1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Twas no arguing on my end, sad that you feel that way. Toyota calls em what they call em. Simply giving you what they had in the FSM. I’ll know better next time.
I do better at rock, paper, scissors.

 

Rock Auto hasn't had any Denso alternators for a week or so. Hopefully a temporary shortage.


I just had a guy on Facebook marketplace offer to trade me a crossbow for my electric dirt bike I have listed. Another person made me a half price offer.

Meta marketplace is awful.

 

You already selling it? Didn't you just buy it like 6 months ago?

 

He came to his senses and realized he needed a gasser. He also wanted a 125 and I also brought him to his senses and told him to get a 250 since he's not a complete noob to riding.

For the 150a alt and the

$183 TKT-021 Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump - Compatible with Select Lexus GS400, GS430, GX470, LS400, LS430, LX470, SC400, SC430 Toyota 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tundra

TKT-021 timing belt kit, I had to wait until they emailed me it was in stock before I could order. I missed like, two opportunities to buy the timing belt kit before I was successful.

I need one of these. But $15k is too much. I wonder if they'd take 100 $100 bills instead.

2-stroke 700cc and a 5-sp? Hot damn. I'd ride it. Somehow I'm sure it'll give me less shakes than the ol' 490.

 

I came to the conclusion the planet is already screwed so I might as well get a gas bike. After dealing with marketplace for a week I think I'll just keep it for now and buy a gas bike later.

 

What's with the Chevy?

 

part this out and set the back half on a boat trailer.

No wtf are you talking about? Lol

 

Ehem, GMC. We're luxury around here, bay-bee. But it's one of my pop's trucks. It didn't even notice that weight behind it. Never-ending power, but it rides like a horse compared to my truck.

 

My mistake. I didn't know how fancy it was. I only knew how disappointed I was to see it instead of your truck.

 

What I like most about the thing is the air-conditioned seats. And the exhaust brake. I'd haul things in it all day instead of the Tundy. If it was my truck, I'd use it to haul my Tundra to trailheads/ basecamp.

But, even with trailer brakes, that load would have pushed my truck straight through a sudden red light. My truck has seen a dump trailer before, and it doesn't need to again.

 

Well when you put it that way... You had me at A/C'd seats

 

I am a pretty shifty guy, don't let me sneak up on you, honey.

Nah, it's not on you, "arguing" was wrong word, "debate" is more like it. I know @daveeasa and you and others are correct, I'm just slow on the uptake sometimes. Nothing new here, I make plenty of mistakes going from memory these days, it happens often. But it's still perturbing for me, and my complaint remains valid in my mind: Male inserts, female receives, so it's weird when what's happening with the pins is the exact opposite of what's happening with the molex.

Hunt for the gas bike. If you can't do a partial trade for the gas bike, then list the electric after you find the gas.

 

I think it’s in my build thread on TW

 

This? Busted links for me.

maybe this, lots of hosed images, could well be my work url filtering crap.

Yeah, this has some shots, I'm guessing that's passenger side behind the glove box? Or maybe driver side with crap removed which I haven't removed in a long time? But airbag would indicate passenger side since driver bag is in the wheel, yeah?

Definitely my work laptop filters some crap.

 

I've been pouring over monthly expenses, and finances. Building plans years out. I might sell crackie...

 

And buying a DC?

 

No.

 

Driving the subie?

 

Probably. I haven't decided yet. I need to finish revamping assets and liquidate.

 

I'd bolt a carseat in crackies bed before riding in a wagon with a kid.

 

Subie probably worth more this year than next year.
Crackie probably worth worth more next year than this year.
Virus, well that's just sunk cost.
Now is the time to be selling a trailer. Get anything visual done before buyer gets to seeing it IRL.

 

Selling hard assets is a short term solution to a long term problem (financial wealth). The long term solution is a steady job and home ownership + 401k + market investments (terrible market right now though).

 

I'd sell Crackie, Subie and Virus and buy a DC, but that's just me... And probably Frenchy and Dez.

 

At least it seems like he's got a decent paying job that he enjoys. That's still a life goal of mine.
