1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

He gave me the Ford Explorer mounting brackets, same ones your average off road light bar uses that mounts in the jamb. I’ll just use some Rivnuts.

 

COPS is still around, it’s been airing since 1989. Currently produced by Paramount Pictures.

 

Spoke too soon lol

 

Picking up this baby tomorrow. It’s an old Centipede cabinet made by Atari. Going to be turning it into a MAME cabinet for a friend of mine’s birthday. I’ll be converting it to the Street Fighter II livery.

Thanks for the inspiration, @se7enine

 

I'm trying to remember what area my mom technically lives in, I don't think it's the city of Monterey either. In fact, I think it's called Marina

 

I almost got my house there, but I'm actually considering an apartment out there just for the convenience. Marina is even closer as it's only 15 minutes away

 

My mom's got a nice 2 story place in a community right near the beach, apparently it's a former military housing community but not anymore

 

No not Marina Del Ray, just Marina...Marina Del Ray is down here in Socal, Marina is up north before the Bay area

 

Oh I know, I was born at Silas B Hays before it was shut down. Old Military Hospital

 

Definitely. Guy is basically giving it away, I got an incredible deal on it. Saves me a lot of time and labor that I’d have to do if I cut and built it from scratch.

 

I think you're referring to Del Rey Oaks

 

Marina neighbors Monterey and Sand City. Coming from 218 off of the 68 (towards Monterey) though is Del Rey Oaks.

 

Came to my storage to pick up my Fox rears; going to try them on now that I've got some weight .

They're practically new with less than 200-300 miles on them.

 

No...I didn't gain weight, my truck did .

 

Santa aka the brown truck is gonna deliver some small goodies from Amazon for my dads 08 tomorrow, then a while bunch more goodies next week from Headstrong offroad!


My favorite part of working on cars is looking at all the new parts before they get used and gross looking...

 

What'd you get from Headstrong

 

5100's pre assembled with their housebrand 2" lift coils for 2nd gens. Then a single AAL for the rear, some 2 degree shims and new u bolts. Brake pads and slide pins coming from Amazon. Just gonna slap new pads on his old rotors without re-surfacing them or anything.

 

The maxtrac adjustable shackles? I had a set, good for fine tuning your lift, as they dont give a full 2", maybe 1.5" at best. I sold em to @Uphillshunter so maybe his opinion differs than mine if he ever installed em.

 

Yeah I never understood why people resurface rotors when they're so easy and cheap to replace.

 

His arent even warped or anything so I may just scuff em up with some sand paper and slap new pads on. Gonna do a real good bleed, cause Toyota didnt do that good a job after the frame swap. Pedal is real mushy.
