1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Ok ready to start LED project so read through mostly old threads on mini-projectors being preferred vs plug and play. Megathread points to here.

Didn't find Braveway @shifty` used from the rainforest so is the co-light Y6 still the min-projector to use?

Are these the plug and play kind of bulbs that don't need the projector mod?

TIA.

 

I got a small set recently that I really like. They were on clearance at NAPA. I've wanted a set for years but they are always so expensive that I held off.

 

I've done it a handful of times. I typically soak it with non diluted simple green then get as much off with the pressure washer. Rubberized undercoatings suck. Get bed liner in a can or a satin black paint for best results.

 

Whatever rubberized undercoating they used is awesome. I have gotten a single bit of rust underneath the wheel wells as a result in all the harsh salt laden winters I’ve driven through. Although I do religiously wash my undercarriage when it gets above freezing.

Any orher pickup I run into around here from the early 2000s usually has rusted out panels around the wheel wells.

 

Yup. Haven't seen this video in his channel yet, but the ratchet failures I was referencing get tested at the 12m04 mark. I make a point of never using ratchet wrenches to break fasteners free, it's served me (and my wallet) well.

Those Olsa look like a pretty good bang vs. buck ultra-budget buy, I'd trust just about anything made in Taiwan, like the Tekton. I use plenty of Tekton tools. I currently have a mix of Mountain and Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches.

Guy has a really awesome channel, one of my faves.
