1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Excited to play with my mck this weekend. Getting bulk 9mm at cost. Probably gonna do some of that noodlearm cheatcode shooting.


They got a mck for a dagger.

sidenote, whats that song where the '?british?' rapper is making gun noises with his mouth?

 

@Mr.bee so you didn't approve of any cam selections. I'm thinking that means you want me to buy a Bullet supercharger for the racetruck instead. I can dig it.

 

What's broke?

 

Gimme a couple weeks to do some research. An e85 turbo cam might rock for a $6k longblock. & lenco 5 speed.

 

Pretty much all the tabs that hold it to the hood.

 

I mean you got some time. I'm pretty broke for another two months haha

 

If that's ABS plastic they used on it, I'd probably use MEK to (with proper respirator) make ABS slurry, and re-weld the tabs on. Lots of videos on how to make ABS slurry, linking one example below, but I cannot condone or support this. Note that MEK isn't required but is effective, and you can't get MEK in some states (staring at you, Cali), authentic acetone will work supposedly too. Note that MEK and acetone **WILL** melt thinner ABS plastic like the thinner clips on our AC rear doors. Ask me how I know.

PS - You can tell if something is ABS or not based on what color flame is created when you burn it.

I'm thinking a 5.7/6speedslushbox swap is the way.

 

But my Transgo A340 shift kit just arrived at the house.

 

Willing to help, but i believe its gonna kill the tranny. And they're not gonna be happy about that.

 

Who is they?
I'll get it professionally done when that time comes. There's a few reputable tranny shops around town.
I'm not doing the "hotrod" setting. I'll do the "truck" setting.

I remember these as a kid for the stint we lived in Cali. He must’ve splurged on airtime b/c I swear it was running at least once or twice per hour.

His commercial sucked though

 

I remember that dog being a brahman bull...

 

This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

I should have gotten a double cab. I just like the way the access cab looks more. I love this truck, but might be in the market for something bigger. Not 100% sure yet, but definitely looking at options vs not.

 

is it possible will one of those fit in a fgt?

 

Received a new toy today. My XRU04Z trimmer, although still spinning at almost 6K rippems on high was no longer powering thru even not so thick grass. Not sure what the hell happened to it. Anyway my new XRU23Z arrived today. Shits nice. Powers thru thick grass like a hot knife thru butter. It has a tiny shield on it so my legs started getting covered in grass quickly. Fuck it's hot out. I not sure if the controller went out in the other one or what since according to my digital laser rippems measuring device it still spins plenty fast just has no guts.

 

Looks like the original Batmobile.

 

Engineers shouldn’t go near soldering irons.

 

Downsize to a RCLB, build it for go fast shenanigans, sell it for an access cab because you want more space.

 

Access cab is best cab

 

Oh I agree, but I came from a crewmax and just in a chapter in life where I need that back seat. The goal has always been to keep this and build it, but I might have to change gears and revisit an AC later down the road.

 

Somebodies been making babies

 

Meh, pull the seats temporarily and install baby cages in back. As they get older, adapt. Then when they get double digits like mine, hope they can make it long enough back there ‘til they get their own vehicle.

 

This shit may be too bright? Do it look ghetto?

It's just held on place with clear tape atm. Haha.

 

its not off the table to keep it, but I doubt anyone would pay what I want for it either. In my ownership it’s been meticulously maintained and refreshed with the intent to never sell, but that was optimistic wasn’t it lol.

 

Not sure what I'm looking at, aside from a hot-pinked out taillight

 

Lol. Camera makes the light rope look white and the tail light look pink. It's a 5mm wide light rope. I just have it taped near the edge of the light. I want to put it just on the edge of the red reflector plastic to give it an nice LED outline. I like the look of the LED outline on my Ferd lights and was going for a similar look but it may not work too well. The LED elements are really bright and wash out the red plastic covering them. I'd probably have to add some red tape to darken it some or use a dimmer to lower the voltage or something. No sé. Still a work in progress. Lol.
