1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Just needs to ditch the steps and paint the bumper match

 

Nice. I'm curious what they used to get there, looks like a solid 5/7 drop, maybe 4/6. Agree with @DJenerated's take on it.

I'd have a hard time justifying that, knowing you could basically pull off the same - probably more easily - with a similar year/era Taco and only waste half the gas while still having a decent sized bed.

 

Did some truck stuff cleaning out the jungle in our alley today. Camper shell sucks for this kind of work but I had one of my little helpers so it wasn’t too bad.

 

Looks well qualified

 

Utility trailer

 

Looks like your the only caring participant in your neighborhood.

 

Those are ANSI steel toe crocs on mah boi

 

Nice!

 

Father in law a few blocks away is about to buy a trailer, I’m pumped! I have nowhere to keep one or I’d have pulled the trigger long ago.

 

Hahah I thought ansi rating only applied to glasses

 

Ansi is a safety standard. Includes glasses.... And crocks

 

Yeah I do this every summer so I can get to my house, basically have a few people who weedeat but no one cuts the hackberry saplings. I just get a 12-pack of Lone Star and get after it.

 

My man!

 

I’ve been out of that world for a while. Now I basically do residential stuff on a commercial level so it’s lawless!

 

Is that supposed to be a public alley that people can drive through?

 

Looks like the typical alley/easement you find all over my area.

Gah, you guys have Hackberries over there too? Those seeds are like gd peppercorns. And so many volunteers.

Do you guys get hardcore black soot under the mature ones from Chinese Wooly Aphids? I've got stand in my backyard, Hackberry is all over ATL. We started fighting with the wooly aphids about 10-12 years ago. Anything under mature trees, whether it's masonry wall, concrete, your car, they end up with a thin film of mildew growing on the sugarwater the aphids piss out. I guess they came over on ocean shipment crates from PRC and have no natural predators. About the only thing that controls them is the system killer Bayer makes, but it kills any bugs/pollinators indiscriminantly.

Such a PITA.

 

I can't believe how big they made this hole. It's huge. Now there is zero sign of any yellow jackets though. Is it normal for them to abandon a nest so quickly?

 

Yep. If you want to pave or asphalt yours it’s at your own cost and you have to maintain it. No one in our block uses it.

 

Yeah they’re great trees for birds and stuff, but the birds love to crap their seeds along every fence line in Texas. Ineradicable unless you get the roots :/

Not widespread but yeah it’s here too.

 

“That’s not going anywhere”

 

Best part, now Noah is going to get to feel that wonderful dad feeling of doing that.

 

Obligatory dad quote you're legally required to say in such an instance.

 

I saw this the other day, riding shotgun in a Lyft after dropping off Hulk:

We caught the red light and couldn't follow; I let the Lyft driver know how relieved I was.

Passed them 2 blocks ahead, pulled over trying to secure it. Taking a little extra time to ensure no one gets killed is always a great plan.

 

When you put a bedsheet on an armoire or bureau w/a mirror, it’s called a sail.

 

Heading up to T2S this year, there was a king size matress in lane 1. I was a ok distance behind a box truck in front of me that swerved, but I didn’t completely miss it. There was a cop in the HOV lane 1/4-1/2 mile back, that HAD to have seen my epic body roll as I tried to swerve around it with a car right next to me……. He kept on going like he didn’t see anything.

 

Has anyone ever thought of making a dually Tundra?

 

I’m pretty sure they don’t dig their own holes, they find old holes from gophers and such. Maybe they decided it wasn’t a good place and left before getting established?

 

Have you not seen the post of the $90k 2nd gen dually Tundra with a flatbed posted here on Tundras.com?

Oh, it’s a 1-ton too!

 

Haven't seen it. I know the dually fender flairs are bolt on
