    Pickup Trucks

    That’s why I love my disposable Mav! It’s a pickup that drives very close to a car!

    Pickup Trucks

    I read about that! 300hp in a Maverick would be fun. People open up those motors through COBB and have good results. The suspension is of most interest to me.

    TV shows currently watching

    IASIP is really dropping off on S7….having trouble with the episodes as you can see the quality of the video going up, but the episodes are just painful to watch at times.

    Pickup Trucks

    So….should I lower it? Love the truck but wouldn’t mind a bit tighter suspension / response from the truck. Current went from 225 -> 235 and it helped, but wondering how I can tighten it up more without (or without) lowering it. Torsion bars? Theres a few suspension kits but they all drop...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    That’s what I had to do. Hand tighten in the air, lower, torque, lower fully, and torque. Lesson learned. Taking off is easy with the electric impact as it doesn’t spin the wheel, but I never torque by impact gun just by hand with torque wrench.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Winter tires onto the Mav today. Windy as hell but def easy peasy with the QuickJack. Although I learned when both wheels are off the ground….P and electric brake don’t prevent front wheels from rotating in opposite directions….

    Just get the permanent ones. One and done! Half our house gets the lights on, because I’m too scared of heights to go up there on the second half of the house.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    All we need is to NOT allow people from the GTA to take their tests in the boonies, and that will help a lot. Right now you've got people that live in Toronto / Mississauga / Brampton / Scarborough that will hire these 'guaranteed to pass' schools to take them to Barrie, Waterdown...

    Pickup Trucks

    100% I'd like something solid and safe for the pup to be transported in. As @oioioi another minivan might be the next step! LoL

    Pickup Trucks

    So I guess next cross post topic… How can one safely transport a dog with a pickup truck? If the dog is small enough it goes inside with kids…any bigger and may need a kennel in the bed to keep it safe but out of the way. That cap (thankfully) got sold, so I’ll keep my eye open still for a...

    Pickup Trucks

    Yes, that's why I'm curious how @GreyGhost would set this up. He's smart, I'm dumb...but I do know more pulleys work. In all honesty may be more work setting it all up instead of just loading it by hand bombing. My little Maverick has a bed payload capacity of 1,500lbs...so I'm sure it could...

    Pickup Trucks

    Sounds like a lot of work….plus lifting a whole pallet by hand via rope….eek!

    Pickup Trucks

    There are definite pluses and minuses to both options. I like the cap as it allows for much more space that is 'protected' compared to the hard cover I have now. In addition, as we're still considering a dog...a kennel for travel would much better be suited within the enclosed cap instead of...

    Pickup Trucks

    It doesn't look THAT bad...let's see what seller says as I reached out to see if it's still sold or not. Appears to be aluminum so would immediately paint it, and potentially cut the bottom down a few inches to level it with the cab.

    Pickup Trucks

    Those are the same caps and I wanted to go see it...but it's already sold. Looks horrid on the truck (I pass it on the way to work), but it's probably because it's installed backwards. Someone dropped a deposit on it already.

    Pickup Trucks

    So looking to the general group here...love my Maverick but sometimes wish I had a tad more space in the bed, and potentially looking at a cap for my truck. These things are ludicrously expensive (3-5k minimum) with some options through Alibaba (or other such sites) where cost is 2k CAD or...

    Anyone sold a cemetery plot?

    Wow...didn't even consider there's a market for re-sale of burial plots. Will we need real estate agents for these deals? 5% off the top?

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Oh that def can get annoying. Although I’m leaning toward believing her as the pump will have a min temperature setting so it’ll come on at night to maintain temps in my understanding. Buddy keeps his at a min 80F as that’s what’s required…which seems excessive to maintain as basically...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I'm sure @Mikedezo44 could tell us what the used hot tub market is like nowadays...probably a bit more slow compared to peak COVID insanity. There was also a user that had a 110V inflatable installed...but IIRC those sucked during the coldest of days as they took forever to heat the water up...
