
Too bad i aleady built a team red PC

 

Gross

 

4WP cancelled my slider order with no explanation... lovely. SOMEONE SELL ME SOME FUCKIN SLIDERS

 

I had Jegs do that to me in 2020 when Covid hit large...I understand why but gave me no explanation either. Dumb!

 

It'll happen. Let it be organic. You likely won't need them for winter. Just keep searching. I waited awhile and never found anything but as soon as I bought mine, I saw a bunch of others pop up.

Or get someone to build them for you.

 

Black Friday is coming up soon enough. Lots of deals on sliders then.
