1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I thought about chopping my flatbed's fenders to run 35s. But even just 35s would be terrible on the IFS. Grind Hard is solid axle swapping their truck soon over it.

 

Just send that flat bed my way

 

Read the first post, that was enough to realize......what I realized(I'll play nice). But it confirms that more and more people looking to push blame onto everyone or everything else except their own damn self. Blows my mind and by FAR my biggest pet peeve. Bad enough when it's 20 year olds, but when it's the adult adults like me 40+, and they have that little entitled, whiny, victim, 'poor little old me' mentality.. omg dude grow a nutsack and take some fking responsibility. Be a fuggin man.

Edit:my old man get off my lawn rant

 

I would not fit in at all in that third gen section. It's not a tech section. It's a whiny baby girls complaint section.

Okay, now I'm done

 

Bad ass little stubby imp driver. M12 too, so it's light and you can wing it all day long... Nice

 

Gets at least one person every winter it seems

 

1st gen section on TW definitely leaves something to be desired...
it makes me sad

 

You made a typo there at the beginning, think you meant '3rd'

 

No one answered his question in the other thread, now he’s sad

 

Lolol

 

Good bit stronger actually. It's not even a size difference (well not significantly anyway... The 8.4 name is a misnomer) but the 8.4 carrier has lateral bracing to stop the pinion from pushing the ring gear away and stripping. The 8" minitruck axle (what the locker axle is) is a very old and rather small differential for something that has a GVWR of 5300lbs

 

Any idea why they opted to make the locking rear ends weaker than the open ones? Seems counter intuitive but maybe they just weren't looking at it from the same lens we do. I guess most people in stock trucks aren't ever going to have to worry about blowing up a rear end, 8" or not

 

I wondered if or what something was majorly improved or different between them. I'll have to look at it in the diagram, I hear what you're saying, I just wanna see it in my mind or with my eyes so it clicks better

 

They already existed from minitruck days, why spend more money for a lower production option. The finally fixed it with the 3rd gens, well sorta, they had a rocky start with the whole production.... But now it's a nice size harrop style locker. Much stouter all around from engagement to gear support.

 

Thats my backpack drill i got a big one in the van lol

 

Damn 95 degrees this past weekend and now tomorrow it's a high of 60 with up to an inch of rain over the next 36hrs and snow at 5k ft in the mountains. Hello Fall...took you long enough

 

Yeah fo sho, I wasn't being funny. I still use my old original M12 impact as my daily from like 10 yrs ago, maybe more
