1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Crap. Pouring rain all through the night switching over to heavy wet snow 10-14” from 1 pm on tomorrow.

Power outage inevitable. FML, just when I thought it was over.

 

If that gets me here with my 1GT, I'm in! I still can't figure out why Toyota changed to the new blue emblem on the 3rd gens though... is it a hyrbid?

​

 

Heavy rain here today. Definite cowl leakage.

Also, I waffle on the shell thing. It was awesome today, just took all the kitchen cabinet cardboard to the recycling center. A full load on volume. Super nice to toss it in and go. But part of me covets a flatbed. Maybe because the wheel wells look strange to me. And I only have 33’s.

 

Anyone know any oem discounts going on right now? Need rear bearings and seals. @shifty` @FirstGenVol

 

I'm not aware of any other than the normal free shipping over $75.

 

Normally specials kick off nationally around big holidays. Memorial Day and Independence Day are two potential candidates upcoming. I don't often see non-holiday events.

That said, while I've been critical of Serra Toyota of Decatur for parts, because that asshole Eric Francis works there and he's too incompetent to take ownership on mistakes he's made, I'm trying out Serra Toyota of Birmingham on my order today, which has a different parts department but the same FREESHIP coupon for orders over $75. Free ship + no tax + 46% MSRP discount on parts makes for a pretty sweet deal.

Bham is only 2hrs straight down I-20 from me, so hopefully it'll be quick turnaround. I'm not the only here that Eric at the Decatur dealership burned or screwed stalled for absurdly long wait times while he pretends like he's doing something useful on your behalf.

Appreciate the heads up, just ordered.

 

Good. The initial scare went down to 6-10” of heavy wet snow. Still not great.

 

ya'll are still in winter? Its damn near summer here.

 

It ain’t over till after the first week of April here. Worst case, mid April.

After that it either rains every other day till summer or we have a nice spring.

 

Curious to hear how it turns out for you. I'll loop back with how mine went once it gets here.

 

That means my 4" - 8"will be shrinking too. Excellent.

 

Hell, still running the summer tires from last year. Little cold for them, but snow - what snow? Maybe snow on the roads 3 days this year.

 

Well, chilling in a NM hotel 4 hours from home for the next 3 days. I can't complain much I guess. $7 an hour more and $140 a day per diem. Plus we're gonna work over 10 hours a day so every hour over 10 is OT.

 

NWSS

@Azblue

 

Zing.

 

If I get there and there's not a mich ultra tree......

 

A quick search didnt find a pallet of shiner.

 

Second gens repped the Ram

 

Roswell?

 

Hobbs

 

What's NWSS?

 

Planted.

 

After 6 or so shiners i can start refilling most light beers.

 

I drink too fast to not drink light beer.

 

I'm excited to have an excuse to start a few days with ranch water again.
