Ontario BS Thread

I’ve only had ups, usps, and dhl packages. Ups and dhl dings me every single time.

I made a thread a while ago on a way to bring them across the border with cross border pickups

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/guide-to-cheaper-shipping-from-usa-to-canada.730211/

may be worth looking into. My small packages (under 30lbs) always cross the border in a couple days, but I’ve never done any big items.

 

No hold up but they'll ding you for a couple hundred. I ordered when the border was closed but given the option, I'd have picked it up stateside

 

I have used CBI across the border for all my larger items like my bumpers and armour. Most times companies will get you get free shipping inside the US.

 

FedEx raping is about the same as UPS. You'll pay the HST plus a brokerage fee. The pkg won't be stuck in purgatory. If the shipment has multiple pkgs (1of2, 2of2, etc.) I've had one instance where FedEx charged me twice for the full value of the taxes and fees. FedEx blamed it on paperwork error on vendor KB Voodoo's end.

 

But are you actually going to tape off every letter?

 

Im talking about spending the least amount of money not least amount of time

 

time = money. i'm worth $350/hour (truck mod consultant) - maybe more, so i can't really see how that would be worth it

 

Well, you do you lol

I wont be adding a "chrome delete" kit to my truck. So i'd be spending zero time and zero money on it

 

Besides marker and electrical tape... Cheapest chrome delete kit right here...

 

So about the clutch… new output shaft too, flywheel getting resurfaced

 

Lol times is money

 

Some people have too much of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If we go into another lock down, then what?

Unless you work 24/7/365. You can't use the "time is money" quote. Because once your shift is up (and unless you run into another job right after) you're not making a dollar

 

Once again you have more experience with trannies than everyone else in the club.

 

But then it's time for wheelin'!

Cost of Wheelin' Priceless. (Don't talk to the smokin Russian though, he seems to have a few bills)



I don't believe in "Time is Money" either... but... we never value our time enough...

People forget that we only get a very finite amount of time in life.
Like grains of sand in an hourglass,
Some people will build a Sand Castle or a Tropical beach,
Others will just make a Litter box or a fire pit,

So even if we are not making dollars on our time, we still have to value it.

 

No one can say you don't get your money's worth out of your equipiment.
Note to self: check to see if my next vehicle was ever owned by........ nevermind.

 

same thing happened to my rack. Drilling out a broken bolt became too much of a hassle so I cut off 2” off all the way around, retapped new threads and installed new bolts. So far so good and the rack looks better being a little bit lower to the roof line.

 

Can totally use it. The longer your working on one project the less time you have to work on another. Less projects a year means less money.

my main point was for the ten or twenty bucks for the overlays, I’d rather get those then spend the time masking the letters off and spraying them. It’s faster and I know will most likely hold up longer compared to paint

 

Camped in cloyne, did Ottawa, Mont Tremblant and Algonquin on the bike in 2 days. Around 1000km of riding.
