1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

So no surfing in a wetsuit? Waves are supposedly better in the winter, aren't they?

I agree this whole covid thing just messes up plans.

I was supposed to go work out there on the Gerald Ford Aircraft Carrier, but everything is on hold right now.

 

I haven't been.

I also haven't heard a lot of good things about either.

 

I had a weeklong MTB trip to the Front Range planned for August 2020.
The apocalypse put the kibosh on that pretty quickly.

 

Not a bad idea but it’s so damn hard to get the boys to do anything. They just want to fight each other inside the house.

 

Dude I’ve been pulling my hair out with my two inside, outside sticks and pipes get involved so it’s not any better!

 

This. But yeah, water would be good. We should be in palm desert with all the pools cause they are mostly empty and heated. But I’m not in control of the decision making and we are likely still infectious so it’s all my wife’s family politics right now.

beach isn’t a terrible idea. I can try. I was shut down on my plan to get them out for a bike ride.

All I remember from being a kid is wanting to do what my dad was doing. Not telling my dad to F off. Shrug.

 

My self and the boys do better separately, my sanity first, but then for some reason the one listens 100% better when it’s just one on one.

 

We are living parallel lives it seems.

 

When we head out west, I’ll hit you up, I’m sure your kids could teach mine a thing or two about eating sand

 

These days off are getting right in hand. En route to Glasgow KY to help a buddy hang a door on a 95 Nissan hard body. Lol

My kinda people!

 

This plate cover oughta be illegal. In fact I think it is....


I could tell theu had a plate under there but I couldn't read it with my own eyes

 

Perhaps you can at least put some scratches in the unused play structure?

 

Dude what?!?
My son has his own “park” as he calls it at gam gams, fully equipped with a pulley to bring his bucket of whatever up. We’re already planning a sleep over this summer up top!

 

That’s a long drive!

 

My bro in law lives pretty close to Marysville. So if they have parts of interest for me or you guys I can pick up next haul which I think is in one week.

 

Ain't shit round here so happy to drive for it. Shame my little brother can't drive other wise we could just rotate drivers.

 

Maybe we could work out some kind of collaboration kind of like how they do rescue puppies. They hand off puppies to people willing to drive them to the next person driving them to their destination.

TG2 did that frequently but insisted on not packing heat.. Strange.

 

There is a Tacoma express, let’s start the tundra express!

 

If we can get it to my bro in law’s farm, getting to palm desert is easy and from there to SD or you not too hard. Or freight from Seattle. I can handle that part. Sounds like it’s worth our time. I want dibs on the fender flares

 

He and I were actually taking about junkyards on our way down. We can’t stop once loaded but he has plenty of vehicles to retrieve parts. It’s been on my list to do.

 

Yall make my heart swell, and my wallet shrivel. Love this community!

 

Just from local groups that I’m a part of, reaching out has gotten me sliders from sandy ego, and long tube headers from texas! It never hurts to ask!

 

Can't say I've even heard of this happening in this neck of the woods...guess I missed it. I do remember there being so much snow in Boston, there was no place to put it back at that time.

Can you do all my part negotiatin'. Damn it man! Lol

 

Started a google doc of parts wanted, dm or post and I'll try to add to it.

 

Definitely illegal in Texas. A license plate frame violates the law if it “impairs the readability of the name of the state where the vehicle is registered, or the letters or numbers of the license plate at any time".

 

None of the pre-2003 trucks are wired for mirror heat best I can tell Dave. Unless you have your own wiring you plan on doing. Be cool to have it come on when you turn the truck to defrost to eliminate the button. @empty_lord

Add a long bed to the parts list. Also a silver sky non-flare pass front fender.

Also add four of the little chrome low profile fender flares. Think you have some on your truck Dave. You da man!

 

You can have my flares for sure, assuming I can pull them without damage.

I’ll add the others.

I was going to use a switchpros for mirror heat or maybe the OEM button I have if it fits and I can figure out the pins. Yeah it’d have to be custom wire to the door and I’ll probably swap connectors to a 5 or 6 position unless the 6’s I have work as is. In the PNW you kinda run mirror heat all the time, even if not doing defrost, cause outside is so misty and cold. Not that my truck is planning to spend time in the PNW right now but we do contemplate.

 

I missed something critical. Are you parting out a Tundra?

I told @jpink he needs to buy this Double Cab Bed. Hard to find one anymore and doesn't appear to be damaged. Plus it's only an hour away.
