Ontario BS Thread

this man reads my mind, but no, snorkel is for sale tho. Check the buy/sell thread.

 

Just stumbled upon a video of the guys truck getting recovered. Not sure why anyone would venture out to where this guy did. Crazy!

Do you need to disturb the ARB bumper when swapping the fender?

 

I don't fortunately, but ask me again when it's swapped

 

Where are you grabbing air from now?

 

i have that winch, works good and good price, checks all the boxes

even pulls tacomas no problem when there stuck so you should have no issues

 

this, but i am looking into building what's on a second picture out of aluminum

 

Yeah for the number that are out there I don't see a lot of complaints about them.
Seems simple and well built enough...
Easier than I thought, to reach in from the top to get to the clutch lever, so no cutting required.
Lets hope I never have to really put it to the test.
Maybe the occasional Jeep stuck in the flowerbeds at Starbucks or something...

Oh first burn of the new year, I deserved that

 

Nice! Wonder if you can work it right into the windshield cowl

Nice! Wonder if you could do another 90deg bend and work it into the space below the windshield cowl

 

That's some rough stuff to get out off geeze...

 

I could, but don't plan on it yet. Cutting into core support is different from hacking cheap fenders.

 

What diameter pipe is that?

Lol that is some impressive Home Depot Automotive Racing Plumbing you got going on there (HDARP).

I didn't know they made aluminum plumbing parts! Where you gonna get that?

hrmph, you youngsters are always into this young hip stuff.

 

Wait till you see what I am wrapping my fender with, #jdm


Any metal shop sells it, just need 90 elbow like this

$23 Upgr8 Universal 4-Ply High Performance 90 Degree Elbow Reducer Coupler Silicone Hose (3.0"(76MM) to 4.0"(102MM), Black)

https://www.amazon.ca/Universal-Per...ywords=90+elbow+4"&qid=1577930728&sr=8-5&th=1

plus a single 3" aluminum tube with a couple of bends and drain holes.

 

With some thick gloves and some practice you could use one of these and bend/mold PVC conduit into a nice near seamless piece..



PVC heater/bender... can rent them or borrow them from large electrical shops.

Heat gun for small touch ups..

 

I have access to tube bender up to 3" now, that's why the choice of aluminum sounds better than PVC to me.

 

Getting a graphic wrap?



Or the updated one?

 

If you're building it out of aluminum you should isolate it where it contacts any steel. The dissimilar metals will corrode.

 

Really after the suction cup mount but I’m interested in almost anything. If your looking to sell any of those I’ll take em

 

Let’s just get some HVAC pipe for ya. Couple elbows, self tappers and metal tape and you’ll be done in no time!

 

Enjoy the New Year!
