1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I came to this store for one easy call and then the power goes out and the rack shuts down. Now i gotta stay here.

 

yeah MCM fab LT on Frankenstein. Solo stock LCAs on Igor.

The solo's are nice. But there is some cons to them I don't like. And I had a pretty major incident last month involving them that I need to follow up with them on that was life threatening.

I can't say I'd recommend them at this time until I know why what happened to happened. Before the issue, I liked them but didn't like things about them.

As for LT vs MT. There is NO comparison in terms of how they ride. LT is head and freaking shoulders above it. It is unreal how much it changes the ride for the better. There are a lot of compromises that one much be ready for if going that route though that are sort of obvious(width) but there is a LOT of cost involved that lots overlook.

I can say having both...I miss LT every time Im in the dirt without it. It is so good and so fun. however a good MT setup is still best "all around" do everything without question. And you can really dial in a nice MT setup. But it still won't handle stuff like a LT will. That extra 6''ish of travel is HUGE.

Can go into more detail on all of this if you'd prefer. Possibly in a different thread that doesn't move as fast ha

 

Since I got my clutch put in now I have a rough idle. Idk about RPMs because I don’t have a tac

 

Awesome info... I'd sure like to pick your (and others) brains on this. I've been thinking about starting a new thread on it. Maybe like a supplemental build thread, like I did on my 4x swap. I have a lot of questions, and there are some big differences between the two directions (LT and MT). And I am fully aware of the cost involved, so I'd like to have my mind really made up before I start going in either direction. (What would you say... would a thread be better posted in the 1st Gen section or the Long Travel section? I try not to be the guy that starts a bunch of bullshit useless threads on here)

(I'm really curious about your situation with the stock length LCAs now, but understand how you wouldn't want to put things out in the atmosphere until you know what actually happened and why)

 

Nice.

 

Hmm, mine didn't come in 1950's product packaging...then again I got it through LROR

 

I mean this topic has been covered a lot I think. But if you look around you either get people who scoff at LT, or only have LT, or people that started at MT and then went LT who just say LT haha

Its a bit annoying.

But if you have a build I think that would be fine. If you start a thread about it either place would work, the LT crowd will rain down on it in the LT section but not all of them are....helpful..

The cost up front is a large difference, but thigns you don't take into account is abuse. LT REALLLY lets you beat on the truck...which leads to lots of other shit breaking...and needing beefed up..or replaced...ect. That's the part I find a lot of people don't see on the surface. There are other cost some people over look as simple as you'll want fiberglass fender...and that they don't hard work to help cover your tires anyways and mud/dirt will be everywhere everytime on your rig.

Shit like that.

As for the solo LCA's, Im ordering some new part to see if it was a different fault but contacting Solo at the same time to see if they have anything they might know. It was a weird thing that happened and might not be their fault.

 

Yeah the packaging is really neat. You don’t see stuff like that anymore. I got it through NAPA. It’s sold as Altrom.

 

Which phone you go with? You liking it?

 

Oh and mine were inners so that might be why too...outers I got OEM

 

3 gallons of 15w-40 and a filter the size of a half gallon of milk and you're ready to go

 

LG Stylo 5...if I remember right. So far I really like it, slightly bigger than my last LG phone which is good and bad...harder to hold in one hand and type/scroll with lol. But bigger screen to read things on is better. And best of all the battery lasts way longer since it's new. Never drops below 70 percent throughout the day. After a few years my old phone needed to be charged at least a couple times a day

 

Double check grounds and connections and vac hoses.

 

winter is here. 5W40 for me

 

Phone batteries are amazing now. Was in same spot and then I could go two days without plugging in the phone? Fugoutahere

 

@Blue92

 

5w-40 blue bottle synthetic Rotella? That was a common one I'd analyze samples of at the lab. Good good oil. Diesel engines are pretty hard on their oil. Especially the Power strokes, but most oil is good nowadays

 

You went for 555 Inner and OEM outer? That’s weird I assume you should do the opposite since the inner seems more vital.

 

That be the stuff, rotella T6.

Might as well start buying it by the barrel since it's good to run in just about everything else I own but the Toyotas get Supertech Synthetic since it's like $15-18
