1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Now i'm wondering where I put those 78's. Must be a bunch of records around here someplace...

 

Shifted through all the gears letting the truck "pull" in the direction of gear. Fully engaging each gear.

Either my "flat spot" isn't flat enough, I've over filled, or I'm getting an inaccurate read.

How slowly should I pull the dipstick out?

 

Did you go drive it? Take her for a gentle cruise and maybe stop at a church or somewhere flat, and check it hot

 

Didn't drive.

See this is why I was afraid of this job. I'll take a gentle stroll down the road to the "bottoms."

 

The thing was LOADED with 78s from 1900-1920

 

BONUS.

 

Aww, you missed out on depression party music. Some good stuff then. Maybe you got roaring '20's party music though?

 

Take some fluid with you JIC(just in case)

 

One of our instructors, Amos, at tech school, rode a honda gold wing 1600 I believe, with oxygen strapped to the back rack, would blare that kind of music, doing 90 down the freeway to and fro school.

 

You got this. Hand Model made a good point that the dipstick isn't an exact measurement.

If you drained the fluid cold and refilled the same amount it should be fine. But i agree the test drive is a good idea.

 

The bottoms.

The house from the bottoms.

I like. You like?

 

Well, I let the engine warm up to change my overdue oil, and then once it was changed, and good. Let it warm up a second time to warm the transmission back up. Drained after warm up.

Edit: I must have missed that PHM guideline.
I did notice that it depended on how I removed the dipstuck as much as being on a level surface. Time for celebratory drive.

 

I think PHM likes it even further up le stick! But that looks pretty sweet to me! Also the country side looks amazing! Ours is always brown. Does your family mainly fish, or hunt too? I bet that’s prime deer country

 

Prime deer country indeed. Hence the deer guard on the front of my truck.

We mainly fish, and we used to hunt. I was the only child interested in those activities. Once I got old enough to be employed the hunting was phased out in favor of fishing.

I have plenty of stories to tell about my hunting days if you would like to swap stories some time.

 

This is my first panorama in a real long time.

Don't hate me cuz I sucked at it. Lol

 

Correction. Found more. All the way to the 40s

 

Also. There’s another one in the barn. Buried. Looks way worse... might try to save it

 

Found this to be extremely inspirational today. Amid my "I made a lil boo-boo." Moment.

 

Was digging around in old files looking for something else, and happened across these gifs I made last year in August. Felt like sharing.

 

Cruise last May. This is somewhere between Miami, and Key west. Maybe its leaving Key west?

 

Nice man, i turned 21 a couple days ago. Went straight to binnys and bough a few different ipa's and a milkshake ipa! Enjoy

 

So in your opinion, does a red truck with black wheels call for blacking out the chrome grill/bumpers?

 

Whats your opinion? Thats all that counts.

Because you asked: I like chrome and think blacked out bumpers and wheels look goofy.

 

I was trying to look at your build page so I could actually see your truck again, but...

 

Yeah, I get that. I guess really what i want to ask is does anyone have photos of a tundra that went to black wheels but kept the chrome bumpers/grill and then went ahead and blacked out the latter pieces.

Wish I could photoshop.

 

Not sure why that it???

 

You could do the plastidip and take it off if you don’t like it. Post up a pic and I’ll see if I can color it in for you.

 

Plastidip was what I was thinking. Easy to remove.

 

Same error for me. It's weird, I was able to look at your profile a week or two ago, it's how I found pics of your fender flares so I could understand what issues you were dealing with w/o asking you to post more pics.
