1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I was hoping to run 10 or 12 gauge speaker wire to the battery held on by Radio Shack alligator clips found in the closet, and tape up the winch to my hood with the scotch tape I never used for Christmas gifts.

 

I'll bring Gaffers tape to use instead scotch and we should be good

 

I need to get an alignment done before driving up there on Saturday...and finish installing the AP skids. Haven't put the trans skid on yet.

 

One the tundras truestart even get remotely weak an odyssey is what’s going on it. Been happy with my diehard platinum which is the same battery.

 

In that case bring the make-shift snatch block improvised from a Duncan yo-yo and we should be good to go

 

I should mount a bumper on the truck shouldn't I, eh?

I don't know if my truck is anywhere near ready to be taken off road with no skid plate or bumper.

 

You don't have a skid plate at all?

Could just stick to the easy trails and be fine especially if it's muddy anyway, should be fun regardless. I'd try and get the bumper on at least though lol.

 

You use a puller? I just leave the but on loose and whack the wheel side
To side a few times and they pop right off.

 

I bought the tool, I'm damn well going to use it.

 

Going to be very muddy. Be sure to have several recovery options and take lots of pictures
With the rain we've had and the rain coming late Saturday evening and lasting until the 26th, will definitely be soggy out there. Hell, @Kwikvette better break out the RIB to get down his street where that minivan ended up in the ditch.

I'm all for rain but we need a short break.


have fun all, safe wheelin'

Wake up wake up the sun is up, the dew is on the buttercup

 

wheel and tire connoisseurs, can I run 11.5 wide tires on the 6 inch wide stock steelies? or go 10.5 wide max

 

I should slap you lol

 

I'm running 12.5 wide's on the 7 or 7.5" T4R wheels

Some shops might not mount them, I have never had an issue at the small shops though
