1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

R O T F L O L !

 

I suppose everything in Texas IS bigger. You won’t see that around here.

 

Rednecks with oil money


Speaking of which...
I just picked up some goodies from @KTM_AJ421

I gotta figure out if these DC 2wd sr5 coils are the same or different lengths and spring rates compared to my AC 2wd Sr5 and AC 4wd TRD coils.
Going to swap out the 4600's on Elvira and her 360k mile Sr5 coils for the 5100's and some lower mileage coils. Then I'm probably going to ditch the front sway bar and just keep the rear sway bar.


Also fixed my subwoofer yesterday. I think it was just a bad connection one one of the wires going into the box. I bolted everything down better too. Before I kinda half assed it and I think all the bouncing around loosened things up.

 

Doing redneck sh!t obviously. I’d rather have a Lamborghini with the money they spent on that.

 

My dad met me at 6 AM today to road trip over to the Chattanooga LKQ yard and pick up an NLA part for the 02 AC. He has always been handy with cars or around the house and always willing to help and share the knowledge. As he's aged, I've tried to take on more of the manual labor role while he continues to provide insight and instruction.

This forum is definitely a great place for those of us maintaining these trucks. There's a solid foundation with the "So you wanna buy..." and other sticky threads. And there's load of folks here that are helpful and respond really quickly. I tend to pop in and out based on when I'm working on a Tundra project, but I try to make solid contributions where I can, too.

 

Thanks for mentioning, I'll definitely be doing this. I think I remember seeing that thread, I'll have to check next time I'm mucking around with the radio. Which will be soon! My backup camera has been sitting around too long

 

I just can't imagine being that patriotic in 2025. This country is a dumpster fire.

 

That it might be by your insights... It's still the best country in the world to live in. I have lived in several others myself.

 

I’d get out there to stay cool in the summer, but couldnt keep a garden running for a long weekend without help. Burnt my strawberries. Which were doing great before the rains.

 

How do you burn strawberries? Is that just from the sunlight?

 

Have you seen the poteet strawberry blonde Shiners this year? All I see is prickly pear Shiner. I like both.








So I'm trying to decide which rear shocks for the shock relocation

 

Does ADS make some for our trucks?

 

I'm not sure. But these are not for our trucks, they are 12" travel with eyelets on both sides, for a custom shock relocation similar to Beau and Erik

 

I haven't lived abroad but I've traveled a lot. Many countries have higher standards of living. That said, recognize that compared to most of the world, we're lucky. Doesn't mean things are trending well for us.

 

I've heard this movie referred to as "Skanks On A Chain".

 

I think that's a UBJ fail. It looks like the lower is still attached, based on how the wheel is pivoted. Video has been posted a few times on here as of late, it's hit a bunch of the viral fail video sources.

 

Wow. Someone is a vewwy special boi who needs wots uf attention, eh? People fucking kill me, dude.

What a snowflake.

Naw, I just think normal people recognize and understand how dangerous it is, being one step removed from what I'm posting here. What you see in this picture never happened here 20 years ago, but I've seen exactly this happening a hell of a lot lately, and it's always with trucks that look exactly like that. And that isn't cool, because unfortunately, what comes when this is widely accepted as OK and normal, is anything but OK and normal. That's why you don't see stuff like that in most modern, free countries around the globe. Marinate on that for a minute, and think about the bigger implications. It's one thing to love and adore where you live, and speak its virtues. It's another entirely to idolize it to the point you drive around with it on your sleeve and make it your entire personality/being/existence, while jamming it down everyone else's throat.

EDIT: And I'm saying that as someone who has also lived in other countries, for periods of time, across my decades on this planet.

Nah bro, that was Team America rolling through to save the mother fuckin day, yeah... Brazoria county (where I'm from) had an al qaeda training camp a few years back, supposedly.

 

(PS - note who's on bass )

Man, this video popped up after that one. I never really got into these guys, I know a lot of people did. The lyrics are dark as hell. An old friend of mine, Tom, looks like a dead ringer for the lead singer.

I couldn't imagine anyone else. He is the intro to South Park .

 

I just wasn't expecting to see him! And there were no beavers anywhere to be seen!

 

I like their song "Tyler"

 

Dang, another song about, ugh, potentially non-conensual, obsession-induced intimacy?

Did the lead singer ever kill anyone, or did he get all of his lyrics reading serial murder novels?!

Also, "chick" in the video looks strangely like Kurt.

EDIT: Lead guitar really loves that whammy bar....

Wait, we’re talking about patriotism, right?

 

she do alright that’s for sure. I got camping gear and fire wood plus the cab was full as well.
