1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Yeah, I have been in the EPC.. I have that seal washer on the passenger side. At least i think I do. I'm not planning to dig it out ATM. I may use a bit of leftover FIPG

 

Yesterday, I noticed a chip near the top of the driver tail light. It hasn't rained in a while and I haven't noticed water pooling in the bottom. So, I thought I'd nip this in the bud and pulled out the clear silicone. I dabbed on enough to cover the hole and patted myself on the back. When I looked at my "repair" this morning, I discovered that the silicone had balled up and rolled down inside the light assembly leaving the hole wide open. I'm open to suggestions on a better way to seal the hole.

 

PM your VIN, I can try to look for it tonight, maybe tomorrow AM.

 

If you’re willing to use silicone……
Just get some good clear packing tape and clean the plastic before you apply

 

little chip? packing tape worked for quite a while...

 

I think Chip hit puberty and became Chonk.

 

FTFY.

 

It kinda looks like a Ford Excursion now

 

Clear packaging tape is what I used when I accidentally rammed my rear bumper into my driver side tail light. Been holding up for 6 years. It's hardly noticeable despite being cracked and descintegrating. But no condensation inside the lens.

Clear tape mod. See the crack?

 

Heyo! Congrats new dad! Welcome to fatherhood, where we’re all just doin our best.

 

Yea.. I see a lot of these cars end up on fire due to neglected fuel lines or old wiring.. I keep a fire extinguisher in both of them, mounted to the passenger seat right in front of the seat

 

It looks like the pre-Excursion Ford Gladiator conversion for the F-350 crew cab. John Deere had one that they brought out near our house testing new tractors and combines. It had 3 sets of doors on a long bed F-350 Crew cab frame.

 

Remove the instrument cluster from your dash, unscrew the clear plastic screen cover, pry the speedo needle off its post, find a flat straight highway and set the cruise control to 60mph on the GPS. Carefully press the needle back onto its post while maintaining that 60mph.

 

Got the ol Scag cleaned up a couple days ago.


My grandparents bought it new in 02 and I now unfortunately am the one that has to cut their grass, I don't mind doing it but seeing them grow old hurts some.

Sometimes I feel like I hardly have enough time cutting 3 yards every week and half or so but then I usually think of @Bought2Pull and maybe 3 yards at about 7 acres total isn't so bad.

 

Sweet tiger stripe fender cutouts. That the original power unit on that mower? We've had a Hustler since 2006 and had to repower in 2019 due to worn rings creating smoke, low power and blowby. Went with another Kawi V twin, but bumped up to 28hp from the original 23hp. Cuts like a dream still.

 

Enjoy it while you can. All my grandparents have passed. Never met my grandpas. One grandma died when I was young. The other when was in college.

 

Clean mower wednesday?
Bent my blade, cause im a dumbass, so i cleaned it up while waiting on a new one. Newer wheels, too. Fatties up front.

 

Those 285's?? Do they rub?? What's the backspacing on those? What cut setting up front did you have to go with to clear them? Caster still good?

 

Deck is bent, so it pulls to the right a bit. Jacked all the way up. This is my brushhog. You can kinda see my ‘nitrous spring’ the black wire keeping it above 4krpm in the clean pic.



i wonder how i managed to bend the blade…


deer are gonna end up fired if they keep slacking.

 

Boer goats are cheap.

BBQ cabrito when you're over em...

 

Looks like he needs some new UCAs. Lets just hope he used OEM LBJs.

 

The double bubble seal (well, half of it) i used on my cap has been living on my valve cover for 2 years, and the double sided foam tape i used to secure some wires has been living on the engine cover, in the sun for at least 2 years. Kinda surprised how good that stuff sticks with minimal prep.

 

Anybody need a 2004-06 DC bed? $300 in Lehighton, PA (not mine)

 

So I added new H/L lenses and H4 bulbs to my 06 along with the yellow fog lamps that shifty mentions in the Upgrade thread. The end result is that I have low and high beams but no indicator on the instrument panel that my highs are on. My foglights do not come on at all. My research has led me down to adding a resistor like the one linked below. My question is, should I order two sets; one for the H/L's and one for the fogs?

Headlight circuit is your issue. Most people find installing one resistor, typically on the passenger side, will create enough load on the headlight circuit to fix the issue.

If you buy quality brand LEDs for the headlights, ones that are truly 'canbus ready', you shouldn't see this issue. Canbus also uses resistance (LEDs often have lower resistance) to determine if the bulbs are good, and for proper functioning of the electronics in the circuit.

I am currently running BraveWAY/COLight H4 projectors (LED) with the yellow LED Diode Dynamics SS3 fogs, no resistor, and all is good. So I presume your new headlights are the issue, not the fogs.

 

Thank you sir.

 

Those are the ones I used on mine. On my 03, high and low LED headlights worked, but if I turned on the fog lights, headlights would be stuck on high without the high beam indicator. Didn't matter if I had halogen or LED fogs installed. I used both of them, some people have had good luck with just one, I installed both because I didn't need yet one more random thing floating around in my drawer of automotive bulbs.

 

I’m thinking about screwing a kinda carved 4x4 across the front, and running a solid axle under that.

 

What it really needs are some Raptor lights across the front.
