1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

All the green spares....

 

Rare occasion when all three of my trucks were in the driveway at the same time since my son was home from college with the 1GT.

‘22 Tacoma TRD Pro

‘06 Tacoma TRD OffRoad PreRunner (original owner 186,000 miles)

‘00 Tundra TRD OffRoad 4x4 (original owner 150,000 miles)

 

Quick brain fart. whats the % difference between 2.94:1 vs 3.36:1?

the titan came with 2.94's and i measure milage with the odo, but for the last 10 years i've had 3.36:1...

42% doesnt sound right.

 

14.3ish %

 

I always use https://percentagecalculator.net/ for questions like this.

 

Speaking of…….

 

LASH THAT DIFF!

 

Yea, thats not near a full sweep.

 

It’s golden; I can send you the build sheet if you want

 

Ah. I thought you were setting the backlash. Damn. Well fine, I take my DEVO reference back.

 

Hahah I’m not doing any of it. I was just flexing the Elocker engagement photo. The rear diff is 100% done as of tonight

 

How many acres of land do you need to not hear your neighbors damned roosters?

 

The answer is shoot the rooster

 

Probably as many as needed to not hear their damned barking dogs....

 

i hear the rooster 1/4 mile away. But he's usually crowing around 2pm.

 

You need those 10’ x 10’ dense growth bushes to cut the sound down.

 

Collect junk in your yard, your neighbors will install the insulation for you.

 

Are they even necessary? Roosters. Chickens lay eggs without the rooster, so after you buy a couple chickens - what's the point of the damn things?

Had the guns talk with Dad over Christmas. He's going to look into selling them before he's dead. That would simplify things.
Maybe we could use them on the Roosters first.

 

1/4 acre lots. Rooster next door & the house beyond him. Damn thing going off 930pm, 3am, 6am, 330pm, basically all the time.
And damned if they don't take turns. They don't talk over each other & they don't talk to each other. They take freakin turns.

 

COCKADOODLE**BANG**

 

They are 100% useless. Roosters. Not guns.

We have the same problem in our neighborhood. I live at the edge of town and country so we have HOAs next to farms. It’s freakin annoying hearing those roosters.

 

But in all seriousness, I don’t typically kill any animal I won’t later eat, or won’t eat me if I don’t kill it. So I can’t recommend shooting that bird in good faith.

 

Well, I assume they'll eat it once they realize it was shot & not diseased.

 

I mean, the cleanest and most discrete method is a pellet gun. But some worthless fuck killed my cat that way when I was a kid and I’ve lost a couple other pets since to the hands of BB/pellet guns, so I’m not a fan of the idea, knowing some people see birds like that as pets.

What’s annoying noise to you may be comforting music to others. Sounds crazy, I know…

 

All joking aside the easiest and most realistic way to stop it is call the cops and get em for disturbin da peace.

 

Yep. Quarter acre lots are the city/suburbs, not Green Acres farm.

 

you can have caged chickens if you have an acre +. You can have free range chickens if you have 5 acres+. No Roosters, period.
I had the town come out have a convo with both of them. next door got rid of everything for awhile, but the chickens are back.
I hate the sound of chickens with all that nervous mumbling they do.
other neighbor got rid of his roosters. the quiet lasted about 6 months, 2 new roosters are stretching their lungs.
Im going to just have to be that guy & report them again. If they're going to keep me awake & not offer me eggs - no reason to be accommodating to their whimsy.

 

Has anyone had any luck getting custom screws/bolts machined? I am working on a tailgate assist Frankenstein project and I made something work for now but would like a better permanent solution. It’s literally one bolt with a ball stud, but the dimensions are super stubby and can’t find one anywhere.

 

We used to have 20 hens free ranging on our acre. We had a rooster briefly, but got rid of em before he figured out how to properly crow. He was hilarious when he tried to cock a doodle doo. I don't even know how to describe it. Poor guy didn't know what he was doing.
