Bring a right axle, the left will break. Whatever you bring, it will be the thing you didn't bring that breaks. Looking forward to sat phones becoming more affordable. Until then food and water and blankets for as many days as you think appropriate

Been a slow week here in Sioux. Aside from running crackheads from the hotel parking lot.

In Ontario until next weekend. Message then.

I might have something ? gimme a shout if you want to come have a look.

I'll ask my friend what he's getting. New enough vehicle it probably has the fuel mileage on the dash . He's back and forth to Port McNeil fairly often towing a boat, pretty flat run tho.

Big thing is getting a handle on their abbreviations for colours. Sometimes they aren't what you'd think was obvious.

Fuel economy and Tundra in same sentence is oxymoron. Tundra - 5 hrs to replace alternator if you know what you are doing and cut a literal hole in the outer wheel well. Don't even want to talk about starter replacement. The baby duramax is...

Between that and Tundra, no contest. Tundra is junk.

My step brother has baby dmax and is towing Bigfoot I n Yukon right now. He loves it.

Friend has a 2016 Colorado with the 4 cyl Duramax. Gets great milage and has 5 speed. Towed a 16' enclosed utility trailer from Michigan UP to Rapid City SD , then up the mountain to his house. No issues. Loves the truck. I'd look at that...

Just had mine apart. I created my own mess but I have hopefully got a nice connector rebuild set. Best to do is isolate first. LABEL everything. If I unplug a switch when it comes off the dash it gets plugged back in but generally plugs are...

Stolen? Crap I can barely get the thing off when I got time. Then why would you need the entire harness? What’s the problem with it?

Just a show, but there are lots of vendor booths, so sure, why not, bring your crap! :)

Yes, although we haven't talked about it much in recent years. You are more than welcome to bring parts to the 'swap meet' :) Just remember, no leaky transmissions on the grass! LOL :beer:

Good idea asking. There usually is some kind of day trip right around the Cruiser Days in July on the 19th. Also the July 5th 4WD assoc car show is a 4WD event. Sign up, show up and ask around. Guarantee you'll be maxing your visa at the fuel...

When my 2024 and 2025 free time happened to converge with good weather I always ended up crawling over, under or inside the LX470 I bought in Nov. 2023. At this point I'm tired of fixing, maintaining, anti-rusting, modifying, skinning knuckles...

My parts have all been repaired, new parts have arrived, so barring catastrophe I shall be coming over from the island! I may have some odd and ends parts to sell. Is this allowed? lay on the grass with prices? won't be much but I really...

web surfing between workouts and work. still trying to figure out if this jig is for sale. Pretty genius. Really need to learn this new(!) technology 3D printing stuff. These guys are based in Alberta, Canadian made welding jig that is pretty...

Is there a parts swap meet component to this or just show?

Hey Cruiserheads, Let's head to the 4WDABC show-n-shine on Saturday, July 5! We'll ask for a row to be set aside for us again. Let's meet up at Save-On Mission at 9:30, head out at 10:00am to the show which is 5min away at Heritage Park...

Yup, just cancelled another CC for that exact reason. #8 in 3 yrs. Some kinda record. Somehow my domain name has been sold off.

Frankenstein is an understatement. :popcorn:

I see a guy, Will Smit selling all kinds of LC parts on FB. Has a good rating. Is he on here and if not does anyone know him?

It's pretty typical for these motors. Venting pre turbo can wear out the compressor. I vent mine into frame. Cleaning a filter in the valve cover or buying the updated valve cover helps a lot. Generally if the motor starts easy and clean then...
