1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I love skiing. Been doing it since I was about 10 or so. I have shit form, but I'm pretty good. I'm teaching my gf and her boy to ski, along with a few friends. I usually ski backwards in front of them so I can get pics/record video. If I'm not doing that I take up a perch and watch them ski down. We have a deal, don't fall in front of me. If you do you're getting dusted. They don't fall as much anymore.

 

We have the southern most ski resort in the country 30 minutes away, but it’s kinda a shitty mountain and definitely not for beginners. But we have two decent resorts 4 hours away

 

That sling cost me 600 2003 dollars! I still have it stashed somewhere JIC.

 

Is that Arapahoe or something like that?

 

Mt Lemmon; ski valley

 

Snow boating looks like fun.

 

Goto the Haverhill Ski area in MA and I guarantee you it’s still better than skiing off a sheet of ice from the lift drop off to 1/2 way down the hill.

 

Awesome! Dual use for the canoe!

 

This hurts my spine to watch, but 20 years ago I'd have been in the boat!

Well fuck. My daughter was doing laundry at my house and went to start her tree. Click. A nice healthy click too. Battery reads good, cables look fine, connectors are no worse than mine. Gave it 15 clicks in a row just to be sure. Nothing. I tapped on the starter with a long screwdriver. Nothing. Never happened before either. Day before she's going to Austin too. Bad contacts? Where do we get those?

 

Time to hit the snowboard park and do some rails and the half pipe!

 

If it’s the contacts. Most dealers carry them. Also need intake gaskets…….

 

Those fucking gaskets.....

 

does that sequoia have the bump start?

 

I’m thinking either @KNABORES or PHM bought them in the past. I might be wrong.

 

Not that year.

 

Will the crank turn?

 

Motor is fine; she drove it over here this morning after work.

 

Lights, radio, windows...everything working strong?

 

Pull ironman's starter and swap em.

What's one more set of gaskets?

 

My starter is giving the occasional clicks these days. I have a Toyota reman from the dealer to replace it this time. Likely nothing wrong with my original aside from needing contacts. I will rebuild it after removal and have a spare.

 

Everything works fine.

 

Lol. I sent her home in my truck. She's gonna take it to Austin.

 

FUCK. SHES GONNA PASS 333,333 ON HER WAY!

 

weird thought. hit the starter/intake with a heat gun and try to start it.

 

Jump start the tree and it will probably fire. The extra juice may help.

 

I blame electric starters & plastic headlights.
