1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Agreed

when’s it getting out on?

 

Grinding the welds and painting Friday. I begrudgingly agreed use bedliner on it. We ran out of wire.

 

What liner?


For armor and shit I’d use a rattle can, easier to touch up if you some how boof something

 

wait you're finally putting the Relentless bumper on? did you weld it yourself?

 

How did you all miss this.

 

Holiday weekends and destinations like that are bad news. You'll spend more time watching people drive the trails then driving them yourself. I like late september. RT is usually in late October. Also something to consider. I would also love to go to Moab, never been.

 

Selective attention span, it's a blessing and a curse

 

Neighbor’s bumper uses this, and it looked and felt almost exactly like that rough type powdercoat. I was sold once I saw and felt it on his bumper.

 

I get talking with the neighbor and it turns out his dad is a Federal Government commercial welder of 40 years, he was telling me how he was welding on nuclear power plants in Texas. I bought him and his son oil coolers for their trucks in exchange for him welding it for me.

 

I know @m3bassman and maybe @Speedytech7 used a duplicolor rattle can Berliner and likes it better.


But that’ll work, that’s what I used

 

I’m good for whenever really, really up to the people that have real jobs and have to travel a long ways

 

It’s almost exactly like powdercoat, that’s what sold me. I was going to paint it in the grille and trim paint I used on my grille guard but it would’ve taken forever with rattle cans since it’s thin paint versus the liner.

 

Nice, that's gonna be one nicely welded bumper it sounds like

 

There it is.

 

Touching on the MOAB trip; I'm a middle of the week kind of guy.

I agree, weekends would be tough, but understand that people have families/commitments.

With that being said, late September would be perfect especially if it's during the week.

 

He’s very particular about welds too, at first we didn’t know about the dumb 98-00 frame horns and we had to chop it all off again. He mentioned “The only way to do it is the right way” and redid it all over again.

 

My mailman decided he wants one in tan instead of white and hasn’t picked it up yet.

 

And it still holds true to this day.

 

Yeah I feel ya. I will let you guys pick the dates and hopefully I can swing it and join in the fun.

 

Actually I'm gonna push for sometime in Oct, late Sept is my wife and I's anniversary...which reminds me I need to think of something for that coming up
