1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Hey-oh!

 

Seem like @Nola 's boy would?

 

I'm surprised @VR6T didn't jump on this

 

Mine are probably 10 years old so if there's no takers and these are newer should probably consider after anyone else with higher need.

 

One of these guys will screw right into the oil filler.

lol shits gonna be down for a min. I've been looking into it. They say MAYBE by the end of this week it'll be up. But most likely a week or more.

 

The last time this happened (2018?) it went down on a Friday morning. Was down all-day Saturday. Came back on Sunday afternoon. I was called in at 2pm Sunday to create, flag, book and close roughly 60 ROs that I had. It took 6 hours.

 

I'm glad I'm just a shuttle. I'm sitting back, drinking a sweet tea, watching everybody write RO's and delivery/LC order's by hand

 

Holy fuck.

 

It's 80mph all over Montana. I put a lot of miles on my vehicles driving 2-3 hour trips to other towns, 80mph the whole way. I moved here not long after they did away with no speed limit on interstates...

And still, with an 80mph limit, I see jacked up full size trucks hauling 30ft campers absolutely scream past me on the interstate.

 

I'm good for a couple more years, thx

 

I'll price match and knock another $10 off.

 

U-bolt eliminator spring perch.

I'm leaning towards doing the front suspension first, and then doing the back so I can dial in a perfect level ride height. There's some ride height wiggle room when doing the new spring perches.

Also-Build thread or nah?

 

do these perches come in different breeds? Or is adorable the only option?

 

Dale! He's a good boy.

 

Yes, Dale needs a build thread.

 

Mandatory build thread.

 

With Dale in all the pics.

 

We like Dale pics, like a lot

Take notes, Polo.

 

conveniently absent at the bottom of the hill under a shadowy bridge just into TX from OK. An 85 zone would have saved me a lot of money.

 

Crusty Shock Bros!

 

@BroHon @Jack McCarthy


Why don't you guys move off that iceberg you call home and come on down south? It's nice I promise.
or Wyoming. 2.5 seasons, and they use sand on the roads(or dirt) in the winter.

@455h0le_dachshund @bmf4069 @FrenchToasty @Mr.bee

Everybody needs more Dale in their life.
I'll start a build thread once I actually get into things next week.

I ordered these guys yesterday, and they came this afternoon!Seller BoostProjects on eBay. 75k Items and based out of Grand Prairie for the Texas crew needing stuff pronto.


(feet pics for the sicko's)

 

yeah man

 

Dunno if anyone is interested, but the Magic Link unit, which lets you use wireless CarPlay on systems that typically only allow wired, is 20% off (-$20) on scAmazon today.

​

 

Fuuuckkkkk

 

And @TXTundraGuy23 see how @bmf4069 cut that single quart bottle in half, right above the half quart fill line? Do that too. Use the bottom half of the bottle to get that half-quart measure you'll need, then use the top half as your funnel. Works every time, 100% of the time.

FWIW, one other tip. You can forego a funnel if you want and you'll never spill a drop if you pour like this and shove the entire mouth of the bottle into the filler neck. It's counterintuitive, but having the short side of the bottle pointing down, the oil won't start pouring until you pitch the top to about the 9 o'clock position due to the bottle being underfilled, barely to the top of the logo on this example (note the measure lines on the side). By pitching the bottle up completely, and essentially letting it sit by itself with neck in the filler, almost every drop of oil will come out.

​

EDIT:

Because I explained that shitty, and FYI, I dunno about other motor oils but M1 bottles actually screw into the filler neck. I never spill a drop. Pitch like I said, then screw the damn bottle on. PROOF:

 

Is that green?
