1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Nah, Florida is lame...Caribbean is where it’s at

 

sounds like you need to fix your cat problem. I keep thinking about you and your most recent cat, I need to get mine to the vet or some allergy medication before it turns into something else

 

St. Barts!

 

Can you show us any scooters that you rip/maintain?
I’ve heard SB is a pretty awesome place!

 

Although my mechanic said its a normal "harmonic front end noise" and that its normal, it still bothers me. It happens at 30mph and especially at 45-50 under heavy throttle but not enough throttle to downshift. Its right after the tq converter locks up so its low rpms high engine load and torque. Its a wubwubwub noise and i can feel it too. Im not worrying too much about it but wanted your guys opinion. Heres a video link for it, please listen with headphones on, or else u wont hear it. Thanks. https://youtu.be/_YY4Qb75oNI

 

Lol another harbor freight recall for the replacement jack stands, incase anyone just bought some.

 

Can't dim them for night driving.

 

Yea it sucks. But the dogs up there in age, blind and deaf. She doesn’t do well around other animals anymore. So until she’s gone, no other pets. Unless an older cat comes around that isn’t so hyper around her

 

Hopefully something works out for you, @Rex Kramer send dan some stray juju to brighten his life and destroy the vermin problem!
Ringo has been acting real sluggish lately, and usually if I sleep on the couch; I can’t get the blankets on fast enough before he’s in my loins; now he won’t even come over the younger cat Dali is the submissive one, so I know she’s not messing with him. He hacks a lot, which got me scared when I heard about your companion, and it’s fluid filled lungs. I’m going to try some allergy medication and if he doesn’t start being a turkey again, I’ve found a place I’ll take him for a check up.

 

How old is the little guy? Mine was almost 15. My other cat I had as a kid also was around 15-16 when he passed. But that car was originally a stray with
FIV.
Hope you’re buddy’s alright

 

Mines maybe 12-13. He’s had lots of watery eyes and kinda boogers/snot on his nose, so I’m hoping it’s allergy related, he’s still a pain in the ass for milk in the morning and food 24/7, so I know for the most part he’s functioning well. He’s a turd; he knows when I push down on the French press, that I have to then pour it, then get creamer; he doesn’t come into the kitchen until I press it, then starts the sob story meowing like he’s never eatin!

 

@Tundra2 Stay out of Florida, we are in the midst of a spike in covid cases. And if that isn't enough to keep you away, remember there is a website dedicated to the wackos "Floridaman.com" it is entertaining.

This truck could use a good cleaning up but not bad for the $$

 

For 4 years I've been waiting for the right time, traffic, weather, and thumb speed to get this shot. Today was the day.

 

Beautiful. I would take that over what we get here in heavily populated places like.....

Those two pictures you quoted are on the home road.

 

Don't forget to tighten that upper bracket. I had to loosen it to fit it in the box.

 

Anyone have recommendations on a set of good quality aftermarket outer tie rod ends?

 

Nice bro. Appreciate your time there, you are still young and life will take you to different places and with different people. Enjoy

 

I thought the founders response was one of the most honest I've ever seen a company release. Some guy on another forum had his HF jack stands collapse while he was under the truck but he had his wheels there as a backup and wasn't hurt.

 

@FrenchToasty

Can’t tell if those are All-Terrain tires, but they look to be doing nicely in the sand.

 

No need to in the islands. You just squint your eyes, mon. No worries.

 

I'm guessing you have bears also

 

Not here, but they have been spotted 7 or 8 miles west / north west of my location.

 

I do the same. A backup plan while working under a vehicle isn't a bad thing.

 

Yeah, I need to get better about this. I typically leave the jack in place as a backup in case the stands fail. I didn't realize that the rating on many jack stands is for both being used at the same time. Rookie move on my part. I think there was one time where I could only use 1 stand and the jack. Certainly won't do that again. I need some bigger jack stands too.

 

I think we all take things for granted. I've definitely been unsafe in some of my work and need to be smarter. I usually tuck the tires under the vehicles when it's up in the air but I didn't do that on my last escapade. This recall followed by another recall on the replacement part is a reminder
