Ontario BS Thread

I would have to agree with you here I can sure zip around better with the 31×10.5 inch set up below which is my stock size than my 32 Duratracs on stock steelies

 

A volunteer who came out to help us today showed up in this rig….. US truck was not a speck of rust on the frame whatsoever and beautiful aluminum skids. Pretty cool build. GX 470 2008 4.7L

 

Basically just a land cruiser Prado

They're pretty kick ass just $$$$$$ when new

 

Thanks! I did use the SOS pad method, after trying some other things first.

I was hesitant at first because I thought it might be too aggressive and remove the white, but worked it out great

 

I learned that when we were kids back then white wall tires on cars were cool

 

What do you mean? They still are cool

 

How does one volunteer?

 

What is a good main battery to get? The original has had it's day.

 

You can check us out here http://www.hullettmarsh.com/ with lots of good information on the homepage including active links and PDF’s.

Our social media platforms are pretty interesting as well with clickable links on the homepage. If you would then like to volunteer we have many different tasks so just send us an email request and we will send you a PDF fillable volunteer form! When @tacoma16 and @Atlas86 came out that’s what they did.

 

That my friend is called raised white wall lettering and yes that is super double triple cool

I meant this

 

Muddy ones are even cooler especially with a bed full of geese decoys And some interesting hunting partners

 

I always found Canadian Tire was decent to get batteries from, good warranty and they seemed to last as good as any other aftermarket ones.

 

Optima Red Top 35 - weighs 20lb less than the OEM battery while delivering more cranking amps. You'll need a new hold-down bracket though.

I vote AGM battery from Canadian tire, good 5 year warranty and lots of locations to switch it out at.

 

just mount it on the roof

 

Is this any good? Want to get one tomorrow and not wait while boosting the truck while I wait.

It looks pretty good…..More cranking amps than the one quoted by @3JOH22A However it does weigh 10 pounds more than that one which makes sense… I just read the specs and compared. I’m a firm believer in getting a stronger battery than you actually need.

Having said that and just to confuse you higher end Canadian tire batteries have done me super well over the years but it seems like if you buy this Optima one from Canadians tire warranty and exchange will be good if you have problems.

I have an 8 year old Canadian tire battery in my Tacoma and a 9 year old Toyota battery from the factory in my 2012 RAV4. But I hardly drive 20,000 km a year in both vehicles combined.

One of the one star reviews in your link said that it cannot be boosted if it’s completely dead… Not sure if that’s true

 

Yes and it's a heavier battery than the group 35, but more cranking amps and more capacity. The extra threaded terminals are good for accessories.

Pick these up if the OEM clamp bottoms out:

Thanks guys

 

Awesome! Those look great! Especially with the TRD caps that I was too lazy to ever throw on lol
Glad you like them and they look awesome on your truck!
(Sorry again for not having the time to give ‘em a proper cleaning before giving them to ya!)
