1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

If I could do one other thing (outside of predict cards) it would be guitar or piano. #jealous

 

West Coast Crew? Or Sleep When I'm Dead Six?

 

Same here. You can learn guitar, the first few months is the hardest.

i dont know what happened to the sound.

 

Little late to the party but I'm still alive and kicking for now. I've been elbow deep in life. New job, moving, and getting the Firebird I bought running (it's named the Fireturd and I actually have an LS I plan to swap in it now)

The week before I was supposed to move, my water pump went out and I had to tackle that job myself for the first time. I had it done at a shop like 40k miles prior, the water pump leaked, and then a different shop put a new water pump in again about 20k miles ago. I ended up getting a whole new Aisin belt and pump kit just to be done with it.

 

I’m stewing on a solid axle swap once my CVs and ball joints go out again. I already have an upper bj that busted a boot. They’re barely a year old.

At his point I’m thinking radius arms. Better ride than leafs, and less complicated than a full 4 link. Plus, I want to retain good road manners and drive ability, so ride height should be change too much. I could potentially even reuse the stock coil over top mounts.


We’ll see. I have so many unfinished projects that I probably shouldn’t even waste time thinking about it, but it’s fun to dream and plan.

 

In my internet wandering a last night, I discovered another company making hammer hanger-style leaf spring hangers. They’re a fair bit cheaper than archive as well.

Purty welds on those....

Honestly, if you can just learn 3-4 chords (C, D, G Maj, E min?), you can already play hundreds (thousands?) of songs, half-ass.

First song I was taught to play was Rebel Rouser because the awesome dude living across the street teaching me (RIP Scottie W Gibbs!) wanted me to learn how to move my hands around the neck a little bit.

@alb1k you should know, Fender has online classes on the cheap. You just need to decide whether you want to learn acoustic or electric (or bass, which is weird to me) and carry on. You can get any solid, beginner-friendly action, inexpensive Yamaha F or G model full size acoustics at your local Guitar Center or similar all day long.

I know some folks have other tricks to handle it, but brake cleaner will knock most of that oil stain out of the concrete pretty quick.

 

I would use those in a second. Mine are better, lol.

 

Who are yours made by, and what else are you pairing when them?

 

Archive Garage Hammer Hangers, Total Chaos drop shackles (longer shackles), Archive MD Shackleton Leaf Springs, and Archive DIY cross support.

 

Lil dude just chillin

 

Frog on a pig.
What are you guys pumping out?

 

this truck being parted out got perfectly hit on just the doors.

 

Not pumping anything. Changing socks. This is our "oil seperator." Filters out any oil in the water before it goes back to the city circulation.

Like a sock on a rooster.

 

And everything else but the hood....

 

1 - whoever was driving that car has significant back problems in their future, if they're not paralyzed already, significant impact.
2 - this picture just reminds me I wouldn't mind picking up some OEM step bars to keep on-hand "just in case" I want a change later.

 

Put my DC in a clearly Gen 2+ thread for fun. No haters though. I'll have a Gen 2 eventually...

 

i want a reg cab 5.7 so bad.

 

How bad did you want to buy that black one for sale here? It was killing me.

 

I avoided looking at it. Lol


When the guy called the dealer about this truck at first my writer told me it was a reg cab 5.7. I was estatic. Then I talked to the guy and it was a 4.7. Still awesome. But not 505hp supercharged future ahead of it awesome lol

 

Driver dead I think.

 

Yeah, good thing you avoided looking at it, you would be done. I couldn't stop looking.

 

Better be a 4x4 if your putting this kind of graphic on it

 

Sweet, Tundra in space. It happens more than you think.

 

Someone’s take on “unicorn”

 

4x4 would be a must. So it can go AWD. It would be a street truck

 

I have a set of TRD Calipers for one.. just because I know I’ll own one one day and I will be stupid and make it fast
