Ontario BS Thread

Thanks @3JOH22A i went to Canadian tire for Christmas lights and left with Christmas lights and a battery. Heads up that some Canadian tires still have them at regular price on that battery and have they have to change it to $219/ honour the website price.

 

^Did you buy the 10 flickering lights?

 

Explaining a video poorly: Jeep dude sells 80-series Land Cruiser to fund portals for his Tacoma with an Imperial Japanese Army flag on the hood...

 

Lmao. They were all sold out

 

i am a fan of this guys youtube channel and know the history and i would say thats a pretty decent summary (except not sure about Jeep dude... hes got alot more LandRover/Toyota/Lexus/Zuk content last couple years than Jeep).

for the record i did call him out on the rising sun like alot of others did (to no effect of course).

 

Anybody know of an A/C bypass kit, or a serpentine belt that’ll work to bypass A/C on the 1-GFE 4.0L? 2008 FJ if it makes any difference.

 

Showing $367 for me. Wouldn't mind picking one up if I could grab one at $220.

 

Two P/Ns listed. You may be able to find them locally as well:

Personally I wouldn't drive a vehicle without A/C, due to the high humidity level in Ontario, but whatever.

 

^^
That's a neat idea..

 

Temporary solution.

Ps. I use my AC once a year when my wife rides in my truck.

 

^So you don't need Dorman's "lifetime" warranty?

 

It does still make me feel good about their product though…they believe it’ll last longer than the average engine

 

Just picked this up. $200 brand new/ never installed or used. I got my plates cut and bent for my winch bumper today. I can start welding my now.

 

Whereabouts are you? I changed the preferred store on the CT website from Toronto east end to Bradford to Richmond Hill, they all show $219.

 

Nice. Bench test before you do anything . That's a good deal.

 

It was the Wasaga Beach store still showing the higher price. Changed stores and now I've got the lower price. Thanks!

 

Had one of those that I sold to a buddy. Never failed me. Not sure if you can switch to synthetic line (why I got rid of mine) without changing the drum. Checked the part numbers a while ago and synthetic line drum was different then steel cable drum.

 

The twin-piston air compressor monstrosity I use is now available for $300. Airs up a 35" tire in 55 sec, being bottlenecked by the shrader valve:

nuts and bolts... any opinions as to the best place to get them?

 

^I usually go to Bolts Plus. There are two of their stores about 5km from my office.

Boltsplus.ca now shows stock status at each store, which is a nice improvement.

Just beware they have a wide selection of Milwaukee and DeWalt products in-store, so wear blinders when walking in.
