Yeah I know how that feels!! I've had 3 windows busted out already too!!
#124
Humm...3 windows? wow that's insane..how much did you pay for them? I went to ICBC, paid $300 deductable..On invoice, total cost of fixing my window was $580. ...man with that kind of money I would get a Custom bumper or something else for my baby. I know your deductable cost is diffrent but what if it was my case.

Some decent prices on OME stuff would be nice. I went to Sport trucks unlimited in Langley once, and when I told them (and later showed on Yotatech) what OME lifts are worth, they had to admit that they could get nowhere close with the price.
Run on sentence, but to lazy to fix it.

I've been watching this thread and kicking myself everytime you guys get out on the trails but it seems that I just can't make it whenever you guys do... of course this weekend is no different. There is a small chance I will actually be free on Saturday but I won't know till Friday afternoon. If it works out I'll give you a buzz.
On another note, I saw your rant over at BC4x4 and that sucks! I was just about to ask you where you get your work done but after reading your post it may not be the best place to go. I think about biting the bullet and just taking it to the stealer too, but from some of the stories I've heard they can't be trusted to do the work either.
Have a good time this Saturday if I can't make it, sounds like this great weather may be coming to an end on Sunday.

yo jesse man...
im always down to head out anywhere...schedules pending of course. just got some junk fixed so im good to go again whenever whoever is free. whats everyones freetime situation lookin like the next few weeks? i may also have more free time to head out (mostly squamish area-ish..the MIL moves out to west van next month so she can watch the kidlets) so lets work somethin out. chris? dave? what about you guys? black tusk looks fun...stocker friendly too with other places to play along the side i think...im sure theres more.
ed...we ended up goin up norrish creek to harrison west. quite the day... pics are here. tore both outer boots coz i was an idiot & didnt tie my disco endlinks up n out of the way
good times though. and that shop i was venting about was allen autotech in burnaby. nice guy n all...but i just felt somewhat cheated and when i confronted him...he just became an a$$holio. so now i do ALL the work myself, if not then to the dealer it goes.
colin: i got my arb from trdparts4u.com i picked up directly in auburn WA . (about a 2 hr drive each way) so no shipping was paid. 650USD. after taxes & currency conversion (for some reason, i didnt pay duty
), i payed just under 9 bills. saved 350-400 from buying locally. my buddy with another 3rd gen got his from NSOR, and the hilux in the link posted above got his ARB+M8000 combo put on by the importer where he got it. outback imports i think. not sure of their prices, but im guessing quite a bit more since they both bought locally, even with whatever discounts they got. nsor in quoted me about 11 or so. national4wd was about 1060. not sure where the closest US city for you would be, but it may be worth it. you'd have to pay to ship though, but you'll only pay the 1 tax...

Anyways I've been pretty busy with renos. I'm going to have to get a hold of Jesse's buddy Steve to move my gas line.
I'm cleaning out my garage and I have a FREE SMITTY built brush bar from my old runner. The kicker is that it hit a pole. Its still in pretty good shape, but the lower bar is bent to hell. A good welder would be able to fix it. hint hint. So if any of guys want it please take it off my hands. I'll throw in a unopened K&N oil.
#138
