1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Here's the plan, newfound friend, man.

1. Wire wheel.
2. Ospho.
3. Cure time
4. Wire wheel again to remove the "ospho slag."
5. Prep for POR
6. POR-15, and cure time.
7. Grease rub.
8. Pb blast.
9. Reassemble.

The reason I'm wire wheeling again (#4) is because during my bumper support testing anywhere there was "Ospho slag" the paint flaked/chipped off exposing bare metal. Ng²

I learned during that how NOT to do the frame so I do NOT waste my time. If the paint chips, and starts to rust without me knowing it? Well, whats the point?

This just happens to be my first rodeo, and I hope I NEVER have to go into this much detail on THIS trucks frame ever again.

I realize the way I'm choosing to do this is incredibly time consuming, but I can do this.

As @Professional Hand Model told you... rust never sleeps.

 

@FrenchToasty I finally found the right canopy today to use during my curetime waits incase of rain during the night/day.

10X10 collapsible canopy I picked up from rural king. It was in the clearance section. I figured, "eh, what the hell? Maybe I can get a few days out of it at least."

At the end of the day I will put the canopy up, and then collapse the legs down to "hunker" the top as close to the truck as possible.
In the morning time, extend legs, and move out of the way allowing all natural sunlight in.

 

I have driven up & down quite a few of the states on the eastern half of our country and there is picturesque and beautiful places all over. You find yourself parked on the side of the road with a cup of coffee just admiring. Unfortunately, I am not welcome in many (majority) of these places.

That my friend is damn shame

 

What did you doooo? Was it the pastors daughter from every other town?

 

I've set up a lot of those things and even the cheap ones will last awhile but you need to anchor the legs and then anchor the 4 corners at the top.

Even a light gust can blow them around and if you only anchor the legs the whole frame twists and breaks the plastic pivots on the frame.

 

Whoa! We are teetering into PHM Beast Mode.

Lets not talk about commies, fake news ‘boogie man theories’, or politics here. We might get banned.

 

Religion & Politics are the no-no in America. Funny thing is both have been a stain on history

 

Nobody stop him. Do your thing, sexy voice over guy.

See yall in 30 days. Even though I agree.

 

Btw, they aren't messing around when it comes to politics.

 

30 day hiatus well I'm on day 96 of furlough and self quarantine. 2 previous lung surgeries make me high risk for Coronavirus

 

That no bueno (see what I did there). Stay your ass inside!

 

Si senor.
Me and my 4 walls have an intimate relationship now lol.

 

You may be right in some cases, but you also may be running into a trap based from your educational standpoint you described above in your own words. Your color has nothing to do with anything so stop bringing it up. Having been, a few times, to one of those Islands you refer to in your other post I can share some personal stories. One of my friends/neighbors family fled the other Island you refer when he was little. Please do not let your skin color hold you back or allow it to have a negative effect on America as its being reported these days.

People are all stirred up right now. Focus on your truck.

 

1 of my favorite personal stories.
Working for AT&T some years ago, had a call to assist another tech because customer could not understand him due to his accent. Arrive at location and it was straight out of movie. Trailer home in the sticks, lifted F250 with smoke stack and confederate flag flying high.
2 hours later. Me and the redneck with his wife were sitting at dining room table having lunch together, laughing and telling stories. That was memorable

My color never stops me, I have enjoyed traveling America and meeting some great people. I am looking forward to hitting the road again some day

 

1 thing before my ban. Sorry Tundra2 for dragging you into this matter

 

I now suddenly have the extreme urge not to fuck with you in any way, shape, or form! Hahaha. +1 for guns

 

Talking politics is a big fat NO-NO lol

 

Love it haha

 

The only politics that shall be discussed is, why 1st gens are the best gen

 

I miss my 01 Tundra but I am enjoying working on the 1.5

 

I was window shopping online and man are there really good vehicles for sale right now and pricing is starting to look good

 

Jesus christ your right. I just checked fb market place and there is a clean 2006 tundra 4dr for sale. Making me kinda wish i didnt have mine right now and just buy that one smh

 

Me & the misses have been thinking about converting 1 of these into a small rv. Drive across the country and hit some of the great parks we have

 

Well there's the problem right there. Tough to get around that.

 

Sounds about right

 

The smaller the better IMO. Driving my 21' is so much less tiring at the end of the day than my 27' was. Add an awning so you can have '2 rooms' for when you need some elbow room from each other & small works well. Easier parking, cheaper to run, faster to clean, ....
