Ontario BS Thread

Good morning. Missed the newbie run last weekend. At my buddies family cottage this week and his cottage is on crystal lake and right beside the entrance for the 5 points trail system any obstacle on trails I should be aware before I go wheeling. As some of you ran the trails last weekend thanks.

 

Dog pic. His name is Henry.

 

Hell ya. We need more dog pics in this thread.

Here’s Shelby

 

Loom Lake, Salmon Burn, and Picard Lake are nice easy level 2 trails, stock friendly.

Concession Lake and Crystal Lake Trail are more difficult (like harder than Minden Scotch Line), not recommended unless you have full armor.

 

Good afternoonleaf spring on my drive side started squeaking about a week ago, was not expecting this.
Any recommendations for new leaf springs?

 

^Link from my 2023 post is still valid. Wrong pricing still there as well:

 

Yep, I got these and love them

 

if you are looking to replace with another stock set i have some with less than 25km on them.

if you are going aftermarket i also recommend the Icon RXTs.

 

Is there any that I can get with a 1inch lift over stock, I have trd pro shocks right now or would that not work?

 

Option 1 with a little bit of weight in the bed will provide 1.8 inches, realistically 1.5 with anything at all in the bed.

This is what I run in the rear, beat the shit out of them and no problems. Not sure how the trd pro shocks would handle it. @3JOH22A may know?

 

You can run higher lift amounts with stock shocks. The shock by design acts like a droop limiter. Also means you can keep the stock brake lines for now.

 

another good one

latest pictures of the Lexus, need to get this thing ready for the road asap.back will sag and level with the front once loaded with camping gear, front still needs slight adjustment up

 

The capability of those trucks stock is just amazing I can imagine how much more now. Looks great even with the rake.

We have to go back to Sullivan lake where it all started.

 

Ill take the pedo van in the background

 

Haha, it’s got mustang inside… bits of it for sure…

 

Fall cleanup! Let’s see how much garbage we can fit on the roof

 

Hopefully Ericbobo doesn't take that as a challenge...cuz...yanno
