1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Just get a Casita or Scamp. Tiny sleeping pod on wheels built for the Lilliputians.

 

That's my kinda trailer for sure.

 

That's basically where my parents are at this point. Their camper is now quite as large a yours but has all the ameneities. They use their 2 or 2.5 gen to pull it all over the place. No pop-out sections but I think sleeps 6. They're looking to get rid of it and buy an integrated vehicle (small RV). They're thinking that's more reasonable for them, Dad's getting old, and doesn't need or want the extra effort involved with towing. It's also too big for their needs. They already know what they want on an RV, and are listing or trading in their trailer to get it.

 

If VW can survive "diesel gate" Toyota the most selling company in the world, will survive this

Dieselgate is how we ended up in a brand new TDI at 0% interest.

 

Was it a "re-de- tuned" my 12 Wagen was an untouched and I would see 46 47 highway. My buddy had red 13 Wagen factory fixed because EOD his wife and it dropped him down to 39 40 highway

 

Yeah post fix. I hardly drove it, but my wife averages around 50 highway and 40 city. We’ve seen 60+ every now and then. We sold it, but it was good to us.

 

Oh you got a sedan or golf standard size/ trans platform.

 

Yeah facelifted mk6 Jetta. We wanted the sportwagen, but some guy paid over msrp for it and I wasnt going into a bidding war for it

 

You should use some Kc cyclones for signal, brake, and reverse lights. They’re super bright too.

Hot damn! We may have recourse over scAmazon and its counterfeit problem after all. Finally, let this be the motivation. Classic example how why “regulation” isn’t a bad word, when it protects consumers: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/30/cps...for-faulty-goods-sold-on-its-marketplace.html

 

As much as hot-boy led's are tempting Im ultimately going to pickup a pair of new oem Tail lights. They will live in the ends of the upper boxes, almost in the stock location. I should probably think about where to put a couple backup lights, and a camera.

The temporary tail lights will have to be moved tomorrow. Im going to stick them back on somewhere equally silly.

 

Might as well flip the left and right while you’re at it silly goose haha. That wolf box rear view camera is great. Only thing I’ve noticed is if you mount the physical camera too low the water kicking up in the rain makes it damn near useless. Same with dust. I’d go cab height or higher cause you can adjust the angle on screen and when you mount it.

Also, might be a good time to add provisions for rock lights or scene lighting at camp.

 

A couple of quick questions for the lunch, now supper (don't call me late for dinner) time crowd.

1) If I upload, say an incomplete table in PDF format, into a thread or post, can I then later remove and replace it in the original post with the edited version at a later date? Or would the latest version have to be inserted in a later post with the original still standing?

2) Is there a photo size limit for uploads and does the site tap out of too large. My phone is cranking out 2MB pics and I'm trying to figure out how and if I need to downsize them in order to participate in these discussions.

 

You can edit your own posts. Pictures taken on your phone can be uploaded here no problem.

 

Adding to that ^^ with a few more details

1) The cap on PDF is 30 MB. If you use Upload a File button, you can upload a PDF no problem. Later, if you wanted to update it, go back to the post, click 'Edit', then click .More Options'. You should see your PDF just below the txt box, with a link to 'delete' waaaaay to the right of each filename you uploaded. Delete it with that link - once it's done, that's it, it's gone, whether you save or not - then use the Upload a File button to attach the new one, and save.

2) Cap is 30 MB here also, most of what I upload is 5MB-8MB/ea. The larger it is, the harder the forum will compress the shit out of it, affecting quality in some cases. So say you u/l a poorly optimized 4K res photo that's 20MB, and a highly optimized 2K res photo that's 3MB. The forum is going to butcher the hell out of the 4K photo, it'll probably barely touch the 2K. Reality is, 2K pixel dimensions are more than adequate for most people to see.

Sample from my reply with PDFs attached for RS3000/RS3200 programming - this view is only visible if you click 'More Options' inside the quick-edit popup window:

Thanks, guys. That was real helpful.

 

They should have to pay for that dudes house too.

 

Friend has locking lugnuts with no key. Doesn't Discount Tire have all the general keys on hand to remove them?
(Auction truck.... pretty decent deal)

 

They should

 

If not you can get them from your LAPS. We had to get some for Jon's truck at O'Reillys.

 

Thx, yeah he's been to a bunch of places. Dealer/Belle tire/autozone/advanced aito/Orileys.... I told him I'll weld a fkn nut on them and be done with it.

 

why did he declines a free and easy solution?

 

Those look like the kind vice grips can get off

 

2001 SR5 AC, leather seats, looks really nice (depending on condition of chassis) $4300 in Hazelton, PA

 

Project Farm covers the topic. @BroHon here's a great opportunity to expand your toolbox.

AZ carries the Emergency Lug Nut Remover Socket in 2 or 3 different sizes. They are in the White Knight security nut section.

 

Leather bench! seems rare.
