1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I retired at 48 under similar circumstances; it's really what you make of it... I'd just suggest a game plan going into retirement doing some kind work for yourself or work for someone else doing something you enjoy a few hours a week. It's too easy for folks to fall into that lazy trap and start eating like crap and not working out.... Plan on budgeting that time w/some fun, some activity, and some purpose; it's important to continue challenging the brain.

Unfortunately, I've watched a couple of buddies enter retirement at a 'young' age and quickly diminish in health and spirit.

 

I don’t have time to retire
I’ll hit half century this year
Congrats shifty!
I didn’t realize the finger length thing. I wonder why that’s so
Wife out of town this weekend for a race of all things. Wood chips and firewood shed / log splitting.

 

Anyone know if there is an aftermarket fuel tank for FGT’s? LRA only has for 2nd Gen. just curious really, not like I drive. But for our fuel consumption it might be nice to have a bigger tank.

 

theres an '03 excursion nearby just calling my name. I'm playing hard to get, but no promises.

j/k had to stop & get pics for a buddy of mine. He wants to start camping, but his wife changed that to glamping real quick.

 

You could be twinsies with @bmf4069

If it was a T4R or Sequoia I could be swayed. If it was a j100, I'd be signing up for another forum.

 

Funny you say that, this has been in my feed constantly the last couple of days.

DEPO was my go-to. And those ones I linked are clearly DEPOs too. DEPO makes solid stuff, overall.

 

I sent a connection request.

 

2WD though.

Removing carpet tack strips from a concrete slab sucks ass

 

Completely agree. I've done it in two homes and it sucked both times. They do make a special tool for it that helps but I don't have one.

Isn’t there a special tool for that to make life easy?

Some guy on YouTube uses a spade shovel to get them out.

 

I used a hammer and pry bar

 

Good thing is, only 2 rooms in this house HAD carpet

 

Brake light came on in the truck. I had to keep the pedal to the floor just to stay stopped. Resivoir was almost empty. Looks like Ironman is gonna take a little break.

 

Sad face

 

@FishNinja wanna help with a fab collab? I want an external ladder rack, full length, front to rear bumper. The bit over the cab can have drawers (because i'll have sliders to stand on) and maybe i'll wanna ptz rack for the solar panels above that, then a drawer rack over the cap that feeds rearward. Once its unloaded it'll mount the sides & rear canopies.



red is the rack, blue are the drawers, green is the top rack, and yellow is the solar tracking solar panel.

 

juice in the booster? Or vacuumed into the powersteering or whatever?

 

Where is the rear red upright mounting at the bottom? Is it tucking under the cap, or is going further south?
I ask because I am seeing a step integrated to the bottom of it to assist you getting up onto the tailgate.

 

plate rear bumper with swingout. I think the step is gonna be a hitch thing built into the bumper. Storable for clearance, and double as a table for the cooler.

its already in the right spot.


I couldnt expect polo to step on a pad. He's just now learning how to work the basket.

 

Dang, wish I'd thought to do that with my basket. The missing step for the RV. Genius.

 

Where is the fluid going? Happy to come wrench if you want a hand.

 

@bmf4069 asked for pics, so here's some pics. Of course he was probably 20 into a suitcase when he asked, but WTF.

Debris piles





Bunch O'sticks for now, ton of buds on them though. Hopefully enough to make the neighborhood vanish.




Gift. The yard thanks me with gifts. Scythe?



WTF are those white lumps. Is that chicken poop? I've never seen this poop before but am betting it's chicken.

The yard provides.

 

Agree, but what are you using to fill up the divots left behind?

 

DAP ready mixed concrete patch

 

Hey, does anybody have any experience with Tractor Supply trailers? They any good? My in-laws looking at them and they seem a little expensive for what you get, but maybe there’s more brand/warranty support because of the big box behind it?

 

Looks like small dog or cat poop, which can turn white with time.

Too big and uniform for chicken or waterfowl.

 

I vote goose poop
