Ontario BS Thread

Man, she's a beauty!

 

That is one sweet looking truck !

 

New phone just got delivered

 

Not a sticker guy but I just might do it

 

Is this the official ARB TEC sticker placement?

I can apply one

 

That is kind of what I’m thinking… Colour coordination and 2 great brands

 

thats faaancy

at least you can check under the truck, toss the FLIR on and it lets you know if the exhaust is hot or not before you touch it!

Branding? @Norilsk how many twitter followers do we have? we gotta expand into #TEC LIFE T-shirt branding and make some designs like WD and his Hilux T-shirt!
add to that list thermal mugs that fit into our cup holders as well as rugged laptop sleeves that can be used as a double edged bottle opener and MAXTRACKS



oh and we need to buy out the "ARDBEG" booze name and slap out spin on it.



ARDBEG
Authentic and Natural Ethenol and tire rubber taste

 

Gurus, Tell me why this:

Is better than a single AAL

 

Multiple thinner leafs will give a more progressive resistance, the more it arches the more springs come into play. i.e. 1" deflection 400lbs force 2" defection 800 lbs force

One thick spring 1" deflection 400lbs force 2" deflection 400lbs force (example numbers only)

 

Did some more fiddling... and soap tested, added a temp connection to the solenoid (waiting for some waterproof connectors to come in)

Two RH pieces of tubing I just bent over for pressure testing (don't have enough plugs), Outer one will be for the tank and drain, and inner will go to the air hookup...

I'll be painting the copper pieces black once I'm done fiddling....



The tubing is not clamped between the compressor until in front of the windshield washer bottle to deal with the compressor vibration, it's rigid enough to not flop about so we'll see if I have to add a flexible line later....

Now to collect some more parts.....

 

Do you have a check valve between the compressor and the manifold?

 

Have an old bench that lasted longer than I thought it would so it was time to replace the broken slats with new ones.

 

...out of wood? Enjoy your $600 bench

 

I get a lot of form plywood from work. They throw large cut-offs away because it's cheaper to get rid of than have people waste time moving it around the jobsite.

 

Guess the Cat’s outta the Bag now as to how you acquired them then.

 

I have one, just not installed yet.

 

Just completed over 50 km of cutting/mowing with my BUSH HOG 3815 https://bushhog.com/flex-wing/3815-flex-wing-rotary-cutters/ over the last 2 weeks. Trails, roadsides, agricultural accesses and dyke tops.

The first picture shows the beaver dam site that TEC members @Atlas86 and @tacoma16 helped me battle. As an update we ended up having an excavator in the marsh doing dyke repair work and I got the operator to remove the dam and the beaver house.

The second picture is a reminder to keep your air intakes clean. This is Grass seed from dyke mowing on my tractor air filter box. I always carry a Milwaukee electric leaf blower to keep filters clean but more importantly keep the rad blown out.

 

I build things for charity.

 

Wow what a difference in the amount of water!

I remember I use to have to blow out the rads on the tractors at my families farm. Cutting grass and the dandelions would just block it.

 

Picked some some used side steps from @#Scotch and Brass yesterday, who was kind enough to drive one third of Ontario to meet me (thanks again)

I installed them this morning, and Im pretty happy with the outcome. They are way overbuilt and probably could've did without that bar underneath, but the ground clearance measured out to 13.5 inches.

How much longer until I'm over GVWR?
