1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Of course they’re horrible. They make everyone bow down to the mighty bohemoth that is Wally World. People like to pay less, companies like to sell more. Viscous cycle.

 

Half ton press is fine. Gotta push a bit. I’m sure a larger vice would work as well. Or a home made bolt puller. Last spacers didn’t really want to go in so I used the bottom shock bolt to keep them aligned and ease them in.

 

Because sometimes they sell items at a loss just to get you into the store

 

Which YouTuber has the best timing belt replacement video?

 

Skid plate arrived today. That's fucking crazy fast

 

Pics? OEM or aftermarket?

 

Skid row. There's enough pics of them. Feels like it'd crush a deer skull

 

Nice. lol

 

Good stuff in here, recent thread.

Just sent my cut files and what not for a custom cnc cut and bent skid out of 1/4” aluminum. Hopefully it will be ready for Sedona!

 

Just bought a marine one today for the boat. Sticker said 3/23. Pretty fresh!!

 

Is that going to be a front skid or further back?

 

Front, my front tube bumper required to cut out the front support so I lost factory bolt locations

 

I followed the three part 1aauto series when doing mine

 

Damn mine hasn't even shipped yet

 

You racing or something? Aluminum gunna bend if it hits a rock. I seent it too many times with aluminum bumpers and skids. Plus it expensiver than steel

 

3D CAD pic? Weight compared to OEM? I need a new one myself.

 

I can’t picture 1/4” thick aluminum plate bending that easily.

 

With the weight of the vehicle plus being in motion plus an immovable object you'd be surprised.

 

Also if your trying to eat rocks that big center of your track width, you’ve got a lot more problems

 

True. I didn't realize it was not for the belly of the beast. But last year at Jambo a driver ruined her aluminum front bumper on a trail. Food for thought.

Edited: for Sunny

 

I watched several as I could get a different camera angle each different one. It's not hard to do but ya need to pay attention to detail. I find all the timing marks before taking things loose. Then I ensure that I have the engine on TDC of the compression stroke. You can rotate the engine in the correct direction after you begin to take covers off to see how the marks align on the cams and such with the belt. Just continue until you get to TDC compression before taking off parts that effect belt tension.
This is doable...

 

FIFY

If you say so.

 

Omitting one word shared the same facts but lost the sexist overtones. Never a bad idea.

 

Edited just for you. Don't wanna rustle your festhers..

 

We're gonna have a good time together in camp. I'm certain I'll find you... chivalrous.
