1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Or @BubbaW?

Last activity was May something.

 

I thought he got the el banno?

 

Negative.

 

am i thinking of @Bubbles ?

 

He wasn't banned either, he just sold his Tundra so he's dead to us. I'm not sure who you're thinking of.

 

dammit....you're making me look like an idiot!

Errr maybe I did that myself......

NOTHING TO SEE HERE PEOPLE....CARRY ON!

 

Selling a Gen 1 should be a crime. I have high hopes for the Gen 4 (if it ever comes) but I’ll never part with my 1st Gen.

 

Speculating here, but I think you think, your thinking of wumbo who went on a multi thread rant of epic proportions stating his discuss for vendors slamming non 1stie products down our throats every chance they get.

 

THAT'S IT!
see...I knew you would figure it out!
thank you.
I 'thanked' your post 6 times FYI but I doubt it will show.

 

NAPA has them. Two sizes. One size for front and one size for the rears. Remind them you upgraded to the WL13 on the fronts as they have a different size bleeder.

 

C'mon youngun, you know us old people don't know how to use technology!

Nah, I want a physical copy so I can use it and work easily. It's a pain as is opening the tablet to take pictures with greasy hands. Chilton's only gets you so far though...

 

I was thinking more along the lines of bleeding the brakes by myself. Unless we're talking about the same thing?

 

I almost have all 2408 pages of the FSM memorized.

 

I assume you 'hired hands' to flip the pages for you??

 

These are one man bleeders I am discussing, as well. I’ll post up a pic of them. Make sure you confirm with NAPA the proper sizing because the WE13 and WL13 have different part numbers. I use a plastic bottle with a hole punched in the top and slip it on the bleeder with the wrench already on first. Turn the nut about a quarterish turn which releases the internal valve, but does not let air enter. Its a one way valve.

Go and do a few pumps (5-10) on the pedal and come back to make sure things are good. Repeat. Clear bottle helps see if the gookies go bye-byes.

 

I just posted some pics from my physical copies I made, In the oil seal section, it’s kinda fun to search by hand, get cut, find new thing you didn’t know only because you were wrong section, lots of exploded diagrams W legible torque values. I mainly lerk from a small phone so it’s hard for me to do things others do with ease. We have a tv w an apple device hooked up, but I can’t be using that all the time to be ok here, it’s a hassle. I printed what I thought I’d need the most, I printed a lot, I thought I was going to be “talked to” haha but nothing ever came from it.

 

Do a sacrificial flush with cheap DOT3 and then follow up with the Supremõ.

 

I helped my neighbor who has a decent replica of “tow mater” bleed his breaks, it didn’t work out, I was only the pumper, he’s going to replace the master and we will try again, I’ll make sure I take pics

 

Confirm the bleeder with the store before you buy because that one pictured set I posted was prior to me deciding to upgrade to WL13. I posted the pic so everyone can see how they look.

 

The bleeders are high dolla at about $20 per set IIRC.

 

I think I saw him on TS

By the way I have a new one

 

I think I will clarify my island guys Corolla story. It does sound kinda bad.
The reason they loved the Corolla and it was an easy sale? A vast majority of them are not pretentious, they just want reliable transportation. That simple. They know Corollas reputation and they love them in the islands. Then I show them Florida Lemon Law. Once they read and understand that, I explain to them they won't be driving it home today. It's going into the shop, mechanic has to make sure it's road worthy and safe. The dealership is greedy so if I have a signed contract for $4-6k on that car, they won't say no. And they do really end up fixing a lot of shit. Those island guys don't care about 250k miles on a Corolla.

 

They have the best rear view mirrors in the Wurrld in the Islands. Can’t miss a thing with those mirrors.

 

The more I think about my old one the more I miss it.

 

I was eyeing one recently. Pop the glass out and install lcd's

 

Nice. Maybe we’ll come up with a fog bar mod that projects frontward off of it. Having it mounted inside would make it DOT approved.

 

For the first time in 17 years the fucking garage has mice in it. Also the first time in 17 years I’ve had no cat!


Now to go check every fucking carand hope they haven’t ate anything

 

Now that my stitches and the stints are out, let's get back to the food.

@Hooptytrix

All this talk of Florida, reading Florida, Florida. Florida.. Florida...

Makes me want to go back to key west for more than 5 hours (carnival cruise excursion late May of 2019.)
