Nova Scotia BS Thread

I just sold mine with the stock rims and use the dash light as a reminder my key is in position

 

I just stuck a piece of tape on the dash



Kidding, I grounded the wire - much tidier lol

 

Washing and waxing a 3rd row seating SUV that is wrecked on the inside by kids and dogs is like driving with the AC on and the windows down. Pointless.

 

My wife took the Corolla to Permashine for detailing. After a full day of work, it was still so dirty they didn't want us to take it back. We took it home and dropped it off the next day for a second round. They put in another full day, leaving just enough time for it to dry before the end of the day. They refused to charge us a penny because they had not been able to meet their standards! We thought the car looked awesome. Kids are hard on interiors.

 

Pointless maybe, but satisfying? Oh yeah

 

So this just happened, lol

Got tired of alternating heat and pb blaster and just leant on it with a 6' bar. Heading to C tire for a replacement but if anybody has an ugga dugga and a couple of hours to kill pm me

 

I have an electric impact gun you are welcome to use

 

Thanks! Just got back from C tire so we'll see how the new bar goes but I'll pm you

Edit:

Looks like I'm heading over to old Canoehead's

 

Are you and D2 related?!? You guys seem to have luck of the same nature.

Side note, Happy Fathers Day to you dudes and those who are filling in the roles that another guy didnt want!

 

Princess auto breaker bars seem to be the best ones for abusing. The Canadian tire ones snap at the first sign of abuse, but the princess auto ones thrive on the abuse.

Brushless rattle guns are amazing if you lack a compressor. I have a Makita, my buddy has a Milwaulkee. Both work fantastically. I've pulled off several crank bolts with the Makita.

 

Only by first name

You have to give it to Canadian Tire though, I walk in there with a busted breaker bar and a sheepish look on my face and the girl at customer service doesn't even blink, just says "you need a replacement for that?" I like to save up my customer service visits too so I also took in a tap and die set that had a broken tap. Both items were discontinued so they gave me the closest thing they had, which in both cases was an upgrade. Add to that I decided maybe leaning so hard on a ratcheting breaker wasn't such a good idea so I bought a straight one while I was at it (good thing I did too - see above lol). They gave me that at the lowest recent sale price. I think I paid like $25 each for the two items maybe 5 years ago - walked out of there with $170 worth of new tools for the princely sum of $15

I'll be putting one of those on my wish list for sure! I have a compressor and literally as I was pulling out of Canoehead's driveway my neighbour texted to let me know he has a pneumatic rattle gun I could borrow but given the choice between dragging the compressor or an extension cord out to the driveway I chose electric and it popped the offending nut free first go

 

I am glad the impact gun worked out. I think I am very close to a second battery setup with an inverter that should let me run it off the truck anywhere I can break down at. That gun was 60% off at Canadian Tire, and has outdone a few air guns!

 

Or.. With that much juice you could run this:

and have onboard air too

 

As it happens, I had one of those but sold it just about a year ago.

I have an ARB dual compressor setup in the bed box right now, and when ever I get the flatbed built I will plumb in an air tank as well.

 

So which one of you beat me to the scs rims and tires that were for sale on kijiji?

 

Those rims are awesome. I was tempted.

 

My nephew picked them up tonight for his 2004!

 

That would be me jumped on them right when I seen them!

 

Nice! I only wanted the rims and im still a week away from being in ns so i dont think my odds were good for getting them haha.
