1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

If anyone is gonna be in Flagstaff for lunch tomorrow holla

 

I’ll send smoke signals at 3pm @smoke signals

 

Well be there really damn close to 3, depending on how early we leave. Jon still hasn't got here yet.

 

Not that far ... I drove 5 hours to DFW and another 5 to Amarillo (by morning). Left home at 12:45, arrived at 01:15

 

Now that I have the timing belt/water pump and the lower ball joints/tie rod job done, I finally don't have that nagging voice of worry in the back of my head when I drive the Tundra. Every bump or pot hole that I hit the voice said "don't break", hah.

It's nice to have peace of mind when I drive it now.

 

Wait for real?!

 

They're called "cellphones".

 

I know 4 of you have my number and you have my address

How do I text on this thing?

 

You need to put a call in to Alexa and let her know what you’re texting.

 

We broke up, I'm with Siri now.

 

I do miss my '05 stepside Limited 4WD with the Eaton rear LSD. I fixed her up pretty good. No rust to begin with, bought it used from New Mexico, 110K miles. Bilstein 4600 shocks installed, Hellwig rear swaybar, Hellwig rear helper springs. SAIP bypass for the 4.7l.

Leer 100 shell with opening sliders. Stepside was a good combo with the opening side windows on the shell. Slapped 3M griptape on the steps to avoid slipping and losing a kneecap reaching into the bed.

Well, carry on with your 1G's. Any other stepside owners, chime in.

 

@Acedude is that a Holiday Rambler in your profile pic?

 

It's an Airstream trailer Shelby and her pals at souldog.org converted to a mobile spay/neuter clinic pulled by a 2019 Sequoia. That pic is from somewhere on the Navajo Rez out in the boonies. Nice pair of generators, eh? They know what they're doing, but always need financial help.

 

It has all the body lines of an airstream. Ive just never seen an airstream painted or wrapped

 

A giant space dildo? Is that a real thing?

 

I should've given you a courtesy text, my bad. I ran up to Ft Worth via 35 and bypassed Dallas.

 

Sad we missed you

 

Maroon/salsa red DC shell, nice shape, $200, Greenville SC. One side has a windoor.

 

In today's market, that's pretty damn cheap

 

I'd say it's a steal.

 

Why does it have to be a DC and so far away!

 

Dang me... Was out fishing and missed this... Oh well at least I was catching some nice trout.

 

They upped the price to $350 also, apparently.

I have commitment issues when it comes to shop stickers. It probably stems from trauma as a child after I covered part of the family car with stickers, much to my parent's dismay. The local Michael's craft store has magnetic sheets with an adhesive backing. I picked up some of the sheets for smaller stickers and a roll for larger ones
5" x 8" Sheets
12" x 24" Roll
These sheets let me turn stickers into magnets. I start by trimming off a piece of the sheet big enough to easily hold the sticker. I peel the backing off the sticker and the magnetic sheet and carefully lay the sticker on the sheet.

Then I take a sharp pair of scissors and/or an Exacto knife and trim off the excess.

After that, you can put it wherever you want. Here are the ones I've done since borrowing and working on my brother's 2002 AC.

If you decide you don't like the arrangement, it's simple to move things around.

 

Took this photo because the surf looked really good. Ended up getting kind of a cool shot with the best gen in the frame

 

Pretty proud of how clean Ravioli looks at 163k mile. I'm replacing the valve cover gaskets and spark plugs.

 

I got a lead on an AC one in Dallas. $300

 

Okay who is running skinny 34s and what’d you do to get them to fit.

 

You fucker. Just saw this.
