1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I'm really not looking forward to sleeping through y'alls daily activities again.

I was really starting to feel like a member of the forum instead of an outsider because of my shift.

Before I go "away" for a while while I get used to the shift again. I wanted to say...

Thank you!​

Thanks for all the advice about my mental health first, life second, and truck 3rd. Its truly been a light in my kinda dull, isolated life.

 

I’d love to live in the country again like you and maybe some day I will, but my Hands are so Really Good Looking they keep me busy in the City. Stoked on your truck improvements they look awesome. Now get back to work!

 

Country living is worth it, if you have friends. Humans are social creatures.

 

Yes they are. In the country, I’ll be living as one with all my little wild animal friends building carbon credits for Wurrld Peas. Looking forward to going buck in the summer months.

 

Some turd genner had a bad day....

 

I felt it for the first week. The main noticeable symptoms for me was loss of smell. And the only time i feel bad is at night time after eating. Not as bad as the flu at all. My dad got it pretty bad though but hes fine

 

Anybody try this?

 

No but that's neat. The camera quality better be really good for that price though. A backup camera is one of the best mods I've done to my truck.

 

These are the pictures I can get away with showing.

Dry ice comes in totes. 2 feet wide, 4 feet long, 2 feet deep.

The pelletized ice looks like this.

It tingles if it touches your bare skin. After having my ospho blunder. It doesn't really tingle like I remember it tingling.

Ice goes in the hopper on the dry ice machine. Plug into 110 outlet, and hook up the 1 inch airline at 100 psi, squeeze the trigger and it comes out here...

 

Pretty cool shit!

 

Thats a nicely designed Gate Handle with Camera. Still trying to figure out the need for a camera for our little trucks. I can back in/up to a trailer hitch and be within 1/2” most times. Same with walls and car bumpers. Must be Golden Hands touch.

 

Might be for people who don't regularly tow?

 

It might. Or, could be skills acquired in another Profession?

 

Now now you old prude 1st Gen owners. We have been reminded to be a bit more inclusive. Wifey needs a camera.

 

This is sexist! Are you insinuating women need back up cameras? Rude prude! And you are old, too.

 

Yes that does sound sexist. Me old and rude? Guilty on that side of coin also. Wifey asked me for a camera and I'm doing research

 

You don't have a camper shell that obscures your view.

 

I've been looking at the recording part of this equation. They sell a rear view mirror that has a front facing camera and DVR function. My truck has been scraped a few times already and break ins are starting to become common

 

too expensive but a cool paint job

 

Hey, watch where you point that!

 

Dunno what's 'really good' but found the spec's

You had me, and then lost me. Even though the guy my mom married has a nice 2nd gen CM I wouldn't mind having and my dad has a nice turd gen DC. But no truck payment is best for me.

 

This thing will take the blue out of blue jeans... permanently.

 

From my experience, the most important part of the spec sheet is the image sensor/chip. The other specs can be milked.

 

i like that it has a connector for the tailgate side.... i may have to do this eventually.

 

I like the oem look but decided $160 is a bit of stretch. My present tailgate handle that was provided by @FirstGenVol is smooth as butter, smooth like a babies bottom, smooth as a stripper squeezing another $20.

 

eh. im weird. id pay that much just to have it not have part of the tailgate handle in my picture like my current setup. that and to remove my tailgate right now is a pain in the ass because of the wiring. With this setup i could cut and shorten the wire and add it to a proper loom

 

Well I'll be looking forward to seeing how it works out for you
