Nova Scotia BS Thread

That frame is nasty.

Battery shopping today. I have got a Toyota brand 27F now and it seems to be getting a bit hinky. Got it home last night (-16 all day) and figured I would snap the charger on it. Showed 90% charge right off the bat but 4 hrs later it showed low. (less than 60%).....7 years old. AGM at Costco, Carquest and NAPA all around $200. Canadian Tire's Nautilus gets a bad rep so steering clear.

In pei and only 2wd but is Trd off road so has the rear locking dif

 

Should have mentioned - 4wd preferred

Costco batteries are supposed to be pretty good.

Not agm but I stuck a Wal-Mart battery in my Matrix and it never faltered.

 

Not too many even across Canada. Too bad the USD exchange sucks so bad these days.

Lol, seen that 2nd one - my insurance company won't touch anything with a plow on it.

 

Plows are easy to remove and sell this time of year. Could make some money back on the purchase.

 

True

 

True if you look at it I would not only look for frame rot but any signs of stress on the frame from the plow

Although I do see a lot of people with plows on a Tacoma but I wouldn’t do it

 

I have the Canadian tire AGM Eliminator battery it's got 775CCA, works great so far! This is my second one, the first lost a battle with my power steering pump.

The Eliminator AGM batteries have a 5 year warranty, not sure about the others.

 

SOLD Pending Inspection tuesday,

Price: $ 7,500

Good deal?

 

Hard to say without seeing the truck.

 

Man i love this truck so much.


Besides it killing ball-joints once a month due to the lift....

So I strangled every penny out of my wallet and picked up these from JBA offroad



Should be here sometime next week, It'll be nice to not have a press-in upper ball-joint anymore, and I should get more down-travel. I'll hopefully be getting rid of the spacers this summer in favor of some true coil-overs.

 

Hey is it common for the try the compass and sun glass holder in the ceiling to leak ? (2nd Gen)

 

What are you putting in there, maybe the cap was loose on your mickey?

 

No no that was perfectly fine
It’s not a real bad leak it’s just mostly a drip

 

Seriously though, I have not heard of it and mine does not leak. How does the seal look at the top of your windshield?

 

Mines never leaked.

 

shit never even looked , this the 2nd time its ever leaked since owning it ....oh yea my truck anniversary is coming up in feb ,, but yeah i think it leaked 1 day back in i wanna say last march or april so far this year its only leaked the 1 time so far ill have to keep on eye it

i hope thats where its coming in from is the windshield as i have to replace my windshield next month

thinking about it now only technically owned the truck for 1 year and need a new windshield not even trail damage id be okay with it if it was something i did

 

I feel dirty that the only modification that I have made to this truck in the year that I have owned it is the short antenna... that I just installed today. Also ordered the ECGS bushing as mine is getting really bad. I will probably make myself a bearing puller, and installation tool on the lathe.

Also debating whether 17" wheels are worth it. Because bigger 4Runner brakes seem like a sweet idea to me, and there seems to be more tires available in 255/80/17 than 255/85/16.
