1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Man if I lived in CA and still had a 5vz I'd be all over this gen2 Magnuson supercharger this dudes selling on FB for $2k

I'd post a link but unless you're in the boosted 5vz FB group, the link won't work

 

Ooh these gas tank skids now come in steel, not just aluminum and you can have em powder coated for cheap. Tempting ...

Edit: no one else is excited about this? Well hell...

 

Don't have a FB account, won't let me see the post.

I'm playing Twister right now.

 

No worries…..

 

Ah, I guess 'you snooze you lose' applies here. My ass was sawin' logs when that post hit.

 

It didn't work when he posted it in the first place

 

Technically you're only going up a 1/2 inch. Diameter goes up an inch but from the center of the wheel to the ground it would only be a 1/2".

5.2/5.9 were both decent engines. Intake plenum gaskets were a problem on both that made them suck down oil pretty quick, the coolant bypass hoses were only an issue if you never changed them but they can be a bitch to do. Had a 92 3.9 Dakota, 99 and a 93 5.2 Dakota, and a 5.9 Ram all were decent trucks but with random issues.

I did really like the 93

 

It's funny, I love square body trucks, GM's GMT400 platform was super appealing to me. But that thing looks like someone upsized an S10 out back then threw an F150 front end on it.

 

If you all don't have a dash cam yet, I'd recommend getting one.

This was my drive home yesterday.

I've got one of the Garmin minis. Love it. Took me forever to decide on one, which was stupid, anything could've happened in the 18 months it took me to finally decide...

WTF was the guy actually doing, having a heart attack? Did he at least correct when you looked in the rearview?

 

It was intentional. No clue why. There was an SUV behind me but in the slow lane. He did a slalom move between me and that SUV.

 

Mine is ok but I regret not getting a dash cam that can connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Getting the video from my Viofo is a lot of work.

 

What a dick. Was it a Dodge/RAM? Might've been @BTBAKER looking for some IRL troll action. (I can't tell, but it looks like a Sierra)

The Garmin mini's app is pretty solid. It's not the fastest to pull data, but it's quick to review, easy tools so slice out the crap you don't need, and if you prefer you can just eject the miniSD card, slap it into an adapter, and throw it in a laptop to find the full-length video file.

 

Definitely a Sierra

 

It was a GMC. Here's the thing, if it wasn't intentional, all he had to do was lock up the brakes and commit to a lane. We were going slow enough to stop. He never even attempted that.

 

Next time, pull your gat

 

The camera rearview mirror thing i got is too heavy for my mirror, so i need to find an arm to hold it to the tombstone, instead of rubberbanding it to my stock mirror.

 

Had a friend with a 93 Dakota reg cab in red with the v8. Ended up getting the entire engine rebuilt under their 7 year power train warranty due to warped pistons at year 6, however he always pushed the truck from the get-go nearly peeling out everywhere he went.

I might get that shaft hammered harder into the chuck, add some water & break some wrists.

dont think it'll turn the sifted stuff.

What in the hell am I getting pulled into?
I had two Garmin Minis. They were solid. Put one in my wife’s Highlander and one in my work truck. I picked up a three channel that has a dedicated channel and camera for the rear. So far, so good.

 

I've been thinking a lot about sticking a camera in my rear lately. I couldn't find anything that looked like a good fit.

 

Kinky

 

That might hurt, can we do straight first?

 

Doc said I won't feel a thing.

 

Run another Mini. That was my original setup.

 

My daughter put a new decoration up in the house. I approve.

 

Andre the giant?

 

The parts pile grows!

Pulled the trigger on the snowflakes, not upset about it at $40 a corner.

Decided that the shop door is on its last leg, and it's a good excuse to go with a 10' door. Should make some work related tasks easier too

Still probably 8-10 days out from actually working on this thing, but I'm looking forward to it.

 

Nice score and good looking pup
