Re: What did you do to your rig today?
My Bora wheel spacers have been shipped and on their way. I also took advantage of the sale and ordered a snorkel through Z1. I'll order the adapter later

Not the truck but bought a new hood for my golf, found one on marketplace the same colour, no rust and best of all, no hail dents.

I ordered my ASFIR aluminum skid plates. I know there's a new ASFIR Canada reseller, but it's almost $700 cheaper to order from ASFIR directly. We'll see about any brokerage fees when they arrive.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Note. I got a call, »They're coming from the USA and willbe pre-charging brokerage fees, at a wonderful $400ish. I also got a FedEx bill for my wheel spacers. They want $90 for that.
I wanted to get another set of Rugged Rocks battery blocks, but on top of the $70USD cost, they want $46USD to ship those little things. And I'm sure there will be more fees on top of that. Not feeling like spending $200 on those...

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
I ordered the SuperPro offset bushings for the rear suspension. Despite being *barely* outside of spec, I'm told I'm ok, but I still want to err on the side of caution, especially since I do tow a lot, which squishes the rear suspension further. I'm also wondering if the wheel spacers will exaggerate the issue. Considering the price of those damn tires, it wouldn't be a bad idea to minimize any excessive wear.

My ASFIR skid plates arrived, but I also got a warning to get my exhaust fixed.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
My Flock gauges will be shipped soon to my friend in the USA, ahead of schedule and really excited to have them. I also ordered a set of Bilstein 4600`s for the rear. I don't like how bouncy it had become, thinking the Munroe shocks I installed to pass inspection are dead. I checked their price on RockAuto and were only $99 each, only $37 to ship both, and added the typical 5% discount code.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Finally got a sway bar for the rear to run some tests to get the front to cycle more. Just need longer adjustable links. Trailer is also 85% done.
How do we donate for membership renewals? The old link is 404'd. Need to do this before renewing OF4WD!

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
I am not sure why it says it is not accepting donations. I don't have access to the paypal account. @Pezzy @Morpheus can you help?

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
As for the truck. In the past week I replaced both torsion bars and a cracked exhaust header on my stock SC 5 speed. Wow it's so quiet now.
Guess that's what you get for $150 ebay headers lol.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Yeah, it feels pretty good! Just need to get an alignment now.
I really should get out on a trail this year...

We should hit up Minden before AW if you can swing it. I already plan on going to AW, booked my time off already. My son was born on August 22nd last year so was a non-starter.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
[image][/image]My plan is for AW this year, but I need sliders before I do. I`m being picky about the style and they either don't ship to Canada or haven't gotten back to me.I'd do the Coastal ones, but I don't want the kick out.
My truck now has cats in the exhaust, and my Flock gauges are officially on their way to my friend in the USA.
