Ontario BS Thread

I pick mine up next week will be working on the build throughout spring.
So I'll be down for summer meets.
I'm in Toronto but don't mind going on a bit of a weekend trip around southern ontario. Hell I'm usually up in the Kawartha/Minden area every weekend

 

Hey is the snow run still happening? I was super excited about it.

 

Went and checked it out today to see what it was like and snow runs can definitely happen.


Everyone down for Saturday January 7 at 11-12?

 

I might be down.

 

Anyone here a member of OF4?

 

Next Saturday. It's going down

What's of4?

 

Pete, what tires are those? I just put my Duratracs on for winter.

like $50 a year, loads of trails.
was with them when i had a jeep going to join again this summer
lots of great trails in the minden kawartha area

 

I'm down,

 

They are cooper st max. Been pretty happy with them. Pretty much any all terrain is going to be great in the snow compared to a mud tire. Mud tires are just scary in the winter.

Oh I know that spot. Great organization. I didn't know of4 lol. Definitely know ofwd. Going to join next year for the trail maps.

Awesome.

 

Updated the op with some details of where we are meeting (we will meet here). Thinking we will meet at 12 on Saturday January 7th, 2017.

Where'd you get the Cooper's from? I'm trying to find a set for a good price. Canadian tire is quoting me $1890

 

I got five tires in an odd ball size (255/85/16) for $16XX mounted, installed, out the door. Got them at JD tire in Milton Ontario. Great guys. I was trying to get them from the importer and these guys were still cheaper lol.

Hey Tacoma16 should I bring anything for recovery, I have a feeling you'll be pulling me out a lot.

 

Yeah, never hurts. I have stuff, but bring your own stuff just so we can keep everything hooked up ready to go.

That's half the fun is getting stuck. It's clean mud lol

 

Sweet, we're abouts is the course ?

 

I'll check them out. I'm looking for 275 70 17
How do you find the 255? I was considering a 255 80 17 but not overly fond of needing to cut new truck

But it's less trimming than I'd need for a 285. Plus daily driving for work need to try and keep some MPG

 

I have a 3 inch suspension lift so I didn't have to trim anything. If I flexed it hard enough without the swaybar I'm sure I would rub but the 255's are great. They are taller than a 285 but are skinnier so mileage didn't hurt too bad. Been very happy with the extra height.

I think on a stock Tacoma 265's are as big as you can go without cutting. Had that size as well and was very happy with them.
255's on 3inch suspension

265's On 3 inch lift

265s stock kinda sagged in the rear in this pic though.

 

I've got a fox lift on order probably going 2.5-3 inch
Just trying to pick tyre size.
275 is 32 so overall only 1/2 inch difference for ground clearance. My cousin runs them on his FJ they seem to work fine.
