1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

When I was a young whippersnapper, we lived in a house my dad had bought. At some point, before I can remember, he bought a second house. He rented out the house itself, but not the yard or the 2 car garage that he kept for himself. He was rebuilding a 37 ford cab with the rumble seat in that garage. I learned to ride a bicycle in the yard there. But yeah, worked great for him.

 

You would have loved the guest house I lived at for years, we knew them thru lifeguarding and high school, but the dad was a jazz band teacher, and the son was a instrument repair person. The sons wedding was super cool; all the dads students played music the entire night(fueled by free booze and food)
The parents moved to Willits CA for some reason and he did more jazz band up there; but he would always talk about students bringing in samples of their parents crop, he didn’t partake, so the other son with them would get to sample it all…..
super fun family!!!

 

Yeah, that does sound like a lot of fun! A live swing band at the wedding is something I want if I ever get married. I really want to get back into playing and do stuff like open jam nights.

Growing up I always wanted to be a music teacher and studio musician. I'm so glad I didn't go down that path though, because I wouldn't have near the same opportunities I do now. Plus there's always the saying don't make your hobby your job...

 

Lifeguards, Pfft

 

2 doors are better than 4.



because its all i can afford

 

What do you get to drive at work (if anything at all)? I always like seeing the lifeguard Tundras and Tacomas down here.

 

I wish we could morph this to a 1.5' less overall and a 1' less wheel base. But, it's roomy inside...

 

i have a roomy bed.. what more could you ask for?

 

It's a long story, for the last 15 years I've been driving the trucks you have been seeing to work. I had 24hr responses. I'm close to retirement and when asked to volunteer to be on call after hours I had a distinct answer. I drive my own Tundra to work now.

 

Everything. But seems like compromises are made.

 

ehh so you cant recline the seat more than 10 degrees.. so what? lol

 

His aren't even power seats though

 

Sounds like the seat I slept in taking Amtrak but without the lumbar support.

 

hopefullt the set i find is power.. i do like me a power seat these days... use to prefer manual.. but the much finer tunability of a power seat is welcomed these days.

 

I've always liked my power seats. Since installing the seat jackers, I don't have to adjust the front as high. As I get tired on a drive, I fiddle with the power adjustment and lumbar and it takes pressure off my spine.

Prior to installing the seat jackers, my front was always adjusted to max height.

 

I have so much power I don't rely on seat power. Unless you meant @empty_lord , I can't speak to what goes on there.

 

Shieeet. You right...

 

to be fair our reg cabs in good shape are worth more than most DC or AC for literally no reason other than they're rare. LOL

 

If you completely take out your backseat like I did it's almost the same thing, right?

 

Fuck, I still have a long long long way to go before crackie is "good shape."

Anyways, bout all that's left for me ATM is engine stuff, and suspension stuff that I can do on my own. Still gotta do something about body work.

 

Hell naw, to the nawl nawl nawl

 

That is totally fair. You should sell yours for what it's worth. I will never sell mine.

 

i aint selling shit. i cant replace this sucker for how much i have into it.

 

Oh, and by the way. Things are working out. I still love all you fuckers. Still got some big things on my plate, but I have a great base here and have found some footing with my personal issues. Got some absolutely phenomenal support in my personal life outside the forum now.

Still gotta finish that cake....

 

I know you ain't. That's why it's so easy to bait you. I know too much.

 

but do you know all?

fun fact. my whole job? i just wing it.

 

Crackie will be the same way for me.

 

Noah, fuck yes!!! Take care and all the time you need. I mean, the rest of us are still just fantasy camp with knowledge and experience(s), you feel me? Do your thing and take care of yourself.

 

I see a ton around here. Yeah, way more AC than RC but still RC isn’t rare. RC v8 4x4 is decently rare though.

I think we just have a ton of work Tundras down here. They have mostly replaced the smaller Toyota trucks for laborers.

 

I do not know all or even what I'm doing. I know what to do in the moment and how to talk to people. Seems to work.
