1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

https://youtu.be/RfWPZt-msrc?si=Ko35VYpHXV-9ke3r

Half of my shocks are supposed to be here today. The other half should be here tuesday.

 

Making progress here. I should have this done before my wife gets home from Michigan(MG?). Which should lead to a happy ending.

 

If not, jewelry usually works.

 

So you got the 6112's and the rear 5100's or 5160's?

5100's. If i need more, i'll be ready to cantilever.

 

Got a caliper and mind taking a couple measurements? For science.

 

as soon as they get here, but my calipers are only 6", so lengths will be tape measured.

 

Sweet!

I don't need lengths. Just body outside diameter, snap ring outside diameter and snap ring thickness. Should all be under 3"

 

So when's Getting High in the Hill Country™ going down?

 

Mom & dad coming in with a late xmas gift.


Gotta get a tool roll, i dont like the coffee can plan.

these are what my old ratcheting wrenches look like.

 

dunno yet, i still havent ordered my strut compressor. Might order those rock auto cv axles while i'm at it.
Need to clamp my cap to your truck to see if i'll hate removing my sway bar. I can feel the weight up there already.

 

Maybe add that 19mm rear bar and run no front like the fj cruiser guy did those ifs flex tests with?

 

I ran my sway bar with stock links for years. As long as you don't have skid plate back there like I did for it to come into contact with, you'll be fine for testing purposes.
Too bad I already sold my extended links.
I would think the 6100's would be stout enough to handle no swaybar and it you do your bastard pack, you should be fine going without even with the cap.

 

Extra rear swaybar dows make powersliding better.

 

yea, i wanted to unhook it before adding bushings & endlinks. Give it a feel & a romp.

& i went with 650lb springs. Even though i plan on rolling heavy. I'd rather be undersprung than oversprung.

 

Well if you get the compressor, you can always swap the springs for 700's when you get armor.

 

That site darkness found for springs has progressive rate custom springs.

Any nerds wanna hate on my aux toolbox?


So much room for activities.

 

For increasing Force to remove fasteners. Suitable.

 

They still made metal ones when you were a kid? I thought they were all plastic now.

Guess I really never paid attention to it.

 

I've got the twins to these in the shop. I'm one short of a full set of 5 for SAE; no metric.

Dude looks like he's all ate up rolling too. Interesting. VIP mix is way better than the original. But straightbeat isn't usually my thing.

My metal linchbox as a kid was hotwheels, but i have dads metal lunchbox full of marbles, but him nor I remember what it was & that container is way in the back. It did have a plastic spinner, some zinc player pieces, and a boardgame track on the back. But niether of us can recall, except it wasnt speed racer.

 

I could, but I won't. Seems useful.

 

You really really never paid attention then because that's the Disney Star Wars (turd gen trilogy) and B wasn't a kid when it came out.
