1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

That $108 fillup was at my bro in law’s Arco on fumes. A very non strategic one as far as value goes. A ways out of town. I was on the clock, drove to his place and hauled locally then hauled south the next day and returned yesterday and helped him retrieve the third rig today. Lots of highway the last two tanks.

 

Quoi?

 

Good deal on anyone looking to do a mild upsize on their tires north of ATL:

 

Same results can be achieved for pennies on the dollar with a hose clamp. One of the oldest truck forum tricks in the book.

Can you use the Atlas 40V batteries on it? Cuz I have the 40V pole saw and its awesome but if it would work with this it would be gravy. Thanks.

Cooler than the alternatives in my opinion. He developed the FGT version off my truck and I think @artsr2002

 

I see DeeZee makes one, looks like McGard has one too, worm drive with upgrades, I always liked their wheel locks bitd.

I'd buy something like that if it works for the 1st Gen. Looks like a much more elegant OEM+ solution.

 

Have one of those on me Ferd. I have a second I should throw on the Tundy. Thanks for the reminder.

 

Take the train to Winchester nearby and see the cathedral. Go a bit further to Southampton and the Titanic museum. From there Salisbury to view the Magna Carta and then Stonehenge.

Sexy AF

 

FGT is a different version of the same thing. He just doesn’t have a Tundras account but if you DM him on TW he can make you an 056 FGT anti tweaker device (his phrasing).

 

Damn

 

Tailgate open, Rachet straps.

 

Wait…people steal tailgates now? Thanks to you and @shifty` for one more thing to worry about.

 

I don't think I have a hose clamp on the 03 tailgate. I know the 06 has one.
Not that I'd care too much if someone stole my tailgate, aside from losing my backup camera tailgate handle.

Might actually be a tough look, a lowered black 1GT with a bed cover and no tailgate.

 

No TW acct here. I’ve thought about it but I’d never use it.

Knowing my luck I’d hit a bump at just the right spot to angle the gate up, and itlll go flying off. It’s never happened on any truck I’ve owned, but the tailgate on these trucks seems pretty light to me.

 

That’s waaay less that what i paid to do rally cross for the day...in a lincoln brougham stretch limo. Despite the wheelbase, my times very competitive in the rear wheel drive production class.

 

You should feel the second gen taco tailgates.

 

What's TW, Tundra World or something

Sounds scandalous

 

Ah, nice

 

I was thinking the same thing, an inside joke……

 

Nice.

 

Can I feel your tailgate, Frenchy?

 

Only when it’s down….
