1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I've never found any fitted hat that I like. Even my normal adjustable I change because sometimes my head is fat.

Nike Campus Cap is the only hat I've worn for the last decade.

How trainable are the cats?

 

Not at all, they dont even run from polo.

 

Cats are trainable?

Edit: I stand corrected. Must be some sort of super catnip to get them to do anything.

Need that to expand some collapsed culvert pipes

 

So far called the 2 closest places without going into the city, i could have my wheels polished for $200/ea, the other place would chrome em for $300/ea, and the first place would copper plate & polish for $350/ea.

i think i might like polished patricks.

 

Got to work on installing street lights today. Well, I stood there and watched. We're just doing the wiring.

 

Sounds like a government job.

 

I like to look both ways & run redlights. Need to get my bumper going so i can hide my numbers.


This weekend i'll pull the factory bumper support & center & drill the full width leaves.
Imagine a shaped plate on top & filled ends.

 

It is for TXDoT. There's 5 different contractors here, which is about 3 too many in my eyes.

 

Txdot has paid alot of smart people* alot of money to fuck up this intersection.

The 10

 

I watched the City send out 6 employees to plant a small tree. They made the rookie dig while the other 5 stood around watching. I had a Ron Swanson moment.

 

Gub'ment efficiency!

Reminds me of ...

​

 

I got some bad news. I confirmed with Denso that they have stopped remanufacturing our alternators. There are a few left in inventory then no more. Kicking myself in the ass for not ordering from Rock Auto when I had the chance.

 

Who/where is this guy you were communicating with? What company?

 

That is Denso customer service. I contacted them directly from their website and we emailed back and forth a few times. He sent me a link to where I can buy one of the last two in stock. I also emailed Rock Auto to see if they still have any left in inventory.

 

If that's true, I'm glad I kept my original instead of returning it as a core.

 

I'm sure it's true. The reason I emailed Denso is because their website no longer lists alternators for my truck. I also changed the year to 2006 and got no results. It makes me want to order a starter in case they discontinue those too.

 

Will you just get it rebuilt locally?

 

Why get the stock 100 when you can get a reman sequoia 150???

 

Chances are good a set of brushes is all one needs. Same with our starters.

 

There's a place locally that rebuilds and rewinds alts, so yeah might do that eventually. It'll just sit as a spare either way

 

Too much hassle for something I don't really think I need. If I was running all kinds of crazy lights and accessories I would consider it.

 

Hit PartsGeek, Summit Racing and a few others to see if you can find something. But really, it's very not-hard to rebuild your own, so don't hesitate.

 

How is it more hassle than replacing the original? One bolt ear?

 

It’s like we all had the v6 and it’s a normal wear part and y’all wanna buy another v6 instead of an 8 for effectively the same price. I don’t understand why.

 

PS - part of me is, like, "Damn ... I guess I shouldn't have sold my spares, eh?!" but I just didn't have room for the extra shit to be laying around.
