1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Continuing from other thread…

It’s amazing how a little trimming looks like a lot of trimming in a pic.

 

That rear end trim looks amazing.

 

Hopefully you have a plan for some of this stuff, they sell it for different thicknesses and different depths of coverage

Thanks brother, I like the line. We will see when I put my bumper back on, but I cut it before a tad and wanted a more defined look so cut again.

 

That may be the go to. I have some of this in black I have to find in this mess here.

 

Anyone here ever use a super capacitor jump starter? I'm thinking about getting one but I didn't see any with an air compressor built into it.

Supposedly some are better than others since they keep their charge better.

 

Hey @shifty` or anybody else, is this nitro cleaner roughly the same as deoxit? I have a Yamaha receiver that the volume knob doesn't work on. Thinking I've got nothing to lose giving it the juice.

 

Hot glued some temporary gray off color edge trim on the cut line. Put the bumper back with not much cure time on the clock. Living on the edge.

 

@alb1k I like that a lot. It's all subtle.

 

Thank you very much @Darkness . I think you got the same memo I did. The front is less subtle, but not stupid yet. I have a terrible idea though…

 

Looks Great Erik. Now you just need 35's..

 

New meme

 

Well, I'm getting the gears for it, lol.

 

Edit, maybe 33+, I never think of 35s for this truck.

 

Called in when I was out of town. Not optional. Apparently they need all hands on dick. Told them I was a ways out. Lol

 

I'd be careful. Deoxit F5 (Faderlube) cleans and lubricates potentiometers. Nitro cleaner will strip any lubrication out. If the volume control is a standard potentiometer, the nitro cleaner could ruin it. Some volume controls are light choppers and quit due to the build up of dust and other crud. The nitro cleaner might get rid of the crud, but it could also damage the lens on the light source and light receiver.

 

Good call, thanks. I'm gonna get some deoxit then. I also have a crc contact cleaner but I hear a lot of guitar guys swear by deoxit. Might as well get a can.

 

all hands on dick is interesting. do tell.

 

Sounds like no option to No-go.
Hopefully he will get taken care of…….
I get a lot of that all hands on deck but then get shit on and someone that did nothing comes in at the end and shines…..
lately I’ve been taking the day off and doing something productive if I can see the writing on the wall

 

Not to detract from any emergency any of you may have/had.
I have noticed as I get older that some emergencies directed toward me are not my emergency.

 

I don't know if snatching is broke for sure, but they said they were calling everyone in. Dayshift included. Something must be mega boogered.

This is how it was at the last place. Doesn't seem to be the case here yet.

 

Getting additional OT on a 2-2-3 rotation is "difficult." So I'm happy to go in for $45 an hour

 

Oh 100%!!!! That’s why I have no problem calling out if I know that’s what’s involved

 

Yeah it seems like your liking it there? Part of the crew now?
You would laugh at the new “kid” at our shop, you’d run circles around him just with enthusiasm

 

Oh. Let's say we get done in 30 minutes. That's automatically 4 hours because I'm a "call in." So theoretically, they might be done by the time I get there. Still 4 hours.

 

Lol, it's also why I told my boss and his boss that I was not volunteering for after hours call out.

 

I've got a lot in common with a lot of my coworkers so that helps, but I'm still hesitant to work on these big ass machines coming from little machines.

Pretty much on flashlight duty while I still learn where everything lives. Lol

 

You gotta imagine these machines are twice the size of a CSX locomotive so... little scary crawling around oily ass metal to get to a bad sensor or to clean something etc.

 

But I bet your killing it at shining the light!!!! Again this new kid just sleeps at the shop after coming in late, no one tells him what he needs to do so he just sits. I was worked sooooo damn hard as a newbie!! 110 degree heat at a job site that wasn’t air conditioned and had to drive back in a work truck with no Ac.
