1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

How about putting the winch in front of the radiator to protect it?

 

Not judging but you really should have that bottom section of shroud in place to cool it as designed.

 

Yes. The one from a sequoia didnt fit. And my truck hasnt overheated yet (which i was worried about when i got the skidrow skidplates because they dont have sides).


My choice of bumper was made before i played with a winch. Always planned mine to be mounted to a hitch bar.

 

“When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man’s convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man’s brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle.” ~elizabeth west

 

The bicycle remains to this day the most efficient mode of transportation

 

Wow.. you should be +60 and relearning how to pedal n balance...

 

Speaking of project cars - do we have any mk4 Supra guys on here?

Some of my favorite times of my life are when I would ride my bike only for 2-3 weeks. In college. I remember one time forgetting where my car was, it had been so long since I drove. Had to call around to figure whose house it was sitting in front of.

I told my buddy to get to the dealership ASAP, but I guess he didn’t sense my urgency. He got to the dealer at 11 AM this morning and it was sold. Shoot.

 

Passed a small milestone yesterday. Getting there.

 

Not sure if this is Spring of Deception but I'm trying to take advantage of the weather.

 

Came here to post this myself. Good re affirmation that parts source matters!

 

When your dad gets excited about a $1300 first gen, you go.

Here's the biggest reason for the price


Needless to say we ran like hell.

Might offer the guy about 1/2 of that in a few weeks. Its does run and "drive" and would be the perfect candidate for some dana 60's

 

Needs an alignment, but hey, it’s practically rust free!

 

On the motorcycle forum I hang out on out of the UK, most of those guys won't even touch NGKs anymore because the fakes are everywhere and I suspect made it into the supply chain. Back before all of the tariff nonsense started, I ordered 5 sets of NGKs from a reputable supplier in Japan. Hoping those last me until it becomes cheaper to order parts from Japan again.

 

UK - that’s ironic as the reason Brits drink warm beer is their refrigerators are made by Lucas Electric. Also why Jaguars and other Brit-mobiles are so unreliable.

 

It's a UK based Suzuki site, they're not dumb enough to trust anything electrical from the UK.

 

I get my NGKs for my Toyotas and my Yamaha on Rock Auto.

 

I just checked and they don't carry the ones I need for my collection of 35+ year old bikes. They're also only $5/each in Japan, compared to $8-11/each here. Just have to wait for the tariff nonsense to end and the shipping to get back to normal.

 

Radica dragging their feet debuting their new cap.

I took some inspiration from the mainlander when building my camper. One thing is for sure, the new cap they are announcing is going to be pricey!

 

Yea, everything i’ve found is pricey. I cant believe what some folks will pay for slide-in campers.

 

Tired scooter beans, dada has worn him the hell out today

 

Just found out today that I’m gonna have a grandson in August! My son and his wife did the reveal today. Happy happy.

 

Grats! enjoy...

 

I won’t even be 50 when the baby is born…

Bought the Capri tool to make my own flares while installing a Wilwood prop valve on Sunny's truck, solid little tool for sure. Made a little bracket so the valve is attached to the MC. I bought this line bender and it worked really well, didn't leave any marks like other types I have. The built in protractor is useful.

Congrats! I’m having my first child, a boy, in August.

I turn 40 in April. Took us 4 years of trying.
