Ontario BS Thread

^KTJO4X4 used UPS when I bought the seat covers last year. The carton is fairly bulky (to avoid folding the covers), so UPS probably used volumetric rate calcs.

 

Ouch.

 

^Still a good deal though even with shipping.

 

I like the Scepter fuel jugs because they have a small footprint and can stand upright in 3rd gens with over-the-railcap type tonneau covers. I don't think they fit under the tonneau on 2nd gens, due to the shallower bed.

 

they dont fit 3rd gens with the backflip style covers which sucks but the 25L one fits with maybe two inches of room above it https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/scepter-jerry-gas-can-25-l-0283053p.0283053.html

 

Is there gonna be a newbie run this year?

 

@Norilsk ?

usually we try to have our newbie runs in Ardbeg as the trails are a good entry point for most, however because of the long drive, the last few years have been in the 5 points trail system if I recall.

If you are interested in camping, the upcoming Ardbeg cleanup may be a good option for a “newbie” trail.

 

I don't think we are going to do it as a standalone event this year. Instead, we will have multiple trail runs happening throughout the season, all featuring stock-friendly trails.
There's Ardbeg in the spring, VMUTS in late May, followed by the Sudbury/Timmins adventure trip, and so on!

 

is there a thread for this?

 

No, not yet. If you're on Facebook I've posted it on the OverlandNTH and Bancroft Overland Club pages.

 

Is there anything offered for SW Ontario that is less than 2 hrs from London?

 

The Milton meetup barely meets that criteria

 

Picked up a like new soft topper with extra windows/ travel bag etc for $500. It’s came off a 2017 Nissan frontier long box. I found a thread about this being done. I called soft topper and they said only a long box Tacoma would work. Length wide is all the same. It’s sits about 3/4” over the cab right now. you can’t really tell but it could probably be better if the sun loosen up the material as it’s cold and been sitting closed. Just some info for people looking for different options I can only confirm for a long box. The instructions there is a picture of a Tacoma lol.

 

thanks for the tip. Truck looks good.

 

thanks.

 

I organized a backroads and a snow run in the London, St Thomas area over the winter through the Bancroft Overland Club. No trails in either event but a good afternoon out over the winter. I also organized a run out of Orangeville in the late fall that will be posted here. It's about 2 1/2 hours away.

 

Soooooo. You have a Nissan top and I have a ranger top hmmmm.
We get a couple of more guys with other than Toyota tops and we have a group "topsnottoyota"tops. not. toyota.

 

Please keep me posted.

 

I saved hundreds by switching to Nissan .
