To clarify, it's online auto that do the discount not DHL.

Although that'd be nice. šŸ¤£

Ok, I did misunderstand. But probably an account with DHL would make it a bit more user friendly.
I really like online auto parts. Prices are a discount compared to here at any rate before the discount!!
Lately my spending has decreased. Addiction behavior is in many forms,
and I'm sure the algorithms of amazon and facebook aren't an accident. I went back thru amazon and car fuel
receipts from last 3 months. So reality check. Amazon is like crack, -oh I need this!, oh I need that!, death
by a thousand cuts. In the last decade it's been land cruiser parts, I got stuff all over the place.

Would be nice to see some improved free trade deals between Canada, EU, UK, Australia etc...

Something similar to between EU countries where you don't have any taxes / duties and hence also no extra processing fees.

It's a prime opportunity for countries to maybe put aside some petty differences in trade and unite into larger blocks to have stronger bartering positions :)

Our ****** Ladyboy leader has alienated our country so badly we were not even invited into 3 new international trade and military
agreements. You are right, we give our southern neighbours far too much power over us but we keep bending over, and it's easy for them.
3 yrs ago we had an outstanding gift from God when the invasion of Ukraine occurred, we could have created masterful economic
forever ties with the EU, but Ladyboy stepped on his dick and destroyed all hope of that.
Sorry for my lack of sensitivity, but I'm afraid filters are off this morning.

After hearing the plans for GuantĆ”namo Bay, my filters arenā€™t doing so well either.

But thatā€™s enough about politics. We need to save that for another place.

If you guys want this to stop, just come help me fix my cruiser. Soon as it's back on the road we'll get nice mild rainy weather again....LOL! :rofl:

Surprisingly the Mini with no-name asian summer tires is decent in the snow! Quite a surprise. Motor actually sits forward of front wheels which I think helps traction situation.

Previous owner put these on. Last thing on earth I thought would get traction on snow/ice.

I guess karma of my newly purchased snow blower wore off, it started to snow that first heavy dump here an hour after my brother got back from 2 months in Mexico. We have got over 30 cms. I measured it on the table out back the night before it snowed another 5-10 cm. Of course the Tundra broke down that Saturday night too. BJ74 impressed me with snow run to Nanaimo for parts.

Dammit. Enough already, we've had our week of winter lol

I hate the damn stuff. Does nothing but add work and stress.

"Oh but it's pretty" they say. Yeah well, so was Brittany, and look what a ****in' nightmare she turned out to be... :lol:
 
Got the pto today, **** sheā€™s a sweet little unit. Every part for a 60 series install minus the tcase gear. Thought about putting it in The bandeirante but Iā€™m now set on setting it up for a rear winch on the bj60. Next level beast. Walked on with my dolley to meet up in horseshoe bay. Forget to check the tire pressure on the dolley when I left super hung over this morning. 2psi f-u-c-k

I think I got a deadly deal. $300 including ferry and fuel.

Iā€™ll post pics tomorrow.

A good deal no doubt.

I am not sure if I would out it on the back, my experience is that you sort of need to be in the driver's seats running the throttle and clutch, which means unless you have someone with you as a spotter it's hard to tell if cable is bunching up etc.

I can imagine I would use a rear winch for moving things around the yard etc, when the truck stays stationary and the item gets dragged out... In those cases I think it would be easier if you can stand and keep an eye on the winch...

Maybe I'm just using it wrong šŸ˜…
 
Iā€™ve never had a winch bind up. Maybe over spoiling one side if you pulling from the left or right. And Iā€™m always inside my truck while operating the winch. I only have in cab controls for it. I use my 60 as a skider to pull logs around for my saw mill. So the rear winch would be ideal with log tongs. The other option is to put it on the bandeirante but Iā€™ll never 4x it. Too cool to smash up.

Letā€™s have a vote. Bandeirante or Cruiser???
 
The lovejoy clutch on the winch is just for free spooling to pull your line out. Everything else is operated in cab.

Cruiser. Youā€™ll work it then. Seriously though, reinforce that channel frame cause thatā€™s a
lot of force on a long lever between cross sections.
I have rear elec winch on 60. Itā€™s only done light rear pulls to get out of nose down stuck.
Nothing long or stressful. Never intended it to do more.

I made my own frame out of 3/16ths 5x2ā€ steel. It will be plenty strong.
 
Maybe if they were 36ā€-37ā€

I tried to follow a guy in Alberta with those on his 40. It was a farce, he literally ran circles around everyone. Not too big, those things eat torque cause they have so much traction.

Would be fun to try. I remember to that guy 'crushers' used to run them.

Edit. A cool 80 from Guam running them too. Reading about them, apparently they dig fast, so gotta go really easy or you end up stuck with diffs on dirt.

Yes, it was Wayne. He knew how to wheel! Back in the heydays, when everyone who had a cruiser were friends.
The Alberta crews were pretty hardcore.
