1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

That's cool and all, but it doesn't make my funk the p-funk. I wants to get funked up.

 

Pipe hanger straps & wood screws. I like it.

Did they use milwaukee or dewalt?

 

Hot air intake from Sceptre.

​

 

$11.9k for V8/4WD southern (looks rust free where you can see) AC with less than 150k on it. @michael.crg maybe for you?

So i had the stainless hardware in for 8 months. The surgeon let me put weight back on my foot again after 3 months (which is when the cast came off). I still used crutches part time for about another month since it was still so painful. I kinda gave up on eating, since eating meant i had to go to the bathroom, which meant i had to get up and crutch my way to the bathroom, and all of that was painful. I ended up loosing about 20lbs just because i would lay down on my back with my foot elevated 23.5 hours a day. Now 20lbs doesn't seem like much, but i went from 6' 161 lbs 7.5% body fat, down to a 140 lbs and a scary sub 4%. So was literally withering away. A few months later i began to realize that my body was rejecting the hardware. Like my foot wasn't feeling better. Even at month 8, i was grimacing with ever single step i took. After the second surgery to remove the hardware, the foot began to heal up MUCH, MUCH faster!

It's taken a couple years at the gym (about 12 hours a week), and i'm almost back up to 160lbs again, plus my body fat is back up to my normal pre-smooshed foot. I can now run once again, and it isn't painful to do so. I'll tell you what, i've had PLENTY of injuries over the years from sk8ing, dirtbikes, and what not, so i'm quite familiar with how to deal with pain management, but this go around was off the charts for me. After talking to a few different people, i'm coming to the conclusion that my surgery might have been partially botched?...then again, my surgeon did tell me right after the surgery that it was MUCH more complicated that his team expected. He is exact quote was, "it looked like your foot exploded in there"...fair enough.

 

Description novels like that always turn me off. I wish I could find my buddies add from his Tacoma sale, it was legendary in the BS fiction isle!

 

I kid you not, I've been a bit skeptical the whole time if that happened or not.

Big oof. Just gonna stop whimpering everytime i have to put on a shirt. I'da had em cut the foot off & built a wheel. With a chainsaw engine.

 

You didn't dig on that "step into the world" eh?

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that song.

 

When I broke my collarbone on my bike and had to have a plate put in, they eventually mailed me the plate and the hardware once they took it out. Can't find it right now though.

 

Wow. They took it out? 90% of the time they like to leave it in since taking it out risks nerve damage from what I’ve been told after digging it out of the scar tissue surrounding it.

 

Yep, they took it out about a year after. The plate affected my range of motion and made it uncomfortable to ride. At the time, the Doc said with my age and activity level, it made sense to remove it, plus leaving it in could've led to a break in a worse spot.

 

@bmf4069 I found your next work vehicle.

​

 

Baja designs XL sport. Definitely not an easy swap and they’re not practical on road whatsoever.

 

Well I’m glad they took it all out and you’re now getting back to your normal self. I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone.

 

Locking in on the 00’ I was talking about before. Should be soon, gonna make an update post haven’t been posting much since I started work and it’s pretty much a lock

 

Mines the tow rig. More power nice for it. The 3uz also sheds some weight which helps. Realistically I’d be happy with 300-400 wheel. Because I’m sure the torque at that point would be plenty without destroying fuel economy

 

3uz with a 2uz crank would be 4.4l (266 CID)

 

I'm going for a bore and stroke out to 4996cc aka 5L turbo lol

 

They quit making the stroker cranks a while ago. Would be cool to find one though.

 

You can achieve the CC increase via a cylinder bore and semi or full hemispherical pistons. Is it a true stroker, no. Does it get the job done, yes. I'll have a sit down with the performance shop Monday behind my job, and see what they got to say.

 

I'm selling my projects. I don't drive crackie enough to warrant keeping these.

My loss is your gain, and you help a brother out

The camper shell is back up for grabs too FYI

 

That guy in Knoxville that's been looking STILL hasn't found one yet. Still posting up on CL looking.
