Ontario BS Thread

While I appreciate the work that went into this design, and the idea is pretty great… is there a reason the ‘eyes’ are so… uh… alien?…

 

On our current logo, there are these weird swooshes that does something so i figured to use those.


reminded me of the Halo legendary difficulty skull





fuck man, idk i tried.

 

Never even noticed that on the logo until just now!
And I think it’s a great idea, I would help contribute, but know nothing about graphic design or how to use anything other than the ol’ C&P into paint. Hell, I couldn’t draw a proper stick figure if my life depended on it. I’m just an ideas man. A many, many failed ideas man.

 

we even have them embroidered on the hoodies! All the little details! Alright t-shirts is a go (logo at the front only, nothing in the back), flags stay the way they are - must earn.

 

@3JOH22A so welcome back? was wondering what happened to you

 

I've been installing parts while in TW jail.

RCV axle shafts P/N CVJIFS-TOY2 came in 5 months after ordering. RCV axles don't include the outer dust seals and axle nuts that normally come with aftermarket CV axles. Outer dust seals are Toyota P/N 90304-A0001. Re-use your axle nuts or get Toyota P/N 90178-28002.



While the LH axle is out, replaced the front diff needle bearing with ECGS bushing P/N T8CS-BUSHING and a new seal Toyota P/N 90311-47027:



Everything installed. The high-angle CV boots avoid the need for the boot slide mod:

 

So I’m headed to ardbeg for the spring cleanup…. Chances I make it to the beach with this? Been 3 years since I’ve been.

 

Hundo p

 

Drained the front diff and refilled with Castrol synthetic

$29 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75W-90. Installed Lexus drain plug with 14mm external hex P/N 90341-24016:

 

Installed a couple of the Dodge Sprinter D-rings P/N 5170492AA on the bed cubby bolts:



Put my new emblem on the tailgate with 3M 03614C molding tape:



My replacement LCAs didn't come with the anti-whistle hole plugs, so I had to order them separately, P/N 90950-01990. These have the number "8" molded on the head, same as two plugs in the frame rust spray kit. Each LCA takes 3 plugs, for 6 total. Decided to go OEM despite their cost, because the plugs are in a harsh environment, getting dragged over rocks.

 

ah so that's what the strikeout across the name meant

well, welcome back and it's good to see our best mechanic here right next to the best welder @tacoma16

at least you got busy, What's this little guy? the sensor protector?

 

Far from the "best mechanic" First time replacing CV axles in my life...

Yes that's the ABS sensor guard from eBay: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/293733848130

Not the best design because it still relies on one bolt at the OEM location instead of two like the Jomax guards, but way cheaper.

 

actually? Because if so, I’m gonna bring it lol.

 

People pull much bigger trailers with less clearance to Ardbeg beach, but you'd have to go really slowly.

Locals usually traverse the area in Highlanders or Honda Pilots. You're more likely to encounter a small sedan at Ardbeg than encounter a bear:

 

Today I learned a 3/8x12-in. screwdriver doesn't have a 3/8-in. diameter shank. In fact, it's .357" or 9mm. There's goes my attempt at making a cheap high-leverage adjustment wrench for my Icons.

 

Sounds like a plan then. Guess I’m doin a whole weekend.

 

True is this.. but I think you earn that not only for the "sacrifice" but also for the living the lifestyle.

 

but at what point is it considered sacrifice?
Torn CV boot or dented LCA?
cut sidewall on the spare tire or a removed valve stem?
what about a scratch on the rock slider or a obliterated ABS sensor?
busted tail light or cracked oil pan?
missing o-ring for the jet boil or missing an arm to tie down RTT rainfly?

 

ah neat so the Fleabay ones are more akin to the Greenlane ABS sensors then?

From the price of things
The Green lane one (set of 4) aint all too bad overall. a hair more expensive than buying 2 sets of the Fleabay ones) but supports local.
but the jomax ones, for a set of 4, would be just shy of $300 CAD.

Edit:
Nope, took a look and the FleaBay ones come in a set of 4 for the $100.
