1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

It's nothing compared to some of the patch collections I've seen, while riding in other people's rigs on the trails haha

 

more randomness

 

I knew someone was going to post Jennifer Anniston and her flair.

 

I don't think i have any pics. This was way back around 2005-ish. What i do have is 8 other passengers who can collaborate who can attest to riding along. I even dressed as a chauffeur for the event. The fields were fairly wet and muddy, but there was just enough tack to get some good traction. The E brake on the car was a foot brake pedal that automatically disengaged when the transmission lever was in drive. And that meant you could stomp on the E brake and it would pop right off when you took your foot off of it. It worked awesome for steering the limo around sharp corners. At one point the track had a 360 degree circle that you had to maneuver through (marked with orange cones on both the inside and outside of the circle loop). I ended up coming in waaaay to hot and the rear end of the car spun out me. I didn't was to loose time, so i ended up slapping the column shifter into Reverse and cranked the wheel the other direction...effectively whipping the car the rest of the way around so that i was driving in reverse on the course. I kept that up the rest of the way around the circle, then on my exit i gathered up some more speed, hit the brakes just right, counter steered once again, and performed a perfectly smooth Rockford 180...all the while missing every single cone. Many jaws dropped on that performance. I wish there was video off all that hijinks!

 

Yeah that might be good to capture the wormhole research on the lifted cv boot options and clamps.

Guess I've worked on several 1st gen Toyota models over time. Actually I feel I've so much to learn from everyone about what I haven't done yet and some I have but could have done differently. Spent a lot of time on the LC forums previously. The bestgen has served me well and only recently needed a bit of work at almost 250k miles that led me here and really enjoying the fountain of knowledge and experience.

Good to see priorities of children and family!

 

Taco Bell was closed, the girls were on my tip
they said “go back the other way, let’s stop and eat at Dick’s”
Dick’s is the place where the cool hang out
The Swass like to play, and the rich flaunt clout
Posse to the burger stand so big we walk in two’s
We’re gettin’ dirty looks from those other sucka crews

 

In my head I heard it a little somethin like this...

Well, that got canceled. I guess we found somebody local to do it. I was really looking forward to 28 hours plus per diem for 2 days and to get away from this hell hole known as the VA.

We did have a successful shutdown this weekend. 12 on Friday and 14 on Saturday for a 66 hour week. I was dead tired going home and on Sunday.

 

Well that sucks. I gotta get this truck fixed in time for Panhandlemonium 2: Hallowheelin'.

 

A little rough start to the day here in West Michigan. Another full bowl of gravy for the linesmen.

 

Sounds like your running a Nuclear Reactor or some shit haha.
Your going to need that cash for those MODs you have written down!

 

Ha! No, just panel swap outs, but the VA acts like it's the end of the world. Teams meetings with these people is the absolute worst thing I've had to deal with. How these people can be so unironically stupid is beyond me. I say "this shutdown will only affect building 1". A voice comes in saying, "will this affect such and such in building 28?" I almost blurted out, "are you fucking serious?" And it's like this every shutdown. Minimum of 3 meetings.

 

Lol. 'Guess we'll just fa & fo.'

 

Any gear experts want to weigh in on my differential gearing mismatch?

Current truck has 3.909 gears and the LSD I picked up is 3.916.

I've seen trail rigs purposefully mismatch front/rear gearing, and some trucks come factory with a mismatch in the 3 hundredths range.

At only 7 thou difference I've already made up my mind to send it, But any comments would be welcome.

 

Just run a little less front tire pressure.

 

This was how I showed up one morning when I was about sick and fuckn tired of TeamsMeet and the lockdowns... and when the second level "superior" said I looked like a terra ist! LMAO

 

Hunt down some 265/70.1r17's

 

For science: when you get the lsd in, do a 5 second burnout, then swap those tires to the front.

 

Speaking of swapping tires

 

This right here though, is the perfect opportunity to share some wisdom....

When you run into these 2 options, you immediately greet both of them w/a neutral, yet eager, compliment such as... "Wow!!!! You are incredibly beautiful" (it's important to note here that the compliment must be singular in nature IE>> directed at only one of them)

The one on 35s will without question be thinking you are talking to her; she'll be smiling and may even step forward to distance herself from the one on 31s.... The one on 31s will probably break eye contact and may even look away as she knows the one on 35s always gets more 'attention'...

Yet, as you move in closer, your walk directly toward the one on 31s and even make direct eye contact w/the one on 31s (completely ignoring the one on 35s); you extend your hand; introduce yourself and offer to buy her a drink....

The 'truck' on 31s will do ANYTHING for you as you have given it (her) reason to feel 'lifted', special, and even larger than the one on 35s by giving her (it) nothing more than your complete and undivided (distracted) attention (even in the presence of some 35s)

You have given her (the truck) something to brag about and even rub in her friend's (the other truck's) face for the next year...



Good night folks!!!!

PS>>> Plus, that 'truck' on 31s, definitely has some crazy in it ... it'll definitely be a wild ride that night

 

Imagine the noise those would make.

 

See that's the thing you just have to be willfully stupid and don't think so that and just annoy everyone around you because you look cooler than them. #malllotcertified baby

 

It can be done Phantom Gray on 35s | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)

 

Especially when they hit the firewall

 

That rear bumper is hot as fuck

 

I love the phantom gray.

 

Well if you love it so much why don't you marry it then?
