1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I hate going to Lowes/Home depot. No offense to anyone here, but it's filled with idiots who block aisles because they have no idea what they're doing, but watched a YouTube on how to do it. I refuse to go there on Saturday or Sunday.

 

It's missing its door ding trim. Also, you don't see many RCLB in any other color than work truck white. But yeah, some jackass put "max" on there and thinks it's a thing. Retard.

 

@bmf4069 - amen brother. Used to be at HD and Lowes they had these old guys that knew plumbing, wiring and hardware from years of experience. They also rekeyed locks. Now I go there and they have these girls hired by the DEI officer who couldn’t tell you the difference between a bolt and a screw.

 

Another great Gauley Run in the books. We didn’t get our same guide as last yr. Guide request are handled on a first booked when multiple people request the same guide. We ended up with a dude named “Sketchy Steve”. 27 yrs and counting for this dude. Finessed the hell out 7 man raft when it counted but knew he had a boat he could have fun with, we ran all big hits through the big stuff. Majority of the boat dumped at bottom of “Lost Paddle “(class V), in a rapid called “Tumble on home” Complete yard sale on “Fluffy Box of Kittens” and again on “Julia’s Juicer”. He did admit to meaning to dump us there but missed the chicken strap on his way out and dumped too .

* unfortunately yesterday the Gauley did claim one. The only details available are that it was at “Shipwreck rock” which is a super nasty undercut rock that’s in the middle of the river. American whitewater has a initial report from kayakers that we’re there shortly after it happened but nothing official yet. Man I hate it for that person, their family, that trip, that guide, and company as a whole. The Gauley is a super amazing place but it has teeth and can be a killer

 

He looks at least 40 in that picture.

 

27 years guiding on the Gauley that does a read a little funny now that you mention. It. As he put it, he’s got some miles on him

 

My former next door neighbor died on a Gauley run in Oct 2022. Level was reported to be 12000 cfs. Be careful and stay safe

 

Oh man he was on a high water run. I was asking yesterday about what level they close it commercial. 3500 cfs is the cut. We were a little over 2800 cfs yesterday.

they use to run it commercial all the way up to 7500 cfs. I could imagine 12 grand on that river

 

does that river go to aintry?

 

Aintry?

I’m tracking with ya that didn’t click at all to start with. ​

 

As in baby seal leather seats with ivory dash inlays?

 

50k miles RCLB, V6/Auto/RWD. Not worth the ask, even at that mileage ... who the hell was looking for one recently, person from out in Cali?:

​

 

This is laughable. 2wd V6 RCLB for $13k? Someone’s been smoking that ish

 

I guess it's just RCLB season over in my corner of the world...

​

 

Been watching a number of 9-11 shows today, some things leave my memory but that was a day I'll never forget.
Scopes that would have 1000's of dots, within hours were gone and all We could see in Tracon were dots of a few fighter jets

 

Besides watching live at work on CNN the plane crashing into the 2nd tower and making the statement “that’s an act of war” in front of my co-workers and freaking out the newbies, I still remember the 1st Gulf War when my roommate was convinced he was going to get drafted and gave up school for the semester.

I only found out (being in my little college bubble oblivious to the world around me) when i saw 6” print on the Boston Herald saying we were at war.

 

Don’t mind me, I’m just out here makin bad decisions


Why am I not towing with the Cummins you might ask? Well the dodge is doin dodge things and in the shop getting a throw out bearing replaced.

 

You've got my support!

 

Nice score!!

 

You mean you don’t keep a 2nd tranny on hand in your garage as a contingency? Unprepared!

 

Will we get to hear about the deal you made in that? (It was all I could do to stay out of it, avoid a bidding war.)

 

@shifty` my wife already hates it and hasn’t even seen it yet my 3 yr old on the other hand has been telling people he’s getting a Sammie

@KNABORES thank ya I won’t feel bad about this one going to windrock. She’s got some battle wounds already

@Jack McCarthy I traded my 68rfe (auto) Cummins before it could give me any trouble. I even put a dual disc south bend in this g-56 (manual) truck but such is life for a truck that goes heavy. I was prepared and had the tundra in the wings ready to go though

@Sunnier this was actually a marketplace find. @KNABORES still has his. His is to nice for windrock as it sets and really will be once it’s finished.

 

Can't wait to read more. Keep us posted!

 

Do they match? Hard to tell from the pics. But looks like they might

 

Anyone seen or used these little bastards? Never heard of this company before, hence the ask... https://exitoffroad.com/product/performance-rear-brake-line-for-tundra-99-06-red/

I admit, I'm vain, I like the color, it matches my front suspension. I just worry about the longevity, the ends look chrome, brake fluid and chrome usually don't mix.

​

 

Oh, and on that note, I have noticed my brakes are softer after installing my AAL out back.

I guess I'll be making an LSPV relocation bracket at some point this week.

 

I have what looks to be the same brake line but I got mine from your favorite place, Wheelers.

Can you try adjusting it first? You shouldn't need to relocate it.

 

I’m not sure I can adjust it honestly. Requires a scale or some other crazy shit, I flipped thru the FSM and quickly decided it would take me longer to figure out how to adjust it than it would to simple make a bracket with two pairs of holes ~1.75” center to center and bolt it in. Most of the bracket kits are less than $20 but I have plenty of scrap steel that’ll work fine.

Look at the LSPV relocation kits online for this purpose, you’ll see what I mean.
