1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Iirc AG and my Alcans were $1100-$1200

 

For those ATS HD springs I linked, I'm looking at under $600 shipped to do both sides. And it looks like they ship to my area with 1 day transit time. Hindsight is 20/20

 

Archive gets theirs from deaver

 

10 leaf sua deavers.

 

The day you wanna be my sugar daddy w/o benefits and pay for those, I'm receptive.

 

Just tell your wife it'll make your truck ride like a cadillac. Just dont think you can haul anything.

i've got a set of '06 AC leafs w/AAl & a set of '06 DC leafs w/AAL & compared em after t2s. Was surprised to find more metal on the AC leafs. Same unloaded height, and each set had 1 leafpack that was about 1/2" lower.

 

Wow that's impressive. But do they provide any lift?

tl;dr, nobody is complaining, DC folks are saying minimum 1.5" and average seems to be around 1.75".

 

1,000-year-old fossils of 'alien' corpses displayed in Mexico's Congress

The fossilised bodies, presented by journalist and UFO scientist Jaime Maussan and displayed in glass cases, were retrieved from Cusco in Peru and are said to be 1,000 years old.

"These specimens are not part of the evolution of our world. They were not recovered from a UFO scrap. They were found fossilised in a diatom moss mine," Maussan said, testifying under oath.

Maussen said the samples were analysed by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and the scientists who managed to get DNA samples applied radiocarbon testing to determine their age.

However, despite the intensive examination, the fossils were found to be covered with a layer of sand.

"We are not alone in the vast universe, we need to accept this reality," said Maussan, who argued that the public has the right to learn about non-human beings and technologies.

Maussen was accompanied at the session by former US pilot Ryan Graves and Avi Loeb, professor of astrophysics at Harvard University. Graves also presented evidence at a hearing in the US Congress in July.

It is now generally accepted in scientific and political circles that there are unusual phenomena that cannot be identified, but there are still deep disagreements about their origin.

Maussen gave testimony under oath but his claims have not been proven and has been associated with claimed discoveries that have since been debunked.

 

You should watch the movie “Fire in the Sky”. Some pretty cool alien probing and dissecting scenes on a human in the movie you might like. It’s fictional, but still kind of cool.

 

I've seen it. It is good. Iirc it's based on true events. Like the lumberjack really went missing for 2 years and resurfaced with no memory. I think that's the one anyways. I believe his friends reported the UFO abduction.
I could be thinking of the wrong UFO case/movie

 

I just installed the HD from ATS. Happy with the ride feel. Got about a couple inches lift, but I had two leafs on one side and one on the other broken so not sure about lift...

 

I'm pretty sure it's a French drain. All the brick was up on that footing, and the clay was under it and tied together with mesh.

Were suppoded to be putting cable tray on the left side, but they want it as high as possible. Also, thats supposed to be 100% demo.

I hate smurf tube. All that is filled with fiber, so we can't demo it.

 

Both should be communications. Orange should be fiber, blue should be copper.

Love it or hate it, it does the job and goes where rigid pipe won't go.

 

Yeeeaaaaahhh, there's just one problem, some folks have a short-term memory.

This is one of my favorites I saw when that thing blew back up again:

​

 

I saw one also, where a person upped the contrast on the arm and leg bones, and the long bones in the arm and leg are a direct match to each other, just rotated. They didn't even bother to adjust the length to make it more believable, it's a direct copy-paste.

 

Yeah, the blue has orange fiber in it too. This place is a cluster fuck of the highest degree.

I think that's what they were referring to when they said that guys been associated with somerhing that was already debunked.
Either way it's pretty interesting.

Was that the tiny alien mummy that was like a foot tall or something?
I remember a tiny alien body being discovered but I don't recall much else

 

Yeah, I think it's all the Nazca/Nasca bullshit. I swear the same ones came up in 2012, 2017, 2021, and now have come back again.

 

2017 sounds about right for the one I'm thinking of

 

You going to buy it?

 

Nah, just thought it was a cool find.

 

Imagine all the 15s you could install in that thing.

 

You're already giving up on the Add a leaf?

 

@tpope What kind of load to you have on the truck? Shell? Toolbox? Etc?

 

Nothing really.. 25 lbs of tools such as a few splitting wedges, maul, chain n such. The truck would ride better with a couple hundred lbs weight.

 

I may be giving up on the AAL and the wheels.

AAL will probably go first. Springs in lieu of those. Hindsight 20/20. Not gonna say "you were right", but there was clearly a better option, and I don't think AAL was the right choice for me. It was better than blocks, but I was under the false impression that I was in for at least $750-1,200 for new leafs.

Wheels ... I'm back to keeping an eye out for SCS Ray10 in brushed copper, or Method 315 in gold. I don't think my opinion is going to change on this. Current wheels are too dark. If you're interested in mine, I've got 5, one for full size spare, still new in the box. I'd like to see $220/wheel, but I'd take $200/ea if I don't hafta drive more than an hour to drop them off.

 

Somehow I knew those wheels weren’t gonna be it. All the ones you posted that you really liked, these felt like a compromise. They look great, just not that bronze with the darker beadlock you originally wanted.
