1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

There's no replacement for displacement...

 

For real. Best gen tacos were $15k-$20k new. They didn't need no gimmicks or nannies either. Just three engine options, two suspension options, and a TRD package with a rear e-locker.
Oh and of course an optional TRD supercharger for the 2.4L & 2.7L 4 bangers and another for the mighty 3.4L v6 5VZFE

 

watermeth would be a poor mans nitrous on 10k hills.

 

It's got what engines crave.

 

Or worse perhaps.

Looks good to me

 

First night of "teaching" went good. I was just kinda there to see how it's done. The kids were doing pipe bending and wiring in the "lab". 2 of my old apprentices were in there. I helped out teaching some pipe bending and figuring things out. I think it'll be pretty cool once I get into it, and it's better than sitting at the house bored and not making money.

 

Doing the thankless job man. I know it helps getting that cashina, but you're quite literally enabling the next generation of sparkies to do the job the right way. Kudos breau.

 

So are you teaching and still a foreman?

 

I read foreman as foreskin, and I thought you were clever.

It sounds cheesy, but it's really not about the money. Hell, it's only an extra hundo a week. I keep getting these 2nd and 3rd years that don't know how to do shit, and all the ones that I've crossed paths with have said I should teach because how much they learned from me. I just hope I can do a little good and educate some of these little shits.

I call us foreskins all the time. It's more to poke fun at the cocky MFers who think they're hot shit because they're a foreman. I couldn't care less about a title. But yes, I run the VA during the day and teach some nights.

We're actually bidding on another project at the VA. $63M for the whole job. I think around $5M for ours. 2 years that'll turn into 5 because .gov job.

 

I'm surprised I haven't seen something like this yet from some of the idiots that have been joining this forum lately lol

 

cv axel is prime though

 

Is this wheel stuffed... or just sitting ride hight?? (on the bumpstops)

 

what it looks like is there is no suspension travel.

This is the equivalent of throwing 12k kg/18k kg springs on slammed VW's with -22 camber.

Might as well just weld in a 1/4" square tube where the spring would go LOL


Like honestly, that spring is so preloaded, it's probably in the neighborhood of 18-20k kg

 

I'm more concerned about the hardware the Trail Disaster subs in for UCAs

 

That knuckle spacer, WITAF?!

 

Trail Master

 

Might be mastering that trail on foot

 

The angles look so whack in the photo above. Like, it's just dying to collapse...

 

They make spacers that tall? Wow, it’s about as tall as the spring itself. No bueno.

 

Incongruent

 

Askew.

 

That's why we call it the trail disaster.
