Got a good deal on MTR's

-Brian

How do you find "just-jeeps"? I spied them off of the 400 and managed to swing by one day. Just picked up a relay and tow hooks....don't know any other "jeep" / "offroad" garages...

Had any problems with them?

There use to be another really good jeep joint in the 400/hwy 7 area, but last time I was there (2 years ago) the place was going down hill, More and more other makes of 4wd's and even a couple riced Toyotas sitting in the shop. Don't know what its like now though. Jeep Thrills is the name, use to have a website not sure if that works anymore either. Other then that... there's just jeeps as you know and another place which name slips my mind right now, but its in the Burlington area.

I see their ad in the Tri-Ad newspaper every week. When they were moving to the 400 location I happened to be in Toronto so I dropped in to check out the open house.

This weekend I was at a retirement party in Toronto and after about 6 hours of that I told my wife I was going to "slip out for a bit". They happened to be having another open house and the MTR's were on sale.

: Had any problems with them?

The tires? Not yet other than some squeeking in the back of my van while I drove home - they're not mounted yet. The store? Service was a bit slow but once I had someones attention they were very helpful and friendly. I've never had any work done there but they must be pretty good - several members from the London area Jeep club go there for parts and service so if they're willing to drive 2 hours, they can't be too bad.

I just hope 31's are big enough, I ended up with 6" lift on my XJ... I know they won't be rubbing!

There are two Jeep shops in that area and both have 'attitudes' some days.

Hey some days they are great, but other days, well.... Let's just say make sure you have your parts in your hands before paying for them and get the damn receipt for any warranty work on parts you buy.

There is another shop off Warden near Eglinton called Ontario RV that specializes in Jeeps. He has a full machine shop and so far has impressed me.

Your 31s should be plenty big, even though they might not look it under

Get some good skids for the lower control arm brackets and the diffs (ideally covering rear pinion too), maybe raise your rear shock mounts, and then enjoy your gaping body clearance as you plough through the tobacco fields.

Think he wanted the 31's and 5 inch lift for plowing through the snow drifts..lol

Errrr 6 inch lift...

Yes, mostly flat and 'farmy' lol. All the local rigs have to take a number for their turn to climb the single rock in our region. On the other hand, it's wise to disco to navigate the potholes. The tobacco fields have been replaced by hemp... when you high centre in the ruts, the heat from the exhaust burns the hemp and you better have some munchies handy.
