1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Yeah, and black is sexy. I could see black dash with moon mist trim being OK. The big issue with black was no single stage bag but I guess I’m more scared of that than Dan.

the blue grey is strange. It was fun at first but black just seems more normal.


can’t see it too well there.

 

Technically I have a spare one.


BUT that is a nightmare to ship

 

Snowboarding and skating are so different, which I didn't think would be the case until learning to board. Not easy to get it down, but once you do, soo much better than skis (yes I've skied)

Not sure about the body lines mating well or not, but either way, you'll have to do some fabbing/custom bracketry to bolt it onto your truck. And I'm sure you know better than to weld the bumper to your frame. okay good.
I like how it specifically says not to use it on any other vehicle and it didn't slow you down, not one single fucking bit. Attaboy

 

got my tires mounted on the mr2 wheels that came in...

 

I know some of y'all have a Facepage account. If you're feeling generous throw a free vote up for my buddy Aaron and his cat Pepper.

He got injured at work a little bit ago and will be down for another 6 months for PT so some prize money would help him out.

Dave, believe it or not the moon mist color was incredibly popular with a thunder grey or silver metallic in my area back in 2002 when they were being sold. Believe it or not, I had a difficult time trying to find silver metallic with grey interior. My guess since I’m here in rust central is a lot of those moon mist trucks hit the salvage yards about 8-10 years ago. Might be worth a search in my area if those trucks are still around. I don’t know how long they keep them before they get crushed.

 

The yards around here, well pick and pull yards typically will keep something for a month or two, and then change inventory.

 

I have a yard a few miles away from me where I’ve seen the same Tundras on the lot over a few years getting slowly stripped although the yard does move them regularly to make room for more.

 

Spotted this RCLB V6.

Why are they almost always so fucked?

 

Work Dawgs

 

That there makes sense

 

I'm amazed how many <5 year old trucks i see that are beat up and running burnt out lights or have a door panel or bedside caved in.

i know these people are still paying on 'em.

 

Because they're in high demand by any cheap DBA (doing business as) contractor.

At least in my area; I mean who wouldn't want a reliable $5-7k truck to haul crap around in for their business?

 

There’s two different landscaping companies near my work that most of their fleet are first gen access cabs, another construction company in town has the same

 

There is a nice work trim FGT like mine but 2wd in town. I run past it most days when I run to USPS. It’s pretty clean, paint is nicer than mine. I give it a silent fist bump as I pass.

 

The rain just turned to snow. We'll see if it continues or gets cold enough to stick.

 

I woke up to 3 inches of powder. Too bad I had run out in the sleet to clean it off before it froze on the truck. Nothing worst than trying to clean several inches of snow caked in ice on your truck.

 

I think it comes down to the person. Growing up my neighbor built houses and his Ford work truck was MINT because he was an anal SOB. That was the early 2000's. I was back in my hometown a few years ago and saw him in that same truck. It still looked amazing.

I think the "work truck" explanation is just an excuse for guys that would be at the shit out of their vehicle regardless.

 

It begs the question, would you want someone who treats their vehicle like crap to work on your vehicle, home, or anything?

It's like when meeting a prospective tenant, the first thing you do is look inside their car.

 

Meanwhile I had to turn on our air. It was 79 yesterday.

 

You turn your A/C on when it hits 79? Wack.

 

I’m thinking next year when I leave my job, sell my house and get a new place I might buy a micro-pig as a pet considering my allergy to dogs/cats. I’m curious if anyone has ever owned one as a pet or knew of someone that did?

I don’t want to hear about “hypoallergenic” dogs with hair instead of fur like the poodle my older sister had. The thing would always track something inside her house that would cause me to sneeze. At least with a small pig, I would think I could keep it penned up outside or in the house.

 

Mmmmm, bacon!

 

I was considering “Bacon”, “Pork Chop” or “Mr./Ms. Spam” as a name.

 

Chris. P. Bacon

 

The dudes that built my fence were using their bosses king ranch superduty, they rolled down the back door windows, set the truck bed toolbox in the back seat and mixed concrete in the bed. Truck was only a year or 2 old, and they said they hadnt gotten paychecks for over a month. I was slack jawed gawking as they drove to each fencepost and shoveled the concrete in from the bed. Truck had a 6-8" lift and polished 'too wide' 22's.

 

That "boss" deserved it.

 

We’re have a staff “appreciation” breakfast coming up.
Last time I’m pretty sure it was a vegan meatless menu, the eggs tasted fake, so did the potatoes. This year they’re having chicken sausage and turkey bacon. I’ve already decided I’m bringing my own breakfast this year!

 

No such thing as a hypoallergenic dog, because it's not the fur/hair that causes the problem. It's the dander, and they all have it. There are some less prone that lighter allergies will tolerate better, but it's a common misconception about the coat being the cause. If your allergy is strong enough, even a poodle will aggravate it.

As for pigs, I hear good things as pets, but I could never do it. Can't stand the sounds they make.
