1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Yeah I noticed once I got to a curtain point in my build, everything got even more expensive lol

 

You say that now. But the difference between my 2 Tundra's brakes from stock tires and weight vs the over size tires and extra metal bits is night an day. Both use the 13wl or what ever the "upgraded" OEM brakes were

 

I kept expecting your quarter windows to pop open

 

gimme 44's and lead in the bed. I'll stop when i stop. Its scary on a motorcycle, but pretty predictable in a pickup.

 

Knew who it was, RIP. Kid found his exit too soon. Imagine kicking the bucket at the same time Eminem was putting you out on his album. It's like winning the lottery and getting hit by a stray bullet walking away from the convenience store with the ticket.

 

Decided to order a Fluke 117 at Lowes today for $217. The higher end ones I can't justify buying (i.e. Fluke 177 or Fluke 87-5). Better to buy an O-scope to supplement.

My dm27xl Beckman Industrial from 1990 is acting flakey; most likely the ceramic caps need replacement as it's a one IC device.

 

Picked this up for free the other day. Found in e-recycle pile for my building, tested it, just needed a new fuse. Go figure? I wanted something beefier, like a 117 would've been nice, this is really only a $50-60 meter used, but it's better than my current so ... screw it. Kismet.

Hey @daveeasa speaking of related stuff, do you happen to recognize this connector? It's used at the back of the radio and carries VSS and reverse trigger wire:

​

 

Damn you, lucky duck with vss and rev trigger in the oem harness. I had to T tap (yes, the evil T tap) for reverse b/c I couldn't figure out a clean way to de-pin at the relay. Figure I'll cut and crimp a butt splice if it has trouble down the road. Still need to do VSS sometime, haven't focused on that.

Got a better photo?

Johnny thinks he might know it.

 

I don't, that one was snagged from someone here on the forum.

 

Thing·a·ma·jig friday....

 

smaller wheels for more sidewall? don't be scared of bigger tires....

 

If I ever move up to 315s, I gotta get some spacers for sure.

 

Hmm, I was thinking I have decent turn radius and good clearance right now and half tempted to try something a little bigger but 285's seem pretty decent for the time being. And those mofos are spendy!

 

Working on a DIY remedy for pink milkshake?

 

knot eye but a milkshake sounds good

 

Tree fiddy, scrawberry.

 

Bring the coin and I’ll fix ya right up

 

Very nice find! Always good when you don't have to deal with a non-autoranging meter like my original. Were you lucky enough to get a true RMS meter?

 

Rhymes with ducks, pucks and sucks.

 

Pretty sure you hit the nail on the head with pucks....

 

I prefer strawberry Fribbles.

 

Probably 19 by now

 

Exactly.

 

The only coils that I know of made by bilstein are for their 6100's. You just reuse your OEM coils with 4600's

 

I just found him. Liked a bunch of his songs then found out RIP the homie. No clue how he got that way. Hell, I just found out DMX died not long ago.

(I wanted to make a meme with the hippo on the pink background, but I couldn't find it.)

 

Bye Bye trucks18

 

I found the part is discontinued from Toyota. I tried ordering it when I did my radio.

 

Looks like TE to me. I bet I can find it.

 

some are loud.. never really had anyone come in and complain about it... honestly with my mothers car i just disable the auto engagement.

 

i grabbed reverse from the junction connector in the right kick panel
