Ontario BS Thread

I got curbside done within half hour but i was a special case.
Drove in, was nice to the manager and asked that ijust needed anti-sieze. Deemed it as an automotive essential and let me order it right then ane there.

Curbside has.gone to hell otherwise.
Waited a week.for a 4 pin trailer connector.

 

Depends on the store I guess. I got my shit within a day or so at princess auto. Homedepot though is another story. Was like 3-4 days which isn’t terrible. Amazon has just set the expectation to high.

 

Princess auto was quick to fulfill 2 of my delivery orders - been waiting almost 1 week for another order to ship.

However, they are now open for in-store shopping...I walked in and shopped just a few days ago.

 

Check your cabin filter. I noticed mine wasnt that cold this year and changed the filter. Made a substantial difference

 

Got My AC stuff now... and it just needed a little shot of 1234yf to get things blowing nice and cold again - Still going to replace the cabin air filter - but mail order car parts are a whole other story...

I went into the Hamilton store with a printed copy of my curbside order - Nice lady at the customer service desk cancelled all my items - and told me to get what I needed, almost seems like business as usual, except all the surplus isles are blocked off - Kelly said it was my fastest trip into the Princess in ages - Customer Service lady also said they were only about 700 orders behind at the moment...

 

Hey guys, long time! good to see everyone's safe and well. I just wanted to ask for some advice/opinions. As you can see Ive made some changes to the truck including a new suspension and some 33s. Also added some drawer storage in the bed, cheap running boards and ditch lights.


I recently got a MIG welder and hoping to make a bed rack anchored on 4 to 6 bushings (see reference images). I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get bushing kits (weldable or pre-welded threaded shank) like these in Canada? Also does anyone have a tube bender or know someone with one? Thank you for the help guys!

 

Try TMR Customs in Markham, they should have what your looking for.

 

Anybody have a favourite Bluetooth OBDII code reader / android app combo? Looking for something I can just leave in the glove box in case I need it when travelling...

 

Or just never take it out?

My Bluetooth OBDII reader is in the slot 24/7. Never had an issue.

I got a $17 cheapy on amazon. Has worked for years.

Torque Pro app is the way to go, you can put in custom PIDS for any sensor in the truck. I have both Transmission temp sensors reporting on mine.

It can also report code's and reset them. Very handy app, its like $5.

So I am in like what $22?

 

Huehuehuehue

 

I was just out for a stroll on the tec calendar, and low and behold my voice changed to an British accent.....

August 28th

"Hard core or out the door"..... you don't say o'l chap.. sounds in-doup-it-ably stunning..
Must be an American thing, those chaps have no scruples you know.
Bloody hell man, those Canadians must be in the muck...there a cheeky bunch..
Sounds like someone might get in a bit of a pickle out there..
I must get going now, popping out for lunch and a quick trip to the o'l dentist for a quick drill and fill....lol.

all bull a side, this sounds interesting, for those that don't know you can literally walk the trail and watch the going's on..
being on a Saturday it will be busy... hope to make this one as a spectator to see our Norlisk Jeep action

 

Just checked the calendar too. There's been a major change for the 19th....

 

sounds promising, do you know who is guiding and is there a limit to the amount of trucks. Its gonna be a long day I think...

 

No clue but I think the leadership will remain the same (it's a dictatorship in here anyways )
It was a newbie run, now it's a proper trail day which makes it too difficult for my current setup....

 

First mod.
Before:


After:



Gotta say, removing the grille on a Taco is super easy. I did something similar on my previous car (Forester) and it was a massive pita with broken clips all over the place.

I'm not sure of the light outside ring... might black that out later as well

 

It’s a Toyota club, you’ll see me doing Greens with Tacoma

Jeep won’t be ready till summer 2022

crap, I was changing for other thing via mobile calendar, we are still on track for newbie run - I’ll fix it tonight. Peter and I your guides as usual

 

Great! This time it'll be a democratic dictatorship then...

 

Looks great!

Gotta love those 1st mods

 

Yes your right. Thanks for the reminder.

and if all goes well Greens will be done this year calendar or not...anything is possible with a winch

 

I gave a walking tour to @honkonbobo he is excited to put 35s on now
