1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I can manhandle this one, but a hoist would be easier. Luckily it onlyhas to move a few feet.


This one, i dont stand a chance as a mortal without crystal vibration. But if i can hoist it 3 ft or so i can drive it the 500ft it needs to move, then hoist it down & articulate it into a lit-up address block. Might even use the 'heart rock' to stand it on end. 8' tall & bulletproof.



yea, manhandled the 500ish lb 'heart rock' up 2ish ft with muscles. If it had balanced better it'd be standing. Its a different rock than the 1st pic. That rock is over 18" thick.

could i run a throttle? Something that starts at 8v & ramps to 15ishv

 

Which winch do you have?

 

badland zxr 12k. Less than $200 with the HF coupon.

the big rock is probably quite a bit lighter than that. I can make a short cable, so i dont have to waste the wraps. The straps holding the rocks will have some give, too.

 

And you're guesstimating that the rock...i mean boulder weighs about 5 tons? Never the less, the brake on the winch should easily handle whatever load you ask of it to do.

 

guesimating the big rock might be 3 tons, i was exagerating. But curious if i can build my hoist of 4x4's or if it'll need to be heavier. The whole thing will be able to be carried with the 5.5' ranger bed.

 

I'd step up to 6x6 with those weights. I assume your talking about a tripod type hoist? Or are you doing some cantilevered lever lifting?

 

Gin poles

 

Coming from 1st hand experience, i wouldn't even attempt to load an 800 pound rock in the bed of any pickup. The reason being is that a hard rock will put all of it's weight onto one pinpoint spot and would crush the sheetmetal bed. We tried this in a friend's old mitsubishi pickup with closer to a 500 pound rock and it totally messed up both his bed and tailgate. He was super bummed, but all the rest of us who were helping him was laughing at him (we're all good friends, so it was ok to laugh). If you still want to proceed, then i'd layer up the bed with at least 4 sheets of 1/2" plywood to help distribute the force of the boulder. Better yet is to use a trailer with plywood stacked underneath the rock.

 

You better take pics of the squat. For science.

 

The boulder only weighs 1323 pounds.
Dry concrete is 150 pounds per cubic foot. You do the math.

 

Merry Christmas, one and all.

 

Ditto.

 

Merry Christmas & Happy Hannukka all y'all.

 

Both falling on the 25th this year! Wild.

 

You mean like this? It did indeed dent his bed and do a little damage on the way out. I was surprised how little squat there was though.

 

Must have air bags

 

Merry Christmas yall!!

 

Yeah, no idea, he did tell me it was too rusted out underneath to tow any more.

 

Even though it's an hour early by central standard time, merry Christmas you assholes. I love each and everyone of you fucks. Except @5N0W808. Fuck that guy. Whoever he is......

 

Dude that's fucking awesome!

And then,

Fuck you dude! No fucking garbage ass sxs shit for me!

 

I thought those were Lambo doors

 

Merry Xmas best gen crew.

Who got truck parts?
Pretty sure I didn't. But I have a problem with spending too much on myself (my trucks) around this time of year. I don't need any help from Santa.

 

Smokin' pork butt & a tri tip today.

 

No truck parts, but Santa did bring me a nice little oil leak! What a nice guy, lmao.

 

Merry Christmas, also from CST, the double cab of time zones. (i.e. inferior)

 

Somebody was on the naughty list!

 

So where's that put mountain time? Stepside?
Is eastern or western time RC or AC then?
