1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Too much room for activities. About a week after offroad trips he’s hesitant to stand on the center console, but after 2 wks he tries to stand there in parking lots.

 

Hell yea! You’re rocking the suspension setup I’m aiming for as well. Truck looks great

 

I saw you thought your last setup was a little stiff. I wouldn’t call my ride post lift and tires super smooth, but it’s certainly fine. Can’t tell if it’s the shocks or the e rated tires. It feels controlled and racey, but not cadillacy.

 

Felt like even a speed bump at low speeds would send a shock through the truck. I know the little man wasn’t a big fan of it lol. Anything you’d do differently with your build or are you content with it?

 

When your ready to shop suspension, chat with @memario1214. He got me lined out on what I specifically needed for what I do.

 

I’m gonna grill a thick steak today.

made in TX from TX components…

 

Are the cattle and feed from Texas though?

Possible use of illegal alien labor in the slaughterhouse I imagine.

 

I dont know, wasnt happy with the heb selection. Going to the meat market.

 

There's a 14.6% chance nationwide to be eating Texas beef.

Cows finished on grains are fed a ration that is grown within miles of where the farm/feedyard is located.
Around here the national slaughterhouses are mostly staffed with legal Somali immigrants. illegal's haven't been working in slaughterhouses en masse for the last 10-15 years.

The beef I eat is raised 10 minutes down the road, is finished on a ration grown and stored another 5 minutes down the road, and is processed another 5 minutes back towards home. All local businesses/families/economy.

Edited for accuracy. 14ish percent from Texas nationwide. Safe to say if you're in Texas that probability is a lot higher.

 

'Attaboy

 

My cook only works for cash, and my taste tester only works for scraps. This whole enterprise is under the table.

 

Sad day. No room to fit these :/

 

Maybe bring one tomorrow and see if it fits the 5vz outlet... for science?

 

If you want both they’re yours. Free.99

 

I’m curious what the opening size is on the tailpipe side, OD/ID. I was kicking around the idea of buying some on the SGW auction site a couple weeeks back but didn’t because I couldn’t find that info. I’ve been mulling over the thought of possibly trimming my pipe back and tossing one on.

 

White Leer RCLB shell, with Windoors, $250. @Tundra2

Inman, SC. Has some imperfections like a chip in the front driver corner, but Crackie got some imperfections too so maybe it fits.

 

Didn't we have a thread for 1st gens for sale on other sites? Looks like a nice 4wd DC not far from me.

Damn, i deactivated my meta a few days ago. I'd love another cap, but I don't think I can swing the extra till I figure out how to get rid of this car payment (months in the future)

 

Pretty weird find. Bench seat, leather seats, sr5.

 

And to round out the night, an 06 Lucchese.

 

These forklift drums aren't too dissimilar from ours.

 

Shiny, newness, sure would be nice if we could order a whole pre-assembled backing plate replete with hardware for our rigs

 

I’d probably try to find a way to avoid e rated tires. I drove for about a week on my old tires (SL Michelins) with the new shocks and it felt really smooth. But the size tire I wanted (275/70/17) doesn’t boast a lot of options, and very few that are not e rated. I felt the trade off of having the tire I wanted in the size I wanted was worth dealing with the e rating. Hindsight being 20/20, I would tell myself to get the XL rated open country r/t trail. I’m sure they’re a little louder, but I bet they’re smoother.

And take this all with a grain of salt. I’m no expert at any of this.

 

I only have a want for one (assuming it'll even closely work) so the other one will be yours, unless DK does something different with them.

 

2.25 and 2.5 sections.

 

Nope they’re both yours to do with what you want sir.

 

Texas beef

It does

Old pic from my 99 taco. Can't see the laser etched TRD because I high temp painted black
