1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Oh... those fuckers are just as bad as mice... check for wiring damage

 

His voice makes me want to jump out of a window. he does give decent advice tho but I usually don't make it far enough. Toyota maintenance isn't a whole lot better. But first gen offroad is A1. Just my personal opinion and you are allowed to have your own.

 

oh just fucking wonderful... the roofs offically shot

 

I checked and didn’t see anything luckily.

 

Flat roof or shingles?

 

You should be ashamed! You didn’t provide a watering station for this guy. Otherwise he would still be alive. At least give him a proper burial!

 

Aw hell, it's just a crispy critter.

I believe the windshield washer bottle and antifreeze overflow tank was available to the little guy, if he couldn't open it and drink then it's his own fault

 

Shingles.

 

That picture made me feel drunk for a second. Hope the roof isn't too bad to fix.

I finally took the 2 hours to repair my leak in the garage. Not my best work but its better than what whoever did a repair last did. The elbow and no slip coupler in the second pic was sketchy, so much insulation and my fire proof rag started smoking. Plus there was some kind of communication wiring right behind it with a lot of tension, I couldn't move that out of the way.

I used the blue L grade copper, shouldn't get a leak again. The previous used red M grade, thats thin crap that I only use for outdoors.



The pin hole was somewhere here

 

Sucks. We do silicone on flat roofs, no issues.

 

Well, my friend Wyatt got himself another rig today.

 

He's the one that just rolled the 4R right? You couldn't talk him into a clean DC FGT for a fraction of the price?
Good looking Pro though.

 

I always picture Buck Teeth under the front bumper when I see these from the side angle.

 

Break out the rubber bushing and snake clamp ala @FrenchToasty


Never knew his type repair was possible until seeing it.

 

Yeah, He just rolled his new '18 Tacoma. I tried, and failed to convince him into a V8 FGT. He is one of those fellas who has to have a "new" truck.

Just imagine me, and you'll be right on the money. Buck tooth hillbilly strikes again.

As dad would say, the one tooth bandit.

 

I thought it over, beats being scared to light a house on fire but I called upon my skills from the past.

 

New is no fun.

unless that. New is a Lexus IS500

not going to lie. That car... it tempts me. But I’m not sure I want to drop 60k on a new car.. even if it is a 472hp beast.

 

It was passed down from elders.....
It’s hilarious because said elder went and did one of these repairs on Monday(most work he will do all year) and got called back because it was still leaking. The other plumber gave us a pretty awesome show of what he looked like doing it. And all of us were in tears because we all know this elder only has one good eye..............

I bet @Darkness knows some good plumber tricks, the old wet rag trick is my tried and true for burning around sketchy flammable things. I’ll take some better pics next time MacDowells has a side job for me.

 

I keep eyeing the salvage auctions for wrecked 5.0 lexus vehicles. I really can't afford a new F model. A quality donor shoved into a sc430, is or maybe even a ls430/460. A taco on 35's with a 5.0 sounds sexy imo

 

Anyone running 255/80r17 tires? And do the rub at all?

 

Are those the really skinny 33s?

 

Also, had anyone removed their hitch receiver? Ive never towed anything and dont really plan too, and I was thinking it would look cleaner without it.

 

I removed mine, and cleaned it up when I had my bed off. I put it back on though. I don't mind the two inch square hole underneath the bumper because I have a Hitch step in it.

Edit: My bolts, and nuts were rusted. I had to cut them off. Y'all have no water over yonder. You should be rust free.

 

skinny.. not really really skinny

 

When I look under I just see the 4 receiver bolts, is there more too it?
