1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

We've done those same setups, but au natural from Mother nature. The chimney logs burn really good.

 

a father figure has failed you. Penance is a 4” live log with a pocketknife saw.

jk. More airflow is always better, just dont forget the kindling.

 

I was a bit skeptical but this thing actually has pretty good reviews online when I looked earlier. It would be easy to transport too so I may pick a few up.

 

To be that guy. A lot of places it's technically illegal to transport wood from one area to another. Last thing you want to do is bring pests into the area you're staying.

If you have a mill nearby give them a call and see if they sell kiln dried slabwood. No pest issue that way and it's pretty cheap compared to other places.

 

No that's a fair concern. The firewood I bought earlier was heat-treated and safe to transport. TimberTote claims the same thing on their website.
But where we're going is an island accessible only by ferry so you HAVE to bring it with you. Last year I was lucky to find twigs for kindling.
This is from their website "Campers are encouraged to bring their own wood because the amount of wood available in the park is extremely limited."

 

I always bring my own wood. Wouldnt have it any other way.

 

Do y’all have mesquite out there? Or what do you mainly burn?

 

Mesquite and live oak. Sometimes post oak.

Sooo, quick search hits nothing useful, quick web searching for rago and slee also nothing gen-specific, on to my question.

If I desire an arb twin for my FGT RC, do I have any options for mounting brackets? Or is it entirely a custom fab dealio?

 

Custome(in Italian)
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone offer one for any of the best gen models

 

Pretty sure it's custom on these trucks.

 

Teaser sorry

 

Yeah, the potato chip cruncher

I am tempted to try something. I have a few brackets from the Tacoma which I'm not using which could potentially be modified to work. I will have to tinker.

 

Also, think outside the box, my friend with a 08 4runner found a company that makes under seat brackets. I know I have an amp under driver and I can cram my snatch…….. strap under the other seat. So maybe you could devise something Similar that might work there instead of the engine bay.
I know that might create other obstacles, but maybe more manageable than making the mount

 

Yo dawg, not to be hating before it's done, but would it kill to take a wheel brush to the firewall, then route the cable along the lip, behind the ground etc?

 

Are you saying to take a brush to clean the firewall, so I can securely mount it with sticky pads and zip ties?
Do you have the password to my garage cams?!?
This was just a test fit of wiring, compressor isn’t going no where(no where in a Boston accent) I was checking to make sure it actually reached the battery terminals, it does. I sent this pic to my buddy and he was like they actually make it to the battery?!(he just installed one under his 4runner seat)

everything will be tucked nicely behind any protrusions that are Navigable(is that a word?)

 

Where's he goin? F-in no-where.


My mom gave some of these bbq pork rinds to my wife to pass onto me. Pretty good. If you're into pork rinds that is. I get why someone wouldn't like them, but I don't eat bread and stuff anymore so pork rinds are as close to crackers and chips as I get unless it's a taco every two weeks or so.

Yeah, just some mild soapy water in a bucket, scrub the firewall. Takes 3-4 minutes if you multi-task while drinking a beer. Quick rinse and ... like magic, new truck! Not necessarily sticky pads and zip ties.

I was thinking more along the lines of something more-OEM and less redneck-engineering like CAVOLINE 'pro' clips.

I believe Northern Tool sells here in the US, and a 4-pack of the pro clips (they're roughly 1x1x1 with a 5/8" - 3/4" opening IIRC) would look pretty OEM and should stick nicely to the vertical surface about the firewall ridge if you Isopropyl it prior.

It's cuter when you don't show everyone your cards, horny guy.

 

Fancy Velcro!
Pretty sure we need a bunch of those at work as of yesterday

 

Behind the driver seat might work. On top of the jack.

 

Yea but now the safety clean is backwards!

 

That be me. AT3W’s and so far they’re proving to be the best tires I’ve had on this truck.

 

I got a practically new set for free I threw in the 02 Tacoma.. can’t wait to actually drive that truck and see how they feel/wear

 

That’s freaking rad. I expected some road noise but they absolutely blew me away by how quiet they are. These replaced a set of Cooper ATP that I almost ended up throwing through the front window of Discount Tire.

They seemed to run a bit larger than advertised though. I had to hammer down my pinch weld whereas the Coopers cleared them just fine.

I’m still sold on the ST maxx tires. But the falkens look decent enough. Time will tell how they work out for me

 

My favorite tire and they do wear like iron. Never ran them in colder climate so I can't comment on that but I'm not surprised at your experience. Pricey, so best to make sure suspension components are up to snuff or the investment in them will not pay off. Never used road noise as a criteria for tire purchase on a truck or Jeep. Cars, yes.

 

Looping back on this because I have a 25% off coupon and can score a good deal on some 9012 bulbs today.

The part I bolded in the quote above, trying to figure out what you're trying to say. Are either of these two sentences related to the first sentence talking about upgrading to notched 9012 bulbs on fogs?

 

The bottom sentence is about the headlights themselves

 

Never seen a slug this big in the wild.
