1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Thanks fellas. Truck has pretty much zero rust so it should be pretty straight forward (jinx )

Looks like that's how they're sold for the most part too

Oh those might not even be pressable joints

 

What boots you go with?

 

The shop quoted her 2400$ in parts only for all of the parts that are in that listing. Granted, they may be better quality but damn

 

Go price out arms from Napa. I’ve had great luck with Napa parts

 

I get warm and fuzzy inside when I help others, idk call me weird

 

You know, we saw your Taco, but haven't heard any real plans for this beast.

New bumper is the rabbit hole to a new build.....

 

Just keep it up man. Good things are coming

 

Got some sketchers memory foam ones with the oil resistant bottoms and just regular brown leather tops. Leather seems to take the abuse of a machine shop better than poly materials that just pick up and get ripped by metal chips.

 

I've calmed down some fortunately, you know, #adulting

But at my age, you know what they say? Old enough to know better, but young enough to do it again

 

90 ton is a bit overkill

 

It'll make it very easy, we only have three choices, 65 / 90 / 120... the 90 is always setup and the other two require me to change the hydraulic lines to them and slide them to the center of the gantry, so 90 should be good haha

 

They'll get pressed out for sure

I have to do the driver side bearing on the tundra



I’m dreading it

 

I know with 2nd gen Tacos thats what people usually do rather than just doing the lbj based on the threads I see here

I read some random article on Jalopnik recently about replacing LBJs on old Rams, and it seemed like quite a bit of work because the LBJs were riveted into the arms using huge rivets.

 

Hmmm season 2 of Altered Carbon is coming to Netflix

Season 1 started out real strong but got kind of corny halfway through

 

The couple machinists I worked with a while back always had the best freaking boots. Best looking, best protection etc and to all of their boots they applied that cool poly coating shiz over the toes of the boots too.

 

Same with GMT400 chassis Chevies from the 80s and 90s

 

GF is dressed in a Pikachu onesie on her beanbag playing Pokemon on her Nintendo switch. And I'm here talking to you lot.
