1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I heard this voice...

 

Thanks guys. Trying to figure all this out.

 

You got this.

 

I dont mean nothing by it, a little friendly heckling goes a long way. Wait until the next sale and pick yp the lbjs and bolts from a dealer. Or have em mailed to you from ourisman or whatever the cheap dealer is.

 

If you click on the top 2 or 3 links, those are usually adds that dgaf about what you searched.

 

Don't worry man, I've been here like 7 years and still don't know what's going on.

 

That’s wild, I have one of those in my garage for my kids and my wife makes fun of me for using it

 

FGT’s everywhere!?!?
It was rare to see one locally, then about 2 months ago starting seeing more and more. 2-3 a week go by working hard.

Just had another I’d never seen before go by where I was working pulling a trailer load of material.

Guessing I’ve probably seen a half dozen different ones in past 2-3 weeks.
Majority are 2wd.

Don’t know where they suddenly started coming from..or what suddenly made people start buying them instead of one of big 3’s as work trucks.

 

You notice how you dont remember every nissan sentra? When you’re in the club, you notice em.

 

There’s at least 10-20 in my small town that I see regularly. Most in decent shape, a few beaters. Money is the answer. New trucks are ridiculously expensive, and much less reliable.

 

I rarely notice them in time to get a picture.

 

This is my signal to other best gens, but i havent gotten it back. Mostly rolled eyes and confusion. One guy even wanted to fight about it.

 

No pic, but I can only imagine.

EDIT: Pic came through suddenly a sec ago. He's a goddamn water sprinkler.

 

my impression to check the radiator, i dont know how to signal a broken balljoint without making it offensive.

 

You just gotta go for it. The onus is on the interpretee, not the message sender.

 

I’ve been noticing them even when I was still looking.
I think There are just more of them now.
I’d like to see how those 2wd fare pulling a trailer up some of the hills here. There are few gravel roads so steep most trucks can’t get up without 4wd engaged especially when pulling a trailer.

 

Its the same as my tundra handshake.


Gotta pretend to go in for a fist bump, then grab em. When they pull out make a pop noise.

 

I was speaking with my Rheumatologist this morning... getting old ain't for pussies, especially if you spent most of your life working with your hands and have sustained injuries along the way. Arthritis and neuropathy transform once easy tasks into real challenges... these days just picking up and holding onto hand tools is sometimes painfully laughable for me.

 

You’re bringing me back to my youth getting chased out of abandoned warehouses in the middle of the night.

 

I have a 2wd titan. Its adequate, but a 4x4 would be 10x better. Everything about the titan is better than the tundra, but i caught the offroad bug before electric axles and lipo batteries. I could fit 60hp & 360lb.ft in the void where the titan misses the front diff. Even using stock cv axles. I’ll hit 300k in 160 miles.

 

My dad is blind, I 1000% know how to do this.

 

I love audiobooks. It's how I stay sane on my daily commutes and has cut down my road rage pretty significantly. I just drive and disappear into a story.

 

Poor guy

 

You know the AC hype convinced mohoman into thedarkside. His truck was really really nice.

 

you know they’ve got badass robot arms nowadays. I’ve seen the boston dynamics dog & want one or 2.

 

Dude forgot to turn off his preset before he went on tv.

 

I’m ready for an exoskeleton good for 1000lbs lifting.

 

LOL. None at all.
I only mention it because for a work truck here on my little edge of Kiamichi mountains if you don’t have 4x4 on a half ton work truck you’re very limited on being able to get a trailer up lot of hills on some of the back roads.
When four-wheel-drive in my GMC konked I had problems getting to and out of lot of places.
Some I knew better than even try.

Some of the rental cabins still state “Must have 4x4 to access!”

My GMC is still 2wd but it’s very limiting on where I can go.
If don’t have a trailer and get a big enough run at it I can make it up a lot of them. But there 2 I’ve tried……..never made it.
