1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

This.

Batteries may also give wrong power which could reduce the life of high dolla items.

 

To be the dissenting opinion I use (mostly) two 4ah batteries for all my tools. Unless your working construction the two you have should be sufficient.

Only change I'd suggest would be the brushless compact saw if you can spend a little more.

 

Tenants called me. Faucet downstairs won't shut off, so he turned the angle stop and that won't shut off either. Now I have to replace all the angle stops in the condo.

Shitty part is, we have to turn water off to the whole complex.

 

Speaking of plumbing, my only wisdom is to buy plastic toilet seats as a replacement to the original when it breaks. The wood ones stain too easily unless you’re anal about cleaning the underside from splatter when taking a dump.

 

Centoco makes a wood seat with a plastic shell. Best of both.

 

Good advice. Is this the one you are referring to?

Yes sir. There's times when the other one is just plain too long to fit between stud bays.

 

On car gurus there are 14 2004 or newer 4runners with over 300k miles. There are no Kias with over 300k.

 

I pretty much only buy brushless tools are this point. The battery life and torque make it worth it.

 

I hate the brushless grinder cordless from Milwaukee, the brake on the drive is absolutely annoying; constantly seems like something is binding. I’ve ran it with no load and it just changes pitch for no reason like it’s hanging up on itself

 

Find the Main Vein (coming into your place) and slip a Shark Bite Shut Off on it. Now you’ll be able to sit back and drink beer and collect checks while doing the other valves in question.

 

I’ve gotta say, I feel like y’all reaaaaally undersold how sweet a new steering shaft seal is.

Figured I’d go ahead and replace that since it was easy to get to, with half the truck being torn apart and all.

 

Oh no you didn't! I talked about it several times!!

 

It’s unbelievable how much more quiet it is in the cab. I was shocked.

 

You probably wouldn’t do it if your coupler looked like mine....and this was 9 years ago.

 

That draft up the skirt feel better now?

Squeeze some Sylglide on the Topside of your new shaft seal (peel back carpet/fill in seal folds) and really hear how much more quiet it gets. I did this a few months back and I guess it slipped the radar with everyone. SUPER QUIET!

 

I read bits about this but I had not seen it mentioned with double cab people. Tell me more?

 

That is good to know I will avoid that one.

 

I think it’s so good, they’ve actually stickied it at the top of the forum. I just figured that it couldn’t make that big of a difference.

Boy was I wrong.

 

They used to call me Bubble Trouble!(again just a self proclaimed Alias)

pressure tested my welds on the resonators, one side had nothing, the metal stretching side needed a few go backs to the welding table.
O2 extensions came in today as well.
Started kroil spraying and starting to organize tools for weds; still need to find a long 3/8 ratchet extension. Pretty stoked, kinda nervous

 

You need a wobble end, or a straight extension?

Lowe's has those locking extensions. A set of em is like 25 bucks. Not sure how long you need?

Harbor freight has some 2 foot dudes.

 

I have a shorter wobble, but I do need a long dude for sure, that will be my mission tomorrow

 

Can someone with a BFF front bumper tell me what the actual size of the pod light cutouts are? By bumper has shipped, and I’m trying to order new lights ahead of time, but I don’t want to order ones that are too big.

 

@FirstGenVol bust out that tape measure

 

@Tundra2
Gitty up! I inherited my dads stand up tool box, always finding random shit(a really nice open face reel a few months ago)
But I went and checked the socket drawer...........
A two footer and one foot extension
Mission accomplished!

 

A big Dub!

 

Remind me in the morning. What lights are you considering?

 

I’m between Baja designs and Auxbeam
