1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I have yet to bring my taco lol. Always go with my cusion who had a SC srt8 jeep

 

Get a twisted wire cup brush for an angle grinder or some newish metal. Buy a 10lb spool of wire from HTP America online as that's where its cheap. If wire ain't burnin', you ain't learnin'.
Actually do what they made me do in welding class. Cover an entire 3/8" steel plate (3"x10") in weld beads on both sides, then spend 30 mins grinding it smooth and do it again each night for about 2 weeks straight. Then stand the same piece of plate up and take the weld beads uphill for 2 weeks, after that clamp it to your ceiling and do overhead for 2 more weeks. I thought I'd never use overhead welding but its pretty much all I do if I'm welding under the truck. Use the above method and you'll be a self proclaimed welder in about a month or two. Just make sure you use the same piece of plate as all the grinding will make you a better welder.

 

I have plenty of time to teach myself to weld and plenty of projects that'll need it but no cash for a welder. I need a damn raise

 

Not everybody can afford a nice MIG and myself included. I bought a Hobart Stick welder for $350 new. Then I later bought a kit to run scratch start TIG off of the same machine for another $200. Hobart does sell refurbished machines on the Hobart weld shop website. They come with all the same stuff you'd get if you buy new for a couple bills cheaper.

 

oh man I have 2 threads to try and follow now..

I ended up eating tamales for lunch, didn't quite satisfy my cravings but it'll do

 

I love tamales but the places around here that say they are authentic and home made are also the places that look most likely to give you Montezuma's revenge

 

You need to goto so cal then. Or have a Mexican grandma like me...
i got a Mexican grandma and a italian grandma. So good food is no problem for me lol

Oh and a thai gf who got a grandma lol

 

Usually the best tamales are found there.

 

They are the best till your on the toilet for days

 

Thank you for doing this. The other thread had one post of "what I did to my Tacoma today" for every 9 posts of jaw-jacking.

 

Only problem now is with out all are bs that thread is gunna move like the 3rd jen one now... while this one goes crazy

 

They should just call the Tacoma thread "first gen live chat thread"

 

The live chats on here get pretty funny lol. I never talk in them just read them lol

 

It'll be nice to have a place for mostly first gen owners BS, plenty of us have similarities for conversation topics

 

yeah I feel kinda bad for polluting the other thread...gets too easy to get caught up in the BS'ing especially when you're bored at work. Makes me look like I'm busy to my coworkers lol.

 

Luckily our IT department hasn't caught on to my TW habit....or they just don't care. Either way I've made it nearly 3 years here next month so I guess I'll just keep on doing my thing.

 

My gf get jealous because i talk to you guys nore then her sometimes..

 

LOL mine too...that or I spend my free time when I'm home from work either working on my truck or wheeling it. She's gotten pretty into the whole wheeling and camping thing though. Makes it a little easier to justify spending money on parts and stuff.

 

My gf is to girly even though she wont say it. But she doesn’t care about cars or wheeling lol. Makes it hard to buy parts.

 

@eon_blue You're into photography right?
