That lil bish is still there...hasnt moved, lookin purdy in the grass

 

That can't be good. Sitting in the grass that is.

 

I just got back from VMUTS. I only went to the mine, I don't want to do anything too crazy without a winch (can't get one until I sell my Mustang). I forgot how nice the Mattawa and area are.
I agree with earlier posts that the maps needs to be updated. I entered from Murphys road and started on #11 only to come to a "no truck" sign. But the trails are nice and the shelters and outhouses are a welcome site.
As I was leaving the trail system there was an elderly french couple in a small car trying to find Mattawa. I quickly turned them around.

 

Yea just last weekend they were constructing that new shelter at the mine. It is the most popular spot on VMUTS.

 

What ended up being the fix? Replacement sensor?

 

It hasn't come back back so I'm guessing that's what it was.

 

Aux fusebox and relaybox is done

 

See you everyone at tomorrow mall crawl meet in Hamilton!

bonu picture, rare sight of @Joe23 truck!

 

night photos!

 

since the Straightpipes released a offroading video with the raptor SVt (unpaved highways so it seems from the video)
but does anyone recognize where they drove?

Secondly; they mention Canadian made rims (released with the video) BlackHorn offroad out of Concord, ON (Vaughn area)
nice looking rim but only sized in 17x9 with a positive 12 offset

The truck already has over fenders that make the truck look like this when it's stock

i need a hair of poke for it to look normal. i emailed the company to see if they could make a 16x8 with a -12 offset that way i don't need to mess around with spacers

 

A couple pics of my trip to VMUTS. As I said, I didn't take many so nothing interesting in this one.


This is where I suffered the indignity of being winched out by a jeep.

 

Ha ! You're as crazy as us going to visit friends in Nepean for a day trip !

 

Ayo boys, it's been awhile.

Still out here looking for Taco but it seems they sell a day or two after landing on the lot

Check out this trailer I spotted today!

 

spoke with a few dealerships about 2 weeks ago or so, they are waiting for new Tacomas to come in around the end of October...

 

The orange Cobra ACXT645 radios are now on sale for $80 a pair:

$80 Cobra ACXT645 Waterproof Walkie Talkies - Rechargeable, 22 Channels, Long Range 35-Mile Two-Way Radio Set, Black and Orange (2-Pack)

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01CTUIUFK/ (they were $135 when I bought them)

 

That is a CB radio, not a GMRS 'walkie-talkie' like what @3JOH22A posted.

 

Well in my defense, I'm an idiot.

 

Most of us run Walkie talkies (i personally run the Motorolla T402) and we've not had too huge of an issue with them (Ganaraska winter run when we had some troubles when the 1 group split into 2) Costco Ancaster had a bunch for sale for $80


there are a few guys that have CBs as well, so it's not a huge waste or anything. but i've only seen them used once out of the dozen or so group runs that i've done and it was used as a relay between the 8 guys with walkies, the one guy that didn't have one, and the one guy that had both.

 

There is a lot to know when it comes to radio's, so do not feel bad.

Easy way I know the difference right off the top, # of channels. CB has 40, GMRS has 22

 

My crew runs CB although it seems as though most are moving away from that
