    If you're coming from Halifax it's the first exit 17 you encounter. I'm guessing they would call it 17E as it is on the East side of Kingston but I always just refer to it as exit 17 lol.

    It sounds like you're the man.

    17E for Kingston. They are one way exits, so if you miss the first one the next exit isn't until Berwick.

    I care not what you drive, so long as you drive it hard. I am still stock everywhere as well, so I have no issue finding it's limitations and getting pulled out. All I have to recovery gear is straps and a shovel.

    New Ranger or old one? I am really curious to see how the new Rangers are in comparison to the Tacoma.

    I'm pretty sure its the same person I met at an overland meetup in the Bass Pro parking lot.

    Small world, she works at the same building as I do, and we occasionally say "Hi" to each other and park next to each other in the parking lot.

    doing some regular maint in prep for the weekend,
    Oil change went awesome / quick ( have a tendency to just lay under the truck and stare at things wasting time, lol )

    Greased the DS, no problems there,
    went to grease the lower BJ..... dang nipple broke off :frusty:

    she's hoopa-juped now, good news is that is seems like the grease is level with its surroundings, so I don't think its dry, but that wont last long. Good thing I bought en extra BJ from Rock auto when I placed my last order.

    if luck is on my side, I'll replace the tranny fluid before Saturday.

    @TacoMitch93
    before the whole "won't start" shenanigans for your truck, did you notice a backfire on startup?

    asking for a friend....:anonymous:

    We talked about you at it, and looked at pictures of your truck on our phones. But not in a creepy way.

    Thought I'd Jack up the truck, look at the idler pulleys to see how many are bad. Then I looked at the passenger lower ball joint, it's shot! So, I don't have to be at work til 4, let's go.

    Currently searching everywhere for a ball joint press adapter that fits a moog ball joint... this truck is probaby not gonna get me to work today...

    It's backfired for a long time. I figure its becasue of the lower back pressure exhaust though. Sometimes itll snap and the idle will smooth out.

    Saturday at noon at the off ramp at exit 17 on Hwy 101 :) Looks like a decent group of people will be there. I'm stoked to have a good day on the trails and to meet everyone.
