1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

You have an alloy GG?!!? Fully sick.
(The carbon Pivot is ok too.)

 

Yup, did it last year a couple of months after buying my Tundra. It's staying that way.

 

With the seats all the way up I could fit about 6 Tattos back there!

 

it's toast. half of the mounting points are screwed up from the deer impact.

 

Get a 6 foot bed mat and a 2 foot tool box

 

If you upgrade the front axles, the diff becomes the next weakest link. Do some CVJ axles and keep the old ones for trail spares if you so desire (or I’ll totally buy an old one)

 

Nein. Use the full 8ft a lot actually

 

Oh, didn’t realize the new bumper was necessitated by a meat maker incident... thanks!

 

Here's what you do.

1) buy a 6 foot bed mat
2) find a black Tundra
3) tie one end of the 6 foot mat to the back bumper of the black Tundra
4) get in, apply full throttle on a designated test course
5) measure how far the 6 foot mat has stretched, repeat if necessary until 8 feet has been reached.

Mods, maybe make this one a sticky?

 

Hmm... grey trucks have more torque though?

 

@ColoradoTJ

May lose my credibility on this one.

 

I thought white attracted the most dirt, therefore more drag= slowest

 

Didn't Mythbusters do some sort of clean car dirty car test, and found dirty cars had better mileage?

 

That's interesting. I remember the episode where they tested MPG with air conditioning on vs driving with windows down. Back when we had Hailey(hail damaged Corolla) I liked to think it was more aerodynamic with those dents. Like a golf ball.

 

Dude I love driving my moms 05 gmc duramax; it’s white too.....
it’s so fast, the brakes are pretty scary!

 

I have a new record. Spent 4 1/2 hours on the phone waiting to talk to the right person at the IRS after being transferred 3 times. They can’t even give me the correct dept name because it’s just collections and each one has different levels of access. What’s worse is that I don’t even owe them. SMH

 

Thanks, I’ll mention that to her.
Is the exhaust brake function something thru a tuner?(I think it has a BD tuner on it)
It’s mainly our tow rig for a 5th wheel we have, the mechanics always get on her when they see how many miles she’s put in since the last service.

 

We still haven't received the most recent stimulus check that went out ~3 weeks ago. I have no idea why. I thought about calling the IRS but figured I would end up even more angry.

 

Waiting on Uncle Sam to do a 4th stimulus....used my 3rd on new set of Pings. Our great great grand kids gonna luv the debt we leave em

 

NOT A FIRST GEN!



white is actually probably the fastest color.. because it loves to peel off! - less weight

 

She claims it has a add on braking system for towing, not sure if I or she knows what that is. I’ll look into it though! Thanks for the tips

 

Not to take the “off topic” thread off of the current topic, but do we have a dedicated first gen mod?

If not, I nominate @empty_lord

Edit:
He has no knowledge of this nomination.

 

This is a GMC forum now.
