1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

@FrenchToasty you still got your stock manifolds from your truck?

 

I thought 3d notch was highest recommended for AC?

The rental spring compressors work, they just suck so take your time. The ones from advance auto are beefier than o'reilly (at least here). I had to cut off my old top bolt because it wouldn't break free. Spray PB blaster on the bolts for a few days before. The lower shock bolt can hit the cv axle when trying to take it out, since you are replacing the LBJ, take that off first so the cv axle will move a bit.

Overall not a difficult job, just takes time.

 

I’d have to check, they may have went to the curb….

 

Damn

 

Turdy out in nature!!!

 

Yeah, I understand this won't necessarily be the best method but it's what I have right now and my lower shock bushings are absolutely shot. I think it'll probably be alright for my needs. If it rides like complete crap I may do lift coils in the future. Just gonna do 3rd notch for this instead to keep from ruining the ride too much. Thanks!

Yeah that all makes sense. Probably ought to go with 3rd notch and see how it all goes. If I don't like the look or feel of things maybe better coils will be in my future. I'm doing lower ball joints anyway so I'll pull those first. Thanks!

Yeah after some thought I think I'll go with 3rd notch to help keep the ride better.

Yeah I saw that in another thread recently about the bolt hitting. Hopfully pulling the lower ball joint first will help out enough. Hoping for the best with the o'Reilly spring compressor as it's what I already have. Thanks!

 

Spotted in Steamboat Springs. You on here bro? Kinda looks like you had a heavy night of eating scooby snacks and licking your own ass.

 

Right, and stuff like that is different. Read here https://www.tundras.com/threads/ran-over-spike-strips.96996/

 

I have no idea what the fuck is going on in this thread lol

Last night was bonkers. Had an 8 inch, 40°F, 120PSI water main break 50 feet in the ceiling... all hell broke loose

 

Specifically the one guy who got banned over one word deemed as derogatory? Or was there more to the story/context?

 

The rarely duplicated dually body chop.

 

We saw the dualy rolling up as we hit pavement, a Phx cat

 

those might actually be glass bedsides?

 

I can’t remember but I think they are, I think he’s trying to sell the dualy setup.

 

That was where the guy got his ban. It was elaborated on a little later in the thread. The implication was that following the law/thinking you might have messed up made you subservient, and that implies that LEOs are oppressors in whole. At least that's how I think it was interpreted. You can ask Sean for clarification in a PM if you'd like.

 

You boys wanna talk about some wild s***t?My wife’s official due date was last Saturday, so she was over due but still……. I wasn’t ready for this

got up about 5:30 this morning and she goes call into work I’ve been having contractions since about 5. So I get up and start getting stuff together, get my oldest son up (18months) get his bags packed to go to his aunts house. Before we can get out the door to leave little dude made his arrival around 6:58. My wife was going call the doctor, before I could call the doctor she goes never mind call 911. I’m fumbling with the phone trying to get somebody called about the time she delivers the little guy. Momma’s Healthy, little dudes healthy. Guess I couldn’t ask for much more. The emts show up, and I was like y’all need me for anything, if not I’m gonna go in here and chug a fifth to calm my nerves. I don’t do blood real well. There’s a reason I build power lines instead of working in the medical field.

Congrats and glad everyone is well!

 

Congrats @Cummins3500 ! Both my boys were born at home. Made my dad quite stressed out as he spent his career as a neonatologist. Tell your wife she is a champ and take the older kid for special daddy time, it’s a cool moment. Then prepare for the years of inter sibling fighting

 

Congratulations! This might be an omen that this kid is going to surprise you more than once! Good luck!

 

Nice work guys!
Congrats, great name btw.

 

@alb1k @daveeasa @AzureNightmare @NWPirate

thanks fellas. It was a little more experience than I bargained for but I survived it lol. We literally decided on that name at the hospital btw lol

So my oldest is already screwed and obsessed with trucks. So this little dude was born on 10/22 which means he’s probably screwed and gonna be a gun nut lol

 

Perfect

 

10/22

 

Crazy morning eh? Glad to hear the wife and little one are good, congrats man


And I use to not do blood. But not much of an issue anymore.. if you had seen the corolla after my fathers accident you’d swear someone died in the car

 

Congrats

 

i mean let’s just sayin I need some hellacious day drinkin to calm my nerves down at about 7:00 clock this morning.

@Desert Dog thanks man

 

Congratulations!

 

thanks Man, my first was relative uneventful. This one was a wild ride lol and this little dude is even more hell on wheels than my other one I’m screwed lol
