1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I'll have to either dig up my order or dig in the trash for the box to find out which I got I guess.

 

I "liked" that, as in I'd like to punch the dude in the face, with a chair. Look how beat to shit that thing is.. miss matched wheels, shit dangling from the front end, bashed fender broken tailgate, and the box is rubbing on the cab.
some people don't deserve a FGT. If I look at that picture long enough, I hear "HELP!!!"

 

Yeah 16" in the rear and 15" in front

 

My 4runner wheels like that were 16’s. I dont think 15’s will fit over the calipers.

 

Those split tri spokes are 15's, I bet you $100.

 

They were fifteens on my 99 Tacoma.


4Runner have bigger front brakes?

 

One or the other.

 

It'll trigger off either, but if it's ceiling mounted and your CO detector goes off, you're already dead. CO is heavy and settles below air. Combo units up high are basically useless. I'd stick regular smokes up high and do a CO detector low by the furnace or bedrooms.

 

@shifty` I found the Amazon email. Couldn't pull item up on their site for anymore details, because it's no longer available.

CO LIGHT Anti-glare 9003/H4 LED Headlight Bulbs with Z-shaped Cut-off Line Mini Projector Lens Canbus Hi/Lo Beam, 20000 lumens H4 LED Headlight Bulbs for Headlight Retrofits

I guess I'll have to dig in the trash for the box

 

This seems to be how most FGT's are treated these days. It's just an old truck for most people.

 

What do you think of crackie then?

 

a little effort goes a long way.

 

DUDE, I made it almost all the way through the "resurrection" thread... you're showing that thing love haha. I'm taking about people beating the shit out of them and neglecting them. Crackie is a true comeback story

 

Lmao I know, and he is a comeback story!

I just like poking sometimes

 

Man! Thanks for that information.

I ordered one and will put in near the floor under my attic door. Appreciate you!

 

I always get a kick out of stories I've read about people who were CO poisining themselves. This was one of them:

Technically CO is just a pinch lighter than air and will float around the room. It won’t settle or rise so most anywhere a CO detector is placed should be fine. I believe the sweet spot for a stand alone CO detector is about 5ft up on the wall though.

Oh, I saw this “Texas Edition” Jetta yesterday complete with Boss Hogg horns on the front

 

Clearly a diesel also. WTF is up with the wheels?! I know VW folks can be special, but it would appear they're running 2"-3" spacers? The hell?

 

How else do you get 31"s to clear the UCA?

 

Yup. That's where they had us put em for a while, but I don't think it's enforced anymore. I haven't done a house in a minute.

 

The worst I've seen is a yellow mustang around our area that has fuel truck wheels on spacers or terrible specs that stick out even further than that haha.

EDIT: Found the pic haha

 

I think that's purely backspace, judging by where the lug nuts are sitting and guesstimating the hub mating surface. But yeah, that's pretty horrendous. Let's hope it's a 1" wide wheel and it's purely because he's laying drag on the regular.

That Jetta though, clearly the wheels aren't dished, and I know the axle's not that wide because I had a MKIV myself, and I know the hub mating surface sits almost perfectly in-line with the fender.

 

I forget that mk4's can't run super aggressive offset wheels, but what I do know is that TDI barely had enough power to get out of its own way before those tires haha

 

We're sending a mall crawler Gladiator (JL?) to auction. I'm snagging the winch off of it in the morning.

 

Gladiator is JT and the Wrangler is JL(U)

 

The Ecodiesel in the JLU is pretty nice, I enjoy driving it. Don't like how it rides though. Pops will be getting rid of his eventually and may end up in a 3rd gen.
