1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Cactus water! I saw some at a store the other day and though of you assholes.

 

It was lone river, right?

 

@bmf4069

 

Ew

 

If bmf hands you a peanut, be careful.

 

I tried that ranch water but didn't care for it. I thought people in Texas made their own ranch water. Is that a thing or no? I can't remember the ingredients I heard people use.

 

I like spicy.

That reminds me, I need to order a few more of those. And some reaper sausage and cheese.

 

I can't say I've ever heard of our people making their own alchy seltzers

do it. You wont.

 

$77 is on sale? What are they normally? I do hate being the idiot driving for miles n miles with his blinker on, but damn Gina!

I've got the spray/single swipe on the stalk, but it's a pull back. Up is off, and down goes thru the speeds. Where are the wiper controls when not on the stalk?

I'll have to look at mine, but I remember adding a jumper wire that made the fog circuit available (dependent on the fog switch) anytime the headlight switch is on, regardless if just running lights, low beams, or high beams. I do also remember there being several other ways to achieve this but couldn't tell ya where I found that info. It's been a minute

 

after panhandlemonium i tried a few different seltzers, the assortment flavors, and didnt like any of em enough to try twice. But those early morning hair of the dog ranch waters were better than coffee. Knowing i was gonna have to fight an oily truck and dusty wind all day. Ive never heard of people making ranch water, but i made a bunch of prickly pear juice & vodka last summer.

 

This is on a really built 05. I think it's called a steering slider. Anyone know anything about those? Looks like an OEM steering rack.

​

 

90+ shipping

 

That looks like a beefier version of a sway bar to me.

 

the bracket with the heims and the outer tie rods is bolted to the rack rams or whatever you call them

 

OH, I see the bracket that mounts to the steering rack now. Weird. Never seen nothing like that before.

Odd that they mounted the whole badussy where the sway bar mounts.

 

Yeah, the simple plan nukes DRL trucks. Different circuit layout.

 

Sometimes software and new tools simply crash and burn

 

Just looking at it makes me think it’s water used for the animals on the ranch and extra spicy is whatever falls off the animal into the water.

 

After looking at it - I think it's designed to reduce shear loads on the rack and maintain alignment. Protect the gears and seals...may also dampen?

 

Looks like a hydro-assist ram in addition to the stock rack and pinion.

 

Thats probably not a stock rack, no bellows, and i dont know how beefy the shaft in the stock rack is. Hydraulic ram steering/stabilizer?

 

The stock rack is still there in the front, but the tie rods are controlled by the hydro-assist ram in the rear.

I read this as, "Don't eat bmf's nuts". I figured that would be common knowledge already.

Yeah, I bitched about the price going up two years ago. I think it's even higher today. The stupid part is, Diode Dynamics is basically setting themselves up to have the counterfeiters go rampant.

I'm pretty sure they were having these pre-assembled in China, at least some of it, maybe the boards, maybe the plastics. You can already buy clones galore of their product from alibaba, scamazon, fleabay for the same price or less than Diode Dynamic's prices. I feel like their pricing constantly rising is going to kill their product in the next couple of years.

They're always on the stalk. Mine work like yours. For some reason, I don't know why I was thinking of the headlight stalk in earlier comments. But yeah, I wish there was a tap-up option where pushing the stalk upward fired off only one wipe.

 

Common sense isnt always common. I wouldnt eat anything spicier than ranch for over a month.

 

Don't eat @RUSTYNUTS either
