1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

theres a guy local around here with a 2jz 4x4 95.5 truck. his was a 4 pot too. next time i see it i'll grab pictures. Older dude. guy never even bothered documenting it.. he just did it because he got bored.

 

That's the proper way to do it. I just take pics occasionally of things, never write anything down, and anything I remember is all in my head. I have friends that literally stop while we're wheeling or working on a project to write things down, it irks me. Live in the moment god dammit!

 

i'll take pictures. but im not super into documenting the whole thing..

I am thinking about a timelapse when i do the tacos body swap.. since it'll be a day long project once the body works done to hopefully have it running ( engine, trans, gas tank.. everything frame side will be on the frame hopefully by fall at the latest)

 

Oh I don't do weddings lol.. done a couple and I'll never do another. All I'll say is, I have a ton of respect for wedding photographers because that is one hell of a tough gig. But it's way outside of my wheelhouse compared to what I normally do. To be a good wedding photographer you really have to love weddings and working with large groups of strangers, and TBH I really don't haha. Give me a studio and a model or two and I'm where I need to be.

But to your point, it's a good idea to properly vet a wedding photographer and definitely do not cheap out on one. The ones that are good charge a lot of money and for good reason.

 

oh man... adorable! have to love it when they have those little pug faces.

 

What if I promise you alot of good beers

 

Agree and we didn't cheap out at least I didn't think so. He got us for his 1500 deposit but there was no way he was going to get his other 3500. I wouldn't be shocked if they are more than that today. One thing about that dude... and perhaps I should've cut him some slack at the time but I thought I was more than patient - his wife gave birth to their 2nd kid like 2 weeks before our wedding. So, now that I am a parent (and you know as well), it can totally throw a wrench in your daily routine. Thing that pissed me off though - not following up. If he had responded in a timely manner.. or even simply returned our calls perhaps my wife wouldn't have had to make the wedding album herself.

These vendors take you to the bank... literally. Wont even discuss the damn floral lady. Cake lady was cool, didn't mind paying her. Everyone raved about her cakes after the wedding. @Sperrunner give the link to your fiancée -- https://www.danvillebakery.info/

 

I just crawled under the truck broski - NOPE. Nothing. Perhaps its a 2002 thing but there is no plug covering a sensor hole. Perhaps they blended in so well that it is not perceivable...





hahaha.. just saw your reply in that thread. Are you really going to make me go out there again and take pictures?

I'll do it in the AM, its cold out there.

 

I’m genuinely curious. I’ve never seen a non abs elocker housing. If they exist I want one. I can’t stand that stupid inboard seal

 

I'd be willing to bet its there because i did shock work on an 02 without ABS with an elocker and im sure the usual little covers were there.

 

Can always just cut a non e locker/abs housing to work

 

It should. They are pretty small plates

 

Fine. Bastards. Make me go out to the garage @2330 to take pictures of a damn axle.

 

and you... wtf are you doing? go look at wedding dress sites with the mrs.

 

I have an elocker axle right here

 

i thought that was bad luck or some nonsense

 

Why'd you paint over the rust?

 

I have 0 sense of fashion so im no help

 

Rust? This axle housing saw one winter. I had him paint it because he offered to for free
