I can't belive how much snow we have gotten. Something like 3ft so far... Im over it now.. Im wishing summer was back!

anyways this weather is not the kind you want to be working outside in. Hopfally when the weatherman forcasts a non rainy non snow day soon we can do it then. I don't have a covered driveway

Call me if you need to get ahold of me quick 778-240-4113

The hell with the weatherman! Seriously. I want to hit that guy on the morning news in the throat.
Im pretty easy on the weekends, so just let me know your schedule and we can work around that and the pig-lovin weatherman.

I have a special hate for Wayne Cox. The guy changes his weather report for the week from one day to the next.

He should relocate to somewhere like Phoenix, where the weathermen have it easier.

"It's going to be sunny and bugger hot tomorrow."

Ha! you hate the late show global guy and I cant stand the early guy. I think its Mark Mudreeega (or something like that). ugh. friggin annoying.
Anyways...After about 3 months being here I really dont care for apartment condo living as I am really missing my tinkering. Oh, and I loath ICBC.

Haha welcome to the club. Down with ICBC!

Its funny when I have full insurance, but its cheaper to repair stuff on my own then pay the deductable and deal with the rate hike...NOT Screw them!

Use the gov't site for the weather guys! I usually use www.theweathernetwork.com but they are not as accurate..

haha, Its just horrid. You pay out the ass, and it seems like there are so many restrictions that no matter what you do, you get bent over hard. Coming from ON I was paying $80 a month for full coverage on a 99 Limited 4Runner. And well here...I dont even want to talk about it. haha.
Ah well, it is +6 here and not -20...so I guess everything gets evened out somehow.

That's right, your rig won't rust to death in a few years here like they do out east. You can still undo bolts underneath most trucks with hand tools, not the gas axe

Haha, ya, I got my truck out of there before it rusted away.

Jay, Ya, I would right like to chuck that thing on to help protect my wimpy auto trans. What days/times work for you typically? M-F for me I work till 3pm. So, not sure if a weekday will work due to the light going down around about 4:30 which is when I'd probably get there by?

Went by Toyota today and picked up a few litres of ATF, and will go by Cambodian Tire tonight to get a small enough funnel. Not sure if you would be up to do it on a weekend since it gets dark early and driveway tinkerin works best during daylight in my experience,,haha. I dont want to be a nusiance so let me know when you have free time. Im nic'in out for some wrenchin!

Well then! Lets go for it.. What time you thinking?

So, do you split the cooler lines at the rad and use t fittings to run to your new cooler? Or do you bypass the stock cooler...

Just have to interrupt the lines with new lines from the "to tranny" hard line and bolt the biatch up. Check the fluid, and fill as needed. Should be relatively straight forward with the exception of a few prick bolts as there usually are.haha.
What time were you going to mess with yours at? Im pretty flexible on the weekend. If youre not a morning person thats ok too!.haha.
