1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Your phone just might be shifty

Shifty recognizes shifty

 

But I never typed that word, it picked it up off the TXT in the quote, not an "input" of mine.

 

@BroHon found it. Not sure if DC checks any boxes for you. I wouldn't mind one, but I have no need for one, apart from that roll down back window. AC 4 Lyfe I'm assuming it's 4wd based on the stickers, but without proof of the button or even a tailgate shot, I'm skeptical.

 

Yeah, I mean, a quote is technically typed text in a box. If you ever needed to multi-quote, that could do it too.

 

Sounds like it's in the rear end, possibly pinion bearing. Mashed the gas and whipped it around from a stop to hear a "PINK-PINK-PINK" noise. Vibration is real mild but there. Giving it more than half throttle in first you can hear whine and grind like a dry power steering pump, scary stuff. Gotta baby it around until I throw the DC axle together.

 

You check fluid level out back? Pinion (IME) is more of a hoary moan on decel.

 

I might be late to the party here, but is everyone good after the hurricane on the south east?

 

I didn’t see how bad it was in NC until I watched the national news.

 

Maybe we have the same alphabet boys for handlers.

 

All good here, but the oldest and I drive over to Medlock park occasionally to hike a 3-4 mile out-and-back trail that hits the baaseball fields at one point. South Peachtree Creek Trail. I heard the creek, which is crazy long, had overflowed but ...

The ball fields have 6ft chain link around them. We couldn't even get near the place. 2" of silt mud on the ground, covering all the sidewalks and ballfields. You could tell by the mesh on the fences, the fences were at least 4ft underwater. Everything was underwater over there. Fortunately most of the houses there are above the creek/flood line, but it's still crazy how much water came thru town on the 'Hooch and creeks.

 

Some areas got 30" of rain in 2.5 days. It's really sad seeing the damage. Some people are stranded because the roads are gone. A lot of the rural parts of those mountains only have 1-2 roads in or out.

 

Hahaha, crazier shit has happened. I'd win the "most boring" target in their office though.

 

Damn, that's a lot of water. We were in Hilton Head when the storm hit. Thrashed up the place pretty good. Thankfully I came home to a undamaged house/property. I was checking constantly through my ring doorbell during the storm, ha.

 

Ok so I’ve been making this for a minute and I’m really digging it. I’ve been calling it “truffalo sauce”.

Mix 50/50 with Melinda’s Black Truffle Hot Sauce and Louisiana or Crystal’s hot sauce. It almost has a buttery buffalo flavor. Awesome tossed with nuggets or wings. I don’t like this specific Melinda’s sauce solo. I love their sauces though, esp the XXXX reserve. The green sauce in squirt bottle like this one is solid, mix it with mayo and it tastes like jalapeño tartar sauce, dice in white onion and jalapeño and it’s killer, but it’s good without the fresh veg too.

 

Anyone on here build a camper shell roof rack out of 2040 aluminum extrusion. I’m planning to build one and I’m in need of inspiration lol I have all the materials just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas.

 

No but it's not low. It's because I floored it from a dead stop. Shock load broke something for sure but I won't have time to look at it for a while.

 

The walmart in sealy has a rack of maybe 100 little hot sauces for $1 ea. this was definately a good choice.

 

got this fixed. Was really worried it was gonna fall off. 1/4-20 bolt to the rescue.

 

Yeah, so my flavor of choice would be AC/4X4/V8 of course/bench (no buckets no leather)/00-02/preferably not black or white, but color is not critical if it's minty. Something that looks somewhat stock and not bastardized with bullshit. Maybe I would like buckets?, but I love my bench.
EDIT: ABS not a deal breaker but ide just as soon go without that and SAIS as well.

 

That's not a bad deal. Some rust on the frame indeed, looks like a Colorado truck. I'd be interested to see if the clearcoat is failing or not, and know if the timing belt has ever been done. Looks like a solid deal right there. Definitely seen some ass miles in those seats though.

 

Hey y'all, anyone know if we have a 1st-gen'er that lives around Indianapolis, specifically on the north side, between I-65 and I-69?

I know we have a bunch of folks across the IL border in-or-near-Chicago folks like @empty_lord and @FiatRunner, but that's like 3 hours away. I need someone southeast of there, ideally smack in the center of IN, the closer to Noblesville the better.

 

This ones been up for sale for a while. I noticed that they deleted pictures of more severe rust since it was originally posted.

 

You in the area? No one I know of personally

 

Not in the area, but I found something interesting for sale in that area and need a facilitator to get it to Atlanta.

"Facilitation" in this case would be handing off some cash to a seller, then driving the part to a FedEx storefront to pay for packing and shipping. Seller won't ship, local pickup only. Item is ~24x12x12 in size and weighs about 60lb.

 

Was that where @chrisb lived?

 

Shit you're right. It is. Hmmmm....

 

On the Fiat 124 forums we have a map that shows where people live, if they're cool with sharing. Not sure how or if we could do something like that but it would be cool.

It's helpful for when people find a part for sale in a certain area, or people from an area can talk to others nearby when they need location-specific help. It's neat.

 

I think there is a map on here too. It was in stickies when I finally stopped lurking.

Meanwhile, mmmmmmm pinch weld scars….
