1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I second this. I'm on my second pair and I love them especially for the price. they aren't noisy, they have really good grip in the rain, they don't tank the mileage and for the price you really cant find anything better. They do wear a bit fast, wore them down to 50% in about 12k miles but I still couldn't be happier with them. sold them to my dumb ass friend for $150 when I moved to my SCS Gen 5's and 32's

 

Uhhhh, where did the previous posts go? What was wrong with them?

 

I wont go into detail, but ive had to weld my bedframe before.

 

You know, I saw this on a toilet the other day and wondered if it was anything like that...

 

I've done that before too. Those days are over. Sneaking bed frames into work to have some one else weld them for me...

I'll just do it my damn self now!

 

I just got a tig welder in july. I plan on using it to keep my shop warm this winter learning to lay rolls of dimes.

 

Not too hard. Depends on if mild steel or aluminum.

 

Sometimes there is only one way to find out.

 

It's addictive and fun. I'd rather Tig most anything anymore. I don't even consider myself good at mig welding, but I do it to save time.

 

Is that what those pretty welds are called?

 

Stacking dimes?

 

He's gonna hafta change his name to SirDimeStack. Not to be confused with SirDimeSack, who's equally stoned most of the time.

You can't stack dimes with MIG. At least not anywhere near as purty as you can with TIG. But then again, MIG is to bongos what TIG is to a drumset.

Or wait ... is that MIG is to TIG what bongos are to a drumset? I forget how these stupid things work.

 

Meanwhile in Florida

 

Saw that one making rounds on Reddit starting earlier this week. That poor gator was convinced he was getting eaten by something much bigger than he. I'd feel terrible if they weren't so damn tasty.

 

Made it to the Ferry. 545 miles. Still amazed at how well they can pack this thing.

 

Can't get my instrument lights to work on my T100. Fuse is good. Bulbs seemed fine but I swapped em for leds anyways. Yes I know how polarity works and I've changed bulbs to LEDs on my 99 and 03 tacos. But I'm running out of ideas here as I've been awake for 24hrs and 14hrs of that was at my job, the other 10hrs working on projects around the house/garage. I'm about ready to sleep. The only thing I can think is if I dig deeper into the dash and maybe find something wired in like a radio dimmer that uses the headlight switch as a power signal shorting out the panel maybe. Because the previous owner did have a 15a fuse where it should've been a 10a. Also I noticed two suspicious wires. But I'm too tired to keep pulling shit apart and testing shit. Oh and the instrument panel appears to have some missing twisties. Some I can identify as unimportant because they're clearly labeled for automatic trans shit and I have a manual. But a few of em seem like they should have bulbs and twisties

 

Switch good? Is there a relay in line somewhere?

 

Switch is good. Headlights and tails lights come on. Buzzer works when switched on. Basically all the dash lights and exterior lights work. It's just the 4 instrument illumation lights that don't work. And I guess the few that dont have lights in them... But the brights indicator, check engine, battery and blinker indicator and cruise control lights all work. I don't think the 4x4 light works or the oil light

 

I need to investigate further about the relay

 

Porkchop is getting inspected and registered. I had a few people ask about the cars but nobody wanted to buy so fuck it, I'll keep em.

 

Fuck this car, I'm selling it.

 

There's what looks to be a nice xsp for sale in OKC.

That's one hot car. Must be all that dust clogging the air filter. lol

 

My head is still spinning from the speed of that about-face

 

If y'all thought the side step first gems couldn't get any uglier...

I dunno, I think all the stepsides are ugly, but that's one of the most tasteful ones I think I've seen.

That's great it's low mile but it's under-optioned for my taste and needs. Still, at that price tag, I think it'll probably sell within $2k of list.

 

I don't doubt it will either but that green is too much puke and not enough alien.

 

Baby shat

 

I'm not sure that's paint. Looks like a wrap, matte, and maybe flake? Based on the OfferUp pics, at least.

I can't tell if they're using a filter on the camera lens, or if it's overcast, maybe that's impacting it?

Dunno, looks more like June Beetle than babyshit to me. At least neither of my two kids had poop that color.
