1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yes, that’s another thing I’d like to get into. Vehicle specific wiring harnesses. I’ll have to get into it a bit first before I start taking business.

With this investment I’m hoping to buy some new equipment that would expedite wiring manufacturing. I’m talking automated wire cutters and crimpers, because that’s what takes a majority of the time. I almost got carpal tunnel from crimping harnesses for almost 24 hours straight.

Looking at a new air compressor too.

 

I thought about this as well (the Bussmann RTMRs). Too much customization needed though. Sure you could build a generic one but the buyer is still going to need to figure out the rest and most wont want to do it. Not too mention the ones that do not have any experience or concept of wiring. They want a completed product that they can just plug in.

We only have one person on TW which I think is building out RTMRs. Not sure how much he offers in the way of customization.

As for instructions - tacozord's write up here is one of the best (with some modification to his process). For a visual, as you go reference - this guy has a good vid. I'd skip on his eaton fuse holder box (from the batt to the RTMR and other boxes) and opt for breakers instead.

 

TY rock lobster

 

I ordered these just to see how they hold up... really impressed with quality. Put a few in the tackle boxes and camp gear. There are similar products on Amazon and different sizes. @Kwikvette - might want to check them out as well.

compressed size is about the size of a poker chip

 

Becoming a private side operation/contractor work in any electrical field is stupid lucrative. The end goal of pretty much any PLC tech is to do private contracting. Anybody Ive met that does it is swimming in money haha.

 

@Wulf
yeah it all makes sense now, for some reason I still had it in my head that you had a welded diff lol.

 

Ok, gracias!!

 

@CS_AR how many of the approximately 409 residents of Dallas Wisconsin do you suppose have the Tacoma?

 

I dunno. How about Dallas PA?

 

it says 2804 residents there!

 

Oiled Cone filters in general are really bad, they gunk up your MAF. The dry ones like AFE are good.

 

Shut up!!

 

I like to let the engine run without a filter to make sure the valves get some cleaning action from incoming sand

 

2 months with the new Ford, 6K miles on it...and that doesn't count mileage I put on the LS400 either

 

thank you for self identifying as old. You will now be corralled off with @GQ7227, @cruiserguy, @eon_blue, @Kwikvette, and @se7enine

 

errr, I don't mean old because I'm not ageist. I mean "advanced experienced"

 

Dude badass
