1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Would something like this bother either one of you?

 

Yeah the birds nest is what I'm referring to

 

It's like unwrapping a gift.
Unscrew the base & remove.
unscrew the back & remove.
pop those staples (carefully) & remove the cardboard.
remove the staples holding the vinyl on.
Wait, take another look at where the welting (ridges) lays on the seat - you want that right when reassembling.
Okay, open seat, remove the cotton batting. (You'll have a layer of cotton on top of the foam.)
Replace foam. it's probably spray glued to plywood, but the glue may be only a serving suggestion at this point.

Regarding the foam. It comes in different density, the light & cheap stuff will go bad quickly. Splurge on a good high density foam.

Reassembly is the reverse.
Tools - small straight screw driver, staple remover thingy, Philips screwdriver, electric carving knife (for foam), spray glue for foam to plywood, new foam. The cotton batting on top of the foam is probably good, I doubt it needs replaced..

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Heathen!

 

I grew up in the opposite scenario. Mother is a pack rat/hoarder. Father is a cleaning freak.

Like oil and water, I still don’t know how they got along. I am neither.

 

Any upholstery shop will do it for you if you bring them the top and bottom. May cost you a c-note or two. They’ll carefully unstitch both halves, and use the old fabric as a template to build a new cover. The welting around the edge is something they can easily do, or you can have them do something custom. The styling is similar to what you find in bass boat seats, if you can find a shop that does boat seats, they may do it cheaper. Dunno!

Looks like you like the P to me. Doesn’t bug me at all. IDGAF.

 

Anyone looking for a dirt track? @Mr.bee how's this for parking grandma?

Alright fellow old ass truck owners. I am now looking for another set of 17" wheels for the Tundi. Looking for suggestions for 5 spokes in 6x139.7. NO STARFISH, OEM patterns are best, hit me with what y'all like.

Don't care what they originally came one, can need repair, no excessive metal damage.

 

I am fond of these, despite not liking aftermarket that much. Can’t explain why. Tempted to get them but I have 6 sets of 16’s so tire-wise I’m scared. But at some point I probably need 17x8+ to run bigger tires on the FGT.

Same Same... didn't realize until my Dad died what a disgusting filthy hoarder my mother was, But now the reason for all the bitching and pitching my dad did every weekend became Crystal Clear. Poor dude, Finally got some rest

 

I'd love to play around on a dirt track with the 03.

 

Dad needs an investment property. You can manage it for him.

 

Limited 17's from first gen Tundras and Sequoias.


TRD Sport 17's from second gen Tacoma


TRD Sport 17's from turd gen Tacoma


I'm drawing a blank as to any other 17" five spoke Toyota wheels.
Lots of 17" 6 spoke Toyota wheels though.

SCS has some sexy 5 spoke wheels.



Edit: I forgot 17" Lexus GX 5 spoke

 

I could see me and @Mr.bee making something cool out of that place. Maybe even profitable.

Use it to make racing videos of our builds.
Get some YouTube fame.
Charge people to use the track.
Host a few events.
Do some cheap car challenge death races.

Basically follow the model set forth by Cletus McFarland.

 

Those are nice.

 

I need this.

 

Gonna make racing great...as it used to be. No safety rules.

 

I just want to rip rooster tails and slide my pickup's ass around the corners in the dirt haha.
Then find some sub $1k junkers we can get running "good enough" to race in a circle, while simultaneously trying to pit/spin out and generally wreck into one another.
If you ain't rubbin, you ain't racing meets demolition derby.

Also would be cool to make a dirt "street course" from part of the remaining 28 acres. Ok technically I guess it would be a ralley course. Something with left and right and u turns.

 

Not 5 spokes but I always liked these. Lots of options in that thread too.

Texas crew, be careful. A lot of wind and water potentially headed your way. Now would be a good time to finish that diff breather mod if you've been procrastinating.

@The Black Mamba might get to test his snorkel.

 

Thanks brother

 

Those are my daily wheels, great minds in all I guess

 

So you specifically want different OEM wheels in 5 spoke?

Not OEM but the SCS F5 is my favorite wheel. Assdog shared them already.

 

heres to hoping.

 

Yeah someone saying you really need the rain right? Hopefully it doesn't turn into flooding. I'm hoping we get some rain out of it too.

 

I’m topping of the house batteries just in case I need to run a fridge or coffee maker off of the inverter

 

That’s the problem, the ground is dry enough that heavy rain will just run off. We sure could use a couple of days of just steady rain

 

Don't forget to schedule RV racing days, bus day, towing an RV trailer day... Top Gear got those things right.

 

Assdog already showed my favorite SCS Gen5, but they sadly (per comms directly with them) don't make them in the "colorways" they show in their own pics, so I couldn't get the colors I wanted personally.

Thesekeep popping up in my FBM feed and I actually like them. I've never heard of this Circuit Offroad company before. Would fit almost identical to what I've got. If the guy was closer and would take $750, I'd actually buy these as a second set, I think.

Y'all ain't got a drop yet?
