1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I think the ability to turn the lights on if needed w/ engine off is good.

I entered my truck. BecUse fuck it why not. Lol

 

Well, your truck jumps out as super clean and classic and looks new. Why not indeed.

 

Heading back out with one less chainsaw. Going to buy one 4foot extension for my pole saw.

Weighed my battery cinch sack. 19.3 pounds of batteries. Lol

 

I bet you can get a better second photo. Somewhere near a something industrial perhaps? Yours is one of the most unique and clean looking ones, particularly the exterior. Maybe next to a train yard or elevated rail or iconic building? The warehouse detracts in my opinion, though lighting is good. Cement pops really nice in brighter sunlight if you can find some.

Oh, looks like submission deadline has passed. You're guaranteed a spot. That was a pretty tight window...

 

I'm surprised they can't make a welder thats both a MIG/TIG and plasma cutter. I'd like to have an all in one machine.

It's all just a flow of electrons, right?

Edit: I should have looked before I leaped. They do make them.

 

I looked at em. But i’ll get a seperate plasma cutter, cause i might need to do some cutting out of the shop, and dont want to have to bring the whole welding cart.

 

Fema has arrived. This is day four of hauling debris off, and burning it. They issued last night that they wanted ALL debris weighed to determine the monetary amount dispersed.

 

You dont wanna leave any damaged dirt.

and thats a badass truck.

 

Is that just an earlier model thing? I leave my headlight switch to ON 24/7. I turn off the truck, get out of the truck, close the door, lock the truck with key fob, lights go off. If I don't lock the truck, like when parking in garage, lights turn off at some point. Not sure if it's when I close the driver door, or a period of time after. Can check if interesting.

 

Have you unplugged this connecter near the battery?

or maybe i fixed it when i disabled the drivers door switch?

 

Same with 05. Lights turn off with lock or eventually. Unless the truck is off when you turn them on.

 

Ah, so I have something f’d up with mine? I’ll look closer.

part of the trouble is that with these old headlights you can’t really tell they are on. I’m going to have to swap in the new ones soon.

 

Looks like 02 is the same as 05-06

 

The headlights DO turn off when the ignition is turned off. You have a fault in your system like me. Ive noticed that behavior with it not turning off like yourself. Could be a bad ground or something.

 

We want this unplugged? It’s a sensor of sorts?

 

Its the daytime running lights.

im petty, and like the look of my truck rocking ambers only.

 

Ah, yeah, my DRL’s live on. I don’t have the teardrop style, mine are high beam filament with what I think is 6v?

 

‘02 club representin’

I know one thing here. your electrical posts are way above my pay grade.

 

I plan to redo everything and use sealed connectors as inputs to a custom headlight harness. So I’m musing about ways I might refine functionality. Maybe if I get the sequoia stalk on I can have auto mean auto off vs ON leaving them on. But I probably should troubleshoot a bit to see why they don’t shut off right now on their own.

 

Those FEMA loads pay HUGE money for truck drivers. A buddy with J.B Hunt covered FEMA loads after a Hurricane in 2017 and had drivers calling him 2 years later saying "you got any more of those FEMA loads?"

 

I have been watching those trucks down here for three months cleaning up IDA debris.
Tell the people to separate tree limbs and household debris. They process them differently and if mixed they won’t pick them up. Do not bag anything. If they don’t know what is is they don’t remove it.

 

Trying to install the seat jackers. Instructions are vague but I’m assuming they go like this???

 

Looks right to me.

 

Yes.

 

Thats how mine are.

 

Factory bolt has to be tightened before seat jacker bolt

 

Thanks

Yeah I noticed that afterwards. I left them as is since I forgot lock tite so I’ll go back in an hour or so and redo em…

 

Truthfully, I don't know about any other account. I'm just guessing here.

He does add a lot of value to the 1st gen forum here; I just don't know why he would make comments that would get him banned.
