20CM of fresh powder last night.


Video starts shitty angle, but gets good when I get out

 

Hell yeah worth the drive, That takes me back to 1992, my first job when I moved to Canada and on the canal for wintelude . Hated the shit out of that job but we got to eat as many as we wanted!

 

I didn't even get the driveway covered....

 

Where abouts is this place?

 

Both rear wheels are pointing one way (either to the left or right depending on machine's sign convention) by about 0.2 deg, which can cause a slight pull... if the measurement is real. The rear toe changed by 0.1 deg before and after. Did the technician actually loosen the U-bolts to nudge the axle slightly?

What symptoms do you get above 100 kph? Is there steering wheel shimmy, or is the whole truck twitchy? Other things like wheel balance and rust jacking on the hubs/brake rotors can cause a shimmy. Are you on OEM or aftermarket wheels?

My Subaru with 2" oversize Coopers has a shimmy in the steering wheel at 120 kph, but it goes away at 140 kph. I just chalked it up to a resonance issue with wheel balance and never bothered with it. (The quirky Subaru's steering column isn't centered with the seat either )

 

Wanted: the s shaped hose that goes behind the fender on a snorkle. If anyone knows where I can buy this part please let me know thank you.
After ruining my fender, its butchered I bolted the russian snorkle on but it can't be hooked up
nothing lines up and nothing fits.
Note to self: never buy Russian parts for my truck ever again

Sorry just needed to get that off my chest

 

Super frustrating.

I believe mine is similiar to eves triugh run off material from airflow. you could get some rubber 90’s off of Amazon and just use a piece of plastic pipe (abs) for the straight portion.

If you are driving without fenders liners in the snow, just watch your intake.

 

Something like this @Windigo

but I would go to a plumbing supply first. Most likely cheaper and comes with stainless hardware. Also, some butyl tape is a good idea lol

 

Super frustrating, lesson learned though. Only buy North American parts for my North American truck daaaaaa.
lol.
thanks for that link that is exactly what I may need

 

Moar clearance!

Plenty room for winch too.

 

Talk about approach angle..... lots of that.

 

What's your plan for the front skid plate? Does Sumin have a press brake?

 

Cut in half and weld an extension to meet the new mount.

 

When I saw it with just the main pipe aligned with the front, it seemed there wouldn't be much room for the winch.
Turned out great!!!

 

we got the room

this

 

Also Sumin Auto got a brand new 3D alignment machine, so if anyone looking for an alignment that’s the place to go.

near Finch and 400, North York.

not advertising, but I am

 

You stop that! I'm next in line!

 

Found another video on my phone from today. Mute it, or maybe you like wind. Stupid wind. I should just stop takin the phone out.

 

Looks epic! Perfect snow! So much fun. I stayed home and worked all day. Fucking mint.

 

Yep I hear that. I have 2 jobs myself.


I just relax like a boss.
