1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

oh im at the start the music and the random hand signal dance is making me cringe

 

very true

 

Monte uses frank hard and puts him away wet. He gets almost no real maintenance before a trip. Because of Frank we all pre-trip our trucks and keep up on shit as it comes rather than dealing with it later. Monte just needs more time with frank to make him what he could be again. A rollover and reassembly isn't the issue, because its not that hard, mine holds together well. It's not Frank's issue either, it is that it isn't Monte's main vehicle and after making Igor trip ready there isn't much reason for him to prep frank for anything or really to even take it on trips.

 

do we need to take frank away and pool together to get him fixed and tell monte "you can have him back now, but dont break him got it!"

 

Frank looks good from 20 feet through fog haha, he actually photographs excellently, but inside its missing a lot and he's real rough around the edges. Still love when Monte brings Frank but I'm pretty sure Frank won't be along for any trips until Monte has a chance to do literally everything to him again. Needs everything checked, needs lots of things improved, and I'm sure Monte has new stuff to do to him.

 

similar boat im in. just needs to take the time to address and fix everything

 

I'd love if we could gather the wheeling gang to all get Frank back on track, with all of us and a plan we could be back wheeling after a long weekend I'm sure and even work in some new parts and ideas even. We all do fab work and most of us do electrical and engine work. Be cake. Maybe one day if he gets all his parts and materials we could do something like that to Frank, or maybe one of us could plan for our own trucks. We do mod days locally but we're a spread out group of friends so it's usually onesy twosy.

 

Yep if you zoom in you can see his flaws. I like his stance, it looks mean, but from what you and Monte has said. Frank needs some serious tlc, and frank is tough to steer apparently. I like my truck lol. The LT look is sweet, but I dont know if I ever wanna do that to my truck.

But he now has the single cab as well

 

this is where the 5 ton comes to play when its a fab truck lol just carry everything you can possibly want. if it did happen i'd love to be there to learn and first hand experience it.

 

Ive got my own lists of mods haha and a sick gato so my money is going to the cat, then house, then truck lol

 

@Prayn4surf
jesus that dude is a idiot. that looked like a bad trail and everyone else didnt do anything to help reduce or prevent that rollover.

 

Them's good priorities. In a month I can get a dog finally! That's gonna be my birthday present to myself

 

Yep how he got put in charge makes no sense to me. I wish I knew who he was so I could remember to never wheel with him. That trail is 40 min from my house

 

I finally put a dashcam in my truck but I so wish I had one when I flipped, would have been a glorious sight I'm sure... especially if there was audio

 

What kind of dog?

 

A big oh shiiiiit

 

Chicken wire and duct tape...

 

my house is all good, gf got an upgraded kitchen so its just truck now. she gave me the green light, which is why im so crazy lol go until she cuts me off. but she also knows that to get this truck where i want it is a dream and life goal sort of speak. never really had a chance to do these things with any previous car/truck.

lol what kind of dog you wanting?

the second i saw him giving her directions i literally said this is bad.

 

You know I have a bit of a tough time recalling what happened leading up to the roll, but I can remember the roll itself and going hard over on the roof and back to wheels and I don't think I said a thing. I did however hold onto my inner door handle and seatbelt as it isn't the first time I've been in an out of control vehicle and I knew keeping my arms inside and unbroken was critical. My first thought after the roll was to holy shit that happened... oh no my buddies are booking it behind me better warn them so they don't have to panic stop and almost impale me with Elite bumpers haha

 

I really want a collie or Aussie shepherd, but I like all manner of big dogs like GSD and such too. Husky, Doberman and Pit are all adorable and I love them too but it's hard to find places that are okay with you having one
