Canada BS thread

Does your Ford know you're hanging out on Tundra forum

 

Pretty sure Wile E. doesn't care. He's busy shopping for catapults and dynamite.

 

Catapults you say! I make traditional, natural slingshots from harvested hardwoods.

 

Not sure I'd be advertising the manufacture of such an arsenal if I were in Canada.


Jokes aside, that's freaking cool!

 

Ended up with some pop top beer cans, havent seen these since AGD stopped doing it.
Its “Pete’s Pils”, in dedication to Peter Lougheed legacy in the creation of Kanaskis country in Alberta, which is a truely amazing place.

 

Haven’t heard that name in a while. Times have changed. Have one for me.

 

And then there was 1. I sold my 2007 SR5 RCLB 2wd last week. I had it on sale on usual Craigslist,
Kijiji and usedvictoria ( used..) depending on what city you are in BC. 4 months, nothing but VIN report scams. Not a single legitimate enquiry from May until Sept. so last Monday I drove it to Vancouver to lend to a friend. I said use it as you need it, maybe you’ll have better luck on FB Marketplace. I’m just not keen on getting into the FB crap.
So Wednesday morning he posts it with about 6-7 pics. That’s at 8:30. By 11:00 hrs got two guys asking, at 11:30 the one guy comes by for test drive. Immediately asks ‘cash or cheque’? Bought it with cash asking price by 4:30!
So FB Marketplace is the new buy-sell. To be honest not sure who was more surprised, me or Scott. He figured it would be at least a few days. I’m just happy. I kept the expensive Coopers I bought for it, swapped onto the 2010. So for about $1750 difference I went from a 2wd 5 speed truck to a 3 yr newer 4wd 6 speed truck and from a 4.7 to a 5.7.
Couldn’t be happier! The guy got a good truck. To be honest it drove smoother than the 4wd but it won’t get me thru another winter. I kept the fancy turn signal/puddle light mirrors I got for $75 on the 2010 too. Crazy!



so long!



Already got all new brakes in boxes, lowering kit and airbags. New wheels. I’ll build my own side bars. Already have an idea for serious rock slider protection with detachable side steps so the old lady can still get in and out.
Half heartedly looking at an Airstream now. Gross at 4600 lbs. so easy for the 5.7 I expect.

 

i am anti facebook as well but you are right, its the place to buy/sell.
Your new truck is going to look so good lowered.

 

Not to derail, but on the FB thing. I have sold a bunch of stuff. List on both Kijiji & fb marketplace in the last few years. I’d say 3/4 of my sales came from FB. More sales and faster. My 2c

 

For some reason, after my wife listed the car I was selling on FB, I started getting legitimate interest on Kijiji too, though I ultimately sold it to someone who found the ad on FB.
