1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yeah, imagine if I had hit the other side where the snorkel is...probably would've ripped the mount off the a-pillar and I'd be in even worse trouble, not to mention a broken dorkle

 

Yes, I know I used too much Bondo.

There were a lot of dents and scrapes from when I removed the media pressure pot mounts from the cabinet. Had to glob a lot on there to make sure it’s even with the sheet metal.

 

Dont think ive ever seen a 1st gen with one. See. Lots of 2nd gens and land cruisers

 

Now yoy gotta cut the back off and out a new plate. Because the metal is paper thin

 

It’s a blast cabinet. I can live with it.

Plus I’m pretty sure with my welding I’ll want to buy a new cabinet when I’m done.

 

*insert pics of your canopy*

 

Shame I couldn’t get the pressure pot working. It used way too much air. My compressor couldn’t keep up.

Siphon feed is perfectly fine anyway.

 

Oh god. Don’t remind me.

 

Just have a paint shop mix it for you and put it into a rattle can. Usually cheaper and you get better results.

But that stuff is good too. I used their two stage clear coat.

 

The cost of the steel to make one outweighs the cost of me just buying a new bed. So probably not. Just want a reliable tow capable truck. 7300lb toeing is more than enough for me. So t belt water pump, body work, bed, ball joints and OME lift kit. That’s the plan.

Oh and the dreadful cam seals need to be replaced... so that mess

 

Not a single paint shop near me would do that for me. Napa could, but I needed to buy 6 cans.

 

6 cans? Ridiculous.

 

Oh yeah.

 

Oh lawd, check out the wide stance 2nd gen thread. Heres a preview and it aint LT:
Easy brake jobs for sure though.

 

He even said he's going to add another 4in of width lol.

Some people just love spending money on stuff just to get a WTF reaction out of others

 

Its their money pit. I guess at that point you do LBJ and wheel bearings at every oil change.

 

Fresh as fuck


Didn’t matter though never caught up, just got all the dogs gathered

 

Looks like a Hawaiian style truck. Of course common in HI but certainly not in the mainland.

 

My favorite thing about bondo, is wating for it to dry on the plastic spreader, then popping it off by bending the plastic. Most satisfying thing to do ever.
