1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

ive got that kit on my wife’s sequoia. So far haven’t noticed any difference in coolant level. Been on the truck since June and it’s daily driven. My Cummins also runs a mishimoto silicone hose kit.

 

I actually enjoyed calculus. I'm hoping to try again when they open classes back up. Shitty thing is, I'd probably have to start my math over again. I've forgotten most of it, plus I didn't do that great in trig and cal II seems to rely on it heavily.

 

The latest drama is that the Turd gen Tundra won't have tow hooks standard. They will only be an option. Apparently some electric air dam drops down at highway speed to improve MPG. I can't wait to see actual MPG numbers.

 

I've learned that I'm not a fan of silicone hoses. They're too damn stiff. I have a silicone hose on my intercooler and it leaks boost because no amount of hose clamp will properly seal it.

 

Did you see the one; how will you get into the bed with the tailgate down?

 

I missed that. That was a thread or just a post? Now I must read.

 

My buddy dropped out of school, I thought I could help his daughter with her math. I was doing okay with the algebra until we got into the geometry terms. I can't remember all that sine and cosine and tangent shit. I quickly told her jump to the back of the book and there are answers to every other question, wing it on the rest and mathematically you have good odds to get a C.

When people get those red tow hooks they stand out too much. Looks like nipple rings... on a dude.

I couldn't help it. I'm not exactly limber myself but they fear stupid things.

 

Now I have no idea how I've managed to get in the bed of my truck all these years. A real life mystery.

 

Strange if they can't figure out a small life problem like that. Even when I'm dead tired or injured I can sit on the tailgate and stand up. Honestly putting a foot on the corner of the bumper is way more sketchy than putting a foot on the tire. I would never do it that way.

 

These are hilarious to me.

I've seen the folding steps in person on both GM and Fords. I think they're bling-bling, but I'd rather the manufacturer skip this option in favor of cost savings. In a work truck I could just see these busting prematurely due to heavy use.

I had one of these laying around in the garage and now keep it in my bed box. I don't use it too often because I'm pretty nimble, but it's nicer than an integrated tailgate step because I can also use it as a table or footrest.

 

I really like the cutouts GM does on the corner of the rear bumper.

 

I slide and wriggle in like a seal. Seal noises for bonus effect. The home depot worker loading the truck next to me seemed concerned.

 

Yeah its a nice to have but not something I would worry about.

 

Go go gadget grabby arm thing.

 

The tow hooks thread and the bed step thread are the same guy. What if its Heather and he came back just to troll the hell out of the formerly know as turd gen crowd?

 

Just remember SOA, CAH, TOA and the trig identities and you're half way there.

 

Some old hippy caught another hippy trippin' on acid.

 

ORT ORT ORT! ORT ORT!

Can I get a bidet with that too, please? I'm also feeling too lazy to wipe my own ass.

 

If Fred's last name starts with an L, you may be onto something there

 

Wait, Fred... isn't that picture Fred Sanford?

Maybe I can drop a note in there and see if he reacts.

Almost tempted to grab that front bumper and modify it to fit my truck, and paint it black.

 

1993 Toyota Pickup with only 84 miles up for auction.

I almost bought an incredibly similar one in a maroon bubble gum factory color for $5,500 about a year before I got my Gen1. That one had more reasonable but still low mileage, exceptional but not as mint as an undriven truck.

 

y'all both just going to ignore what looks like factory tow package sitting there? it looks like both the crossbar/support and the hitch are there, or am I nuts?

 

Modify it like that one green truck that cut the trim part off, and made it really short?

edit: like this ?

 

I have a factory tow package

Also some leaf packs i think
