1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Based on what little I know about birds, I tend to agree. Some sort of swallow. They do have the tail feathers that come down into two points like the tail of tuxedo. Think Tom, amd Jerry when Tom was playing the piano.

Some guy in audience kept coughing, and Tom outright killed him. Pulled out the strap, and errythang!

 

That app is super dope but super big!
I don’t know what those are, but some sort of swallow sounds right. I’d let nature be…..
We’ve had 3 sets of dove harbor two babies each on top of my outside freezer, this last batch got left for what felt like 3 days, I thought they weren’t ready yet and going to die, momma came back and scooted them to the edge and they were gone the next morning.

 

I brought my purple martin houses from houston, and set it up every year, but havent seen any in the 5 years ive lived here.

 

Oh, no worries on me bothering them, but I do work with a bunch of stupid, uh... people. More like children really.

Based on the app, I'd say they were these.

 

Had to come get a "pass down" from the other maintenance guy before he left. Punched another dart, and snapped some more pitchers.

 

Hey y’all whoever is a fabricator, design a ditch light mount that bolts to the mirrors. I’ll be a customer! Lol drove my buddies truck with ditch lights in the hood mounts. I’d prefer them out of sight when driving. Because I’m me mirror mounts would be perfect

 

One morning I totally interrupted the momma dove feeding her babies, haha she just looked at me with her mouth open and the babies faces inside it. We stared at each other for a while before I let her finish her business

 

i think theres a thread in the turd gen section where a dude hogged out his mirror caps for forward facing lights.

 

That is a thing. But not sure the first gens can. The way I can envision it happening is using the 3 screws on the bottom, a plate and getting longer screws

 

Was gonna do it to my jeep, but the mirror housings were too thin. Hanging the lights under would be cool, too.


maybe i read it on one of the side chick tundra forums…

 

That actually doesn't look too bad. I would have taken apart my oem pass mirror when I was replacing it, but when I hit that deer it folded the mirror in, and then it Exploded against my window, and door. Never seen anything like that...

Long story short, I only had the mirror base, so no remnants to inspect.

 

That’s pretty much what I’d like to see.

 

You should get some bastard mirrors from the yard, or use the uncles truck to experiment.

Hell, use zip screws. Self tap a bracket up there.

Gotcha some thin flat stock, drill some holes through the bottom of the mirror housing. Mount the bar to the mirror, and then mount the light to the bar. Can use more flat stock on the inside for reinforcement. Use flat head Allen bolts for low profile inside the housing. Regular nuts on the outside. Bob's your uncle.

Need flat stock thin enough to bend though.

 

Zero free time currently

 

Bouncing lights bug me, they’d have to be hard mounted.

 

Well, if you find some bastard mirrors send them to me. I can squeeze in a little tinker time here, or there.

 

$23 MUTUACTOR 105lb Neodymium Rubber Coated Magnets,Non-Scratch Rubber Rare Earth Magnets with M8 Male Thread,2PCS Strong Magnetic Mount Magnet for Off-Road Vehicle Lighting LED Working Signal Lighting

Magnet them to the side of the truck.


These are legit, and what I used for the corolla light bar.

 

Ive gotta pull the drivers mirror off the sequoia, ill try to get pics. But the AC and sequoias door triangles are different.

if the magnets are beefy enough thats a great idea. Have the lights plug to their “home” wires nice and tidy, but have extension cords so you can stick em where you need em.

 

Flat stock with flat head bolts on the inside of the mirror should still allow the mirror to move properly.

Could run your wires into the mirror for even cleaner look. I don't know, and am just spitballing

 

Also, if yall need coolant. Advance auto is the place.

Except for maybe @empty_lord whom gets his from the dealer for cheap prolly

 

Zerex coolant for cheap is real! Just checked online.

 

I could live in a garage.

 

Anyone know if the FGT's suffer from heatsoak in the injectors or fuel rail? The reason I'm asking is that I've seen a few posts related to hard starts when hot, etc. and I've noticed mine doing it recently also. I know everything else is fine so there must be a cause for it and it seems to be somewhat common.

 

Woo-hoo! An early night! I get to enjoy the remainder of my weekend. All 6 hours of it.

 

Not a known issue. Failing engine coolant temp sensors can cause that or leaking injectors.

 

Ha! Me too. Tonight was all overtime for me, so I lost some of that but work had to be called early due to the massive lightning storms in this area last night causing issues. Explosives + static electricity discharge = potentially bad outcomes.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't think so since the layout of the injectors and fuel rail don't appear to be prone to it. I may have to walk back my statement that everything else is fine. I'm sure the injectors need replaced. They're on my short-list.

 

We had a tornado warning last night. There were no supervisors in the building so I took charge, and rounded everybody up. I ended up having to turn a guy's machine off because he didn't want to quit running.
