In the interest of transparency, I wanted to follow up. I am pleased to say that Brad and my business has concluded with my refund in hand. While i can be wrong about people, I genuinely believe that Brad is not intentionally creating this reputation, and it is a result of bad...

Nothing good to report yet. No commitments to timelines or sign I'm getting the refund yet.

In the interests of being transparent, Mr. Red Dog has reached out to me with the intent to make good on the refund. There is as of yet no timeline or plan for it, however the communication started again.

It's been a long time, and I just wanted to share my thoughts on this bumper and my experiences with it. Firstly, the bumper itself is amazing! Built well, and tough, it looked good and it was everything needed in a trail bumper. The challenges are with Red Dog himself. The initial purchase...

A foggy night recently resulted in some cool shots.

After a bit of juggling, the wheels finally arrived. I ordered a set off Tdot performance for black friday and new it was a bit of a risk. As late as two weeks ago there was no timeline on the wheels. A set of fortunate events had the KMC rep here in western Canada reach out and get me on the...

Tomorrows project is to attach the new running board lights under the truck. There were lights in the running boards, but they were rusted and had nowhere to attach. I disconnected the running board harness and shortened it up to fit these little janky brackets I made for the rock lights...

Just in time for my recent Birthday, the bumper we had long since ordered, and the front Grille had come in. The bumper is still missing 4 Diode Dynamics light pods, and they'll be mounted in between the round bars on both sides of the bumper. The lights you do see are wired to the stock...

Not satisfied with the running boards on her, we set out to find a usable set that still increases clearance. I still need the steps since we still take care of the inlaws. I found a set off a Gen 3 4Runner, and quickly set to cleaning them up. Since the rust was bit more than I liked, I went...

Shamefully decals were the first mods, but if you've seen any of my builds the racing stripes are usually the first mod on my cars anyway. No racing stripes here, just a love for my country, and a poke at the Yota drivers. Other parts were on order at this point, but as everyone is familiar...

The title is a bit misleading. This is a project that my better half and I are working on together. She has her FRS up for sale and wanted a reliable car to get places in the snow. We still take care of her parents and for the 1 week of snow we seem to get yearly in Calgary, we still wanted to...

Got a new set of wheels and tires this weekend. Truck is stock ride height with the Red Dog Fabrication front bumper. Wheels are KMC Dirty Harry's, in 17x9 -12 Offset. Tires are Goodyear Duratrac 255/75 17's. Even with the running boards removed there was still just a tiny bit of rubbing...

I got the grille a couple weeks back and I wanted to report that overall I'm very happy with the product and the expectations set of the process. The grille looks good and the insert arrived packaged well also. The grille was packaged in bubble wrap and looked well made. There were a couple...

The political spectrum is the same here in Canada. The major difference is that in general our parties trend slightly more left wing than America based on my overall feeling. So as an example our Progressive Conservatives are slightly less conservative (right) than the Republicans. We have more...

Very much the case. It's just a political power play from our extreme right wing (we have 5 and sometimes 6 parties to choose from Federally) political party after a poor showing in the last election.... and of course every news outlet has a spin on it.
