1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

This is my first time using a background editor.

What do you guys think?

 

i love my navian boiler...

 

@empty_lord hey man do you know of any shops around our area that does undercoating for vehicles frames? As long as its within a couple hours of me its fine.. I've gotta get some woolwax on my old girl, or I could pay you a couple hundred to do it too lol

 

Why not just buy the kit and do it yourself? By the time you pay someone you could have the sprayer paid for and get to use it every year after that for only the cost of the wool-wax.

I do mine each November with just the spray cans and it doesn't take me that long.

 

I probably will just wanted to shop around

 

Ah, the sweet smell of tobacco barns ablaze always roots me, and brings back memories of better times.

A staple of this time of year for my region.

 

Should I get the 4 can kit or the 12 can kit? Not sure how many it might take and if anyone else has an idea

 

Always stock a little more than you think you're going to need.

Does the stuff go bad?
Probably not. I can't say for sure as I've never used it.

Will it take up some room sitting on a shelf, or whatever?
Yeah, a little bit.

Have extra for next years coating if it doesn't take a whole lot?
Not a bad idea.

 

I'd rather just buy it again next year lolol

 

My situation is a bit different becauase I'm only trying to protect the frame. If I was up north, and knew I was going to be driving in salt/brine for an entire winter, I would spray everything.

I'd say this kit would probably be plenty for you but you can always google it. I know on Tacomaworld they do Wool-Wax days where they meet at someone's house and have a line of trucks they spray. Maybe you could try to organize one for your area and make some money in the process?

Awesome, let's crash a Taco party!

 

I don't have any experience with this outfit, but check them out:

We can go there and tell them what parts we have on our trucks like the turd gen guys do to us.

 

Only places I know of only do rubberized undercoating that I highly advise avoiding at all cost

 

Dude I know! It's so annoying... I'm literally calling all of the so called shops around here and all of them are only rubber undercoatings. It literally makes zero sense to me at all

 

I'd be tempted to use them just to power wash the underside, and then perform media blasting.

Just pay for that service, and drive off so I can do Woolwax on my own.

 

Well the cheap corolla is all fixed up and ready to go

 

That looks great! How long before you put a supercharger in there?

 

No supercharger. It’s my car just like the last, but I let my father drive it to work so it stays stock for now




I will turbo it one day if he no longer needs it

 

Ziebart has 2 separate products, they've got a rust proofing and an undercoating. I wouldn't get the undercoat but the rustproofing was done on my truck when they Rhino lined the rockers.

 

Moving this to the lunchtable thread.

Interesting!

@theblurry1 I will be watching your install with great interest. Remote start is something I've considered. It would help me start the truck from the porch, and allow it to warm up like I like before taking off.

Now, I have the lock/unlock fob. Would it be possible to integrate the existing system to the viper fob, or move the lock/unlock function to the Viper Fob only adding the remote start function?

Am I making any sense?

Add remote start to factory fob without adding the extra cost of a lock/unlock viper system?

 

You have to do the whole sheabang.

 

You can't move the remote start over to the factory key fob, unfortunately. True, the Viper remote start only system is $49, but it's no fun carrying two separate key fobs. FWIW, I picked up my

$85 Viper 4105V 1-Way Remote Start System

Viper 4105V (version2) from eBay, manufacturer refurbished at $69.

Besides, the door lock/unlock function only requires two wires to splice into. Super easy, I'll see if I can get pics of my friend's install. Those two wires are right at the kick panel.

 

Found this in the last trailer we finally opened up

 

Antenna in the glass?

 

AM. the FM is on the roof. the little square

 

@Pucks18 Why don't you just go to the website & put your zip code into the dealer locator search box?
